The QB's are the hottest thing going so if you have them in hand I would not sweat the H series strips. If, however, youre setting your alarm and smashing the refresh button like youre trying to score Stones tickets and striking out....there are alternatives to fighting the thundering horde.

Makes sense. Where do you find the bin info for the strips?

Smh. You ask a vague question and someone answers it and you get snippy. Do some reading enough spoonfeeding for this baby.

What drive current?

You said it man! Not to mention more flexibility with the 24v strips......... 384 vs 304...26% more of the same exact chips por menos dinero! Andale cabron! :fire:

I'm just playin bro...y'know i like to stir the pot... But if i was in the market for a new flowering fixture I would not be waiting in line for a quantum board... Stock: 3330 :twisted:

Me too. And at $9.75 and free shipping you can buy 8 x 2ft strips for the same price as a quantum board :o Thats 26% more output, better spread, and easier cooling for less money. Kinda bizarre how folks are still buying those things huh?

Arrow sells the 2ft 3000k H-series strips for $9.75 with free shipping. The B-lux eb strips are $7.48 from Digikey and shipping is about $1 per strip. So 91% output for 86.9% of the price. The samsungs also output more at any given current because they are slightly higher voltage. I'd call...

Everyone worth their salt prefers discrete diodes to cobs... but until about 6 mos ago the only justifiable (and affordable) departure from an HPS without reflow soldering hundreds of leds was a CoB based luminaire. When you're not a researcher (no one here is paid to be) you use what tools are...

What's offensive is your pompous attitude. I hate to break it to you but no one cares that you grow cucumbers for some secret university. This is a ganja growing site. Hundreds of members grow ganja here with myriad spectra and intensities of both discrete diodes and cobs and submit their...

Here's a thread from 2014 to get you started...

You can build a more efficient lamp with vero, citizen, or luminus cobs for less dough than a comparable sCree lamp. Not to mention all of the cheaper and more efficient PCB strip light and board options out there. Its a wonder folks are even still returning to cxb's. I say this having only...

What a completely worthless post. Of course its worth showing your power bill! It's the easiest way to account for system efficiency and present a fudge-free argument for how much you can expect to save after the switch. As has been mentioned before, efficiency doesnt end at the...

Depends on why youre running supplementals. Some folks run far-red as a flower-trigger 5-10mins at lights on and off. Others run supplementals to beef up the red/blue peaks in the spectrum. Jury is still out as to how much red/blue is optimal for increased mass and resin production but the...

Water cooling would be overkill unless you're trying to remove heat from your grow space (as opposed to just cooling your emitters). Looks like you might squeeze 12 x 4' strips on the elg-200 @ 700mA although the test current in the DS is 960mA and max volt is ~24v so hard to say. Nothing...

You really will jump at any opportunity to shout your overstated involvement with a totally average lightmaker from the rooftops. Your "expertise" is pure fantasy. We'll never know what spectrum works best in what application with what strain until we have a tool that can incrementally and...
