    Anyone using COB/Cree LEDs in micro?

    yeah...these are one of the highest binned led out, cree cxb 3590 5000k db bin. Over 200 l/w supposedly at the current they are running. About 350ma and 12.5w each in the picture....3 at 500ma and 18w each with a dimmer would be about the perfect light for the space. Could passive cool it...

    Anyone using COB/Cree LEDs in micro?

    It was $240 with shipping when I looked. Thats some coin but it does have separate channels so you could possibly control the growth a bit better. Tasty led, one of the advertisers here might have a good light for your space. Not sure of the dimensions, it may eat up a lot of headroom. 40w a...

    Anyone using COB/Cree LEDs in micro?

    Well you need something low profile.. Hans panel is good but hard to recommend knowing how well cobs work. Still its plug and play and would work well I'm sure http://www.bonsaihero.com/index.php/ledgrow-led-panel-85-w or..of course...just build two cpu cooler cob setups. Should cover the area...

    IF you are new to LED and want help choosing what to buy, POST HERE!

    You just need to check the driver and LED data sheets. min voltage on the hlg 185c is 71v so you should just make it at 72v with two cobs. Driver efficiency would drop from 94-95% to 92-93% efficiency. Not too bad I don't think. I did something like that recently. Like you said, you can always...

    CXB3590 1500W

    Great point.. I don't see that echoed often enough. Lots of recommendation to use the driver but not much warning. Thanks for the clarification on how they would be classed.

    Problems with ldeal COB holders

    Try and explain it best I can.. The cob does easily pop out. The process I use is a extra step compared to putting the TIM on while in the holder. They all WILL stay in. Some more so then others 1. Put TIM on COB as evenly and thinly as possible out of holder 2. Pick up COB by edges trying...

    420nm vs 440nm, debate continues....

    Was more interested in the specific videos you liked. When you have time, no worries. Any pictures of lights? grows? So we can see how the 420nm/660nm stacks nodes and increases trichomes... You can check my thread Diy led grow for about 2 years of steady grows using monos and cobs

    Vero18 and Vero29 Test Grow

    looks a little dark on the edges. Nice and bright in the center. I recommend turning the light all the way up so we can see what it can really do

    Why do conservatives tend to hate rap?

    Every genre has someone that sucks and someone that rises above most and crosses genres. Good concert last night. Music with a message, should fit perfect in the politics section too. Eclectic should just be called open minded, its what it is. Conservatives not open minded? Who woulda thought.

    Troubleshooting: DIY Light on the fritz

    I'd guess a wire was shorting out somewhere. Did you notice some dim and some not. Lot of times the point it becomes not lit at is a trouble spot Use a multimeter to test each star possibly...may now have a dead one..
