Ah that helps thank you. When you say 'sufficient light' achieved by 75 watts do you mean 27w/sqft is good enough? Or am I finding w/sqft incorrectly; 75 / 2.77 = 27 w/sqft right? My understanding is that lower w/sqft (>30) and full power at flower (>50). Is this bs? As for those single strips...

Um no, not at all. I was asking in genral if it is a good way of measuring the light to space properly. You didn’t even mention w/sqft so what up?! No criticism here I’m purely looking for help and information. :P All the 3000k boards seem to be sold out atm. That’s the best temp to get for...

Does something like this make more sense? https://cobkits.com/product/qb304-quantum-board/ Seems to simple lol

Hm... after doing some research on ideal watts/sqft will those lights really be the best choice to achieve >50w/sqft during flower? In my space (20"x20") I would have room for 2.77sqft of canopy to cover. When that datasheet reads: 'Voltage range: 22~27V and Current range: 2.5~5A' does that...

Am I able to react to posts on the web browser version?

I did indeed. Thanks When the driver reads MAX current of 5A that means when the potentiometer is at 100% it has a current of 5A right? So in the case of two pairs of strips (4 total) to run the whole array at 1A I would set the potentiometer value to .4/ 40%? And for running at 1.4A set to...

My initial choice was to run x2 https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/samsung-semiconductor-inc/SL-B8V2N80LAWW/1510-2446-ND/8536579 but they're 22" long and my space is 20"x20". Could go diagonal :p For the sake of cost doesn't it make more sense to get a single driver? What are the...

bumps:peace:

Howdy y'all, I've been doing some research for building a Samsung strip lighting set up for a 20x20x40inch grow tent and just have a few questions!: Will this driver work for 4x SL-B8V1N30LAWW (1-1.6A, 11.1V/per strip) in series...

bump :eyesmoke:

I was thinking I could run them slightly diagonally because I should have 28" of diagonal headspace. Is that a dumb idea lol? I see the shorter ones are only slightly more in cost if it would be more worthwhile. One thing that comes to mind is how beefy of heat sync do I need for a stip like...

I appreciate all the info! Will this driver work for 2x SL-B8V2N80LAWW (1-1.6A, 22.3V/per strip)? https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/mean-well-usa-inc/HLG-185H-C1400B/1866-2412-ND/7703968 or will it not pull enough volts at lowered current (1-1.4A) with only two in series? Also when...

I think I'm leaning toward the strips for a few reasons; light distribution and heat distribution manly. Are you referring to something like this?: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/samsung-semiconductor-inc/SL-B8V2N80LAWW/1510-2446-ND/8536579 I'm confused by the format of your...

Hey y'all, I've been working on a build list for a microgrow setup and am having trouble figuring out if I should use a COB or multiple Samsung LED strips. I'm thinking either: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/samsung-semiconductor-inc/SL-B8V3N80LAWW/1510-2449-ND/8536580 x2 or...

Howdy yall, I've been doing some research about lighting for a microgrow setup and it seems that Samsung LED strips are a good choice. That being said how do these lights differ from one another...
