You can run 6 but its really close to the drivers minimum you might want to run 7 instead I dont think its overkill. I run 75w over a 2x4 and its 100-220par only 7 little strips at 350 is only 54w. For veg I would run all 11 - but you can add more later if its not enough.

Thank you :clap:

If the current is at or below the maximum for that part of the curve it will work?

I meant to say, the typical vf of the led board is 46vf. So heres my next question. Using my example 46vf led- If I connect it to a constant voltage driver that puts out 56v, what will that do? What about connecting the 46vf led to a 30v constant voltage driver? I am trying to understand...

Hello. If I have an LED board rated for 46V but I run it at 44v is it bad for the LED or driver? Will the led try to pull 46v and stress the driver? Will it stress te LEDs? Thanks!

This should be a sticky

1- Series 2- Push in trap connectors like quantum boards or samsung strips. You need solid core 3- running at current specified above you dont need any heatsink If you are going to keep them that close we might want to check for a dimmable driver incase its too much. If you plan on getting 6...

Free software is fun. Should I call it the Tomato Tornado instead? How about Cucumber Cultivator... @Growmau5 Hey man - is this a bad idea? (having the 110 on the aluminum tube mainbody)

I have been looking for that answer for quite a while. Great to hear.

@MrTwist1 Those are Bluemat Watering Stones right? How do you like those? Do they work well?

Nice man :)

That's good news, thanks for that info

Honestly I'm not sure yet. I think it might be too much power for the space - I might take it down to three strips and power it down to 500ma. I better figure it out before the pepper plants go in there. :cool:

It's coming! The build thread is going to be here over on ledbuilder.org inspired by everyone thank you guys for sharing everything you have - This just keeps getting better doesn't it? 2 of these: 6" x 2" aluminum rectangular tube - 44" long. Air cooled with Fan grills Far Red monos for...

Never! I will probably build it and sell it. Haha yes. It's going to happen.

Hey, don't want anyone to miss out - I updated data in the table that compares samsung H to bridgelux above

Here's comparing EB Strips and Samsung H strips. Things you can learn from this: If you need absolute cheapest startup cost, EBs win but will operate at 134lm/w If you plan on running EBs soft at 700ma (156lm/w) $350, you might be better to get Samsung H's and run them at max power 2.1A...

Don't goto home depot. look for a local metal supply company, it can be 1/4 of the cost of home depot.

Too much light for the clones! They are curling up.

Ah, that makes sense. I was thinking the other way. I'm comparing output, not watts. I know already samsung is more efficient.
