No I dont have any grow threads or LED threads on RIU, yet. Hopefully your drivers show up soon for you, how many V10s are you running, what color temp and drive current, and what size area is it to cover? Nice, I was just going to cut them to length just so there isnt a bunch of extra wiring...

Damn sounds like fun. I got the 6" 28 gauge ones I think since I figured I would cut them shorter and solder into a pair of positive/negative wire for each bar (Veros in parallel).

Supra, I pushed on the yellow center part with my thumb while pulling the plastic holder towards the thumb and the COB chip came out of the holder, had to use a decent amount of force until the contact points broke free from the holder. There are 4 contact points on the corners of the chip two...

Looks like some primetime nuggetry Supra. Im thinking about ordering a Vero 10 3500K and a 3000K to test 4000K 3500K 3000K in combinations side by side. I liked the coverage with the V10s placed ~4" on center but not sure about 4000K alone for flowering, Flux does real well with his and buds...

Got a couple pics taken of the CXA 3000K vs Vero 4000K, wow a big difference, the Vero 4000K is pure white. Makes a good light for taking pics of the girls. I got two quick pictures of the Vero 4000K light shining into the tent on the girls before I failed to continue holding both heatsinks...

Wow those numbers are a lot better than the last chart you posted for me of the minimum numbers. Is this different because of the updated spreadsheets or are these the typical numbers or both? Good info for sure. I when you mentioned the 3590 on this driver being really efficient I thought it...

89% efficiency is decent, too bad they arent PF corrected too though. Which Veros would you get 40-44% efficiency with using these drivers? What bin/spectrum 3590 can you use to get 62% efficiency?

16.5w warm, 18.2w cool, tested with multimeter after doing the Kill A Watt tests (had removed the KAW and plugged driver power cord direct into wall socket for multimeter readings). Took the multimeter readings after the heatsinks, COBs, and driver had been warm for a while but only tested...

Well I tested a little bit the performance of the drivers I got, paid $5.54 for two of them though the auction said $2.92 each. Drivers say DC 39-63V 300mA +/-5%. Again this was 2 Vero 10 4000K in series on one of the cheap drivers. Kill-A-Watt #s Initially PF .63 18.2w .23A...

Slapped together the string of two V10 4000K to test them. Positioned the emitters apart 4" and 4.375" on center, the distances that would be between them if I choose to run the 35 V10 setup. Good output and coverage in the middle of the emitters even close, ~3-4" away from the COB faces (though...

I have a batch of newspaper that I soaked in molasses and lacto b serum for bokashi starter (takes place of the bokashi bran in between food layers). Its been sealed up in a gallon ziplock bag for 15 days now so its done, instructions I read said 10-14 days. Should there be a some mold on the...

Got those cheap drivers today only 1 week from china, not bad. They are a little different then the ones in the picture, almost the same but the ac wires are blue instead of white and the sticker is different as well as output voltage of 39-63V instead of the 30-65V pictured (according to the...

Did a little more thinking and not instead of 4x6 Vero 10s I am thinking maybe 5x7 on a HLG-185H-C1400 like Mr Flux but with 2 more Veros per bar (each ~200ma for ~37% efficiency), 5 bars in series, 7 V10s per bar in parallel. Still contemplating different ways to do this while I wait for my...

Nice POS 10 COBs, what spectrum and drive current? Havent been lurking threads on RIU lately going to have to look back the last few pages of the thread and see what Ive missed.

Damn Digikey is always fast, picked the cheapest shipping option and it still came in 2 days. These Vero 10s are smaller than I was thinking they would be (knew they were small COBs but thought they would be a little bit bigger). The whole chip would fit on or inside the yellow part of a CXA3070...

I used Floranova Bloom last run in coco drain to waste and its pretty decent especially for the price and super concentrated.

Im running a Panasonic FV-08VKS2 80cfm pushing through a Mountain Air 6" x 20" 265cfm (not the big air version, those have thinner carbon bed the original I have is 2" thickness). Blowing through the filter muffles the exhaust sound enough to where it is in half of a closet with sliding doors...

Do you have any spreadsheet for Vero 10s? I doubt it but figured I would ask, I love the efficiency vs drive current charts.

My picks are White Funk, DayBreaker, Cherry Puff, Mendodawg in no particular order.

Ya I posted that question about those $2.92 30-65v 300mA drivers a couple days ago in another thread. I was looking at your recommendations and I really like the idea of HLG-240H-30A (4-8A adj.) with the 24 Vero 10s in parallel. I like that I wouldnt have to bin and match even strings like I...
