So i finally made the order and got 20 2ft eb strips. Now for the aluminum. I found a bunch (for a steep price) but they are all soo damn flimsy. Im gonna have to order some. So my question is how thick should the 2 ft flat aluminum bars be? I dont wanna get something super thick but i also...

Hoow thick should these aluminum bars be if i have to order them? I dont wanna end up with flimsy metalXD

I have low expectations for everything to make sure im impressed;) but even the low expectations of the p450 from platinum was bulllllshitXD

Just ordered 20 2ft eb strips. 10 3500k 4 3000k 4 4000k and 2 5000k Now for the driver. And recommendations?

Idc about wiring. Honestly rather wire more. Just not soo much drilling. But both are skills that could come in handy.

So i should go with the longer strips? I was thinking smaller because i can play wth the spectrum a bit more... but its no time for me to be playing around. Thats for when i have a good light up instead of an hpsXD

I can get like 30 eb strips and save like 80 bucks for drivers. Im kind of leaning on the eb strips. Maybe ill grab a few samsung strips for a seedling light and see how i like em.

I was gonna buy 25 f series for 361canadian. These: https://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/samsung-semiconductor-inc/SI-B8U261560WW/1510-2218-ND/6624002 And get a few hlg 320 1050 or 1400 drivers.

I like the quantum boards. But 75 usd is 100 canadian. Id only get 4 boards. I can buy more strips. Plus kits usualy cost more then everything seperate. The qbs are just samsung strips in a board for a little extra. Not to mention hard to get because they are always out of stockXD

Oh i see. Bridgelux has stepped up their game. Well i feel what i save with the eb strips ill have to spend on more driversXD so either way its about the same price. I chexked the site. Shipped from edmonton 25 pieces of 24 inch aluminum bar at 1nch width costs about 143. Not bad at all. I...

What strips you liking? I got a fair enough budget for half a light. At around 600 canadian. Was looking at the f series strips by samsung. The ebstrips being less efficiant and probably have a snaller lifespan (i do plan on building a better light when fund approve) are half the price of the...

Well i was gonna pay 42 per 3590 from rapid with the holder and reflector included. So i dont mind paying for the good good. Ill have to email heatsink usa about shipping prices. Im honestly leaning on the strips. I was planning on doing seperate bars instead of a big one. And i mean the...

Well. The size is an inch. And its 8ft long. Only aluminum i can find that is flat. Heatsink usa could work living in canada shipping sucks. Yes steel sucks.

Easy for you. Ive been looking for some good metal for the strips. If i want light weight stuff ima pay an arm and leg for it. The 19 dollar heatsinks from rapid led would be cheaper then me paying 27 bucks for one thing of aluminum that can fit maybe 2 or 3 stripsXD now steel. I can find any...

Ok so im def out dated. Veros and clu are better then 3590 now?? God damnXD i was looking at getting everything off rapid led since its a one stop shop.

Thats what i was thinkingXD thats why i wanna get the strips. Build a 3070 and a strip light. But im not in the position to be testing atm.

Hey guys. Ive lurked around here for a few years since green genes first cob build. I bought some 3070s a while ago and never got around to building a light because of me being too ocd to use ghetto frames and i live in a horrible place for finding things i need. Well time has come that i found...

ah ok so i shall just google this. thanks dude:)

Hey guys. I ordered a thousand lm561c chips from samsung but i cant find pcb boards anywhere. Do you guys know where to find some for these chips? Thanks!:)
