    DIY with Quantum Boards

    So far, so good with the Elite 96 board, running on the 133mm pre drilled heatsink, on a HLG-120H-54A driver. The room it hangs in, runs at 80+ F. I managed to keep the heatsink measurement under 50C(cheapo IR gun) up to 110W draw(Kill-a-watt) without dedicated fan pointage. The driver itself...

    All BS set aside CMH yields

    A single 315cmh will cover nearly 9 square feet adequately, hanging at say 20"... The horizontal hoods, will throw a rectangular footprint, vs the vertical being more square-ish. Don't count on it replacing much higher wattage output HID systems. I own several 315W units, they produce fantastic...

    Samsung F Strip Build

    I've seen that happen before. Was wondering how long it would last. Keep a close eye on them though, Arrows prices are extremely fluid.

    3Thirteen Seeds

    I generally avoid removing fan leaves, but these are absurd, some of them had to go. I'm thrilled with this Citrus Milf. It's proven to clone readily as well.

    Dirty rippers!

    Yeah, I'm in MI. One reasonable method, is enough suitable deterrent. The illusion, of an actual electric fence, complete with high voltage signs, posted on the perimeter. . An active electric fence is a liability. Electric fences, look the same, whether live or not. Are they willing to...

    Older LED Value and worth?!???

    It was a $700 light. I looked. Definitely not worth $700 from what I can tell, but that's what they were going for. I do gotta say however, that housing, heatsink, whatever you want to call it, I'd like to see what that MF could handle!!! Retrofit with sumthin!!! Fitty bucks for the sink.

    Samsung F Strip Build

    Arrow doesn't dick around either. Like near instantaneous shipping. I've literally, had packaging on my doorstep less than 24 hours from order. Nevada ,to Da UP of MI. Still makes me wonder how.

    Samsung F Strip Build

    Ya know, I am getting different numbers from each distributor. I was mildly drunk(he hee) when I was digging into this, and fuckin Samsung has so many gawd danged strips, the part numbers start blending together!!!! I think the Influx Linear, is slightly less "gooder" than the H Influx....like...

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    I can't imagine needing more than one per 2x2, as long as they are running at 120+ W.

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    Yes. One single board, with a 120 level MW driver. Just like the kits HLG offers. That way, the slate2 single heatsink can handle it!!!

    Hold on here, I'm a little late to this party....I gotta get caught up. Who's currently in charge here LOL.

    Surprised to see Hlg slumming it.

    It's a brand name. That's the name they chose. Paid to have it trademarked. Anybody who uses the term Quantum Board, for an LED product, is in violation of intellectual property statutes, and should prepare for a lengthy and costly litigation. The right to use the term Quantum Board legally...

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    Holy funk Ramen.... One single 2x2 area, you can get by with 120(ish) W....the one you linked is a 240W driver. Same idea, but smaller, HLG-120H-54 for a single board, ought to be plenty for a 2x2.

    Bridgelux EB Gen 2 Heatsinking

    Those 1" heatsink USA profiles(which are awesome) are plenty capable, for passive cooling BXEB Gen2 560mm, at 1400ma. You would not even need those, even .125" aluminum u chanel will keep them cool. Not even a question. I have hundreds of BXEB strips. Yes, 1050ma is fine, bare naked. Been...

    Did my Meanwell driver short itself?

    I would think, there has some sort of sequence, maybe only MW would know, but yeah likely.
