    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    I was actually saying get 5 drivers for 5 leds (Sorry if it was unclear) They put out 10w each at around 300mA, just wanted to know if it was possible to hook up 1 Led at 10 watts or if its restricted to 6-10 x 1w leds (Should work with 1 x 10w led I think)

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    I messaged the company and its only $50 USD for a 300w chip :P I might get a few to test out I've attached the pdf they sent me with specs, can someone who knows spectrum wavelengths recommend which chip (3000,4000 or 5000k) for flowering? Im guessing if I ran the chip at 300w it would be too...

    First Grow Soil/Medium help Indoor's

    I'll have a look into it, I was gonna go as basic as possible for my first grow but may as well learn it now I've got a small sized setup in my bedroom, would anything in the soil be dangerous in this area? I don't have a carbon filter yet but will try and get one going before flowering

    First Grow Soil/Medium help Indoor's

    Got my seeds today and am keen to get one setup under my LED's. Been looking all over at recommendations for mediums which has been confusing. I am confused at Widow Maker's thread where it says "You want a soil rich in nutrients. Unless its a seedling" Do I use a potting mix without any...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    Okay thanks. I'm gonna see if I can get larger heatsinks (like your medium build) locally. I was looking at CPU coolers but unfortunately down under Id be looking at 110 AUD for 5 arctic 11's. I'll change to the other drivers as well, wasn't sure about the other ones because they don't put much...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    Im thinking of using 5 vero 29's at 4000k and running each at 50w. Im still pretty confused but am getting used to COB's (Been reading lots of threads for about a week) Anyone know if these heatsinks will be alright? >LINK< Might run a fan on them to keep them cooler. Im also going to be using...

    Got my little LEDs setup (around 72w total) and have some seeds on the way. Trying to get everything else sorted but as the Mars II price has gone up in aus im looking at alternatives. First one is a COB, I haven't had success in finding this model anywhere else but they claim its a...

    Do you think these LED panels would work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/191424383013 If I used these I might not need a reflector. Since they run 12v I can hook them up to an ac - dc convertor. Im thinking of ordering 10x5w warm and cool white so should be around 100w total for $30. Main thing would...

    Does the wattage matter? Buying the 18w will be cheaper than the 9w, gonna order around 10 of the white and 10 warm white if you think it will be alright. Is there anything else I need to use these lights for a full grow such as other colours? Would I need to get reflectors as well or just use...

    I had a look at your journal and also captainmorgan's, I think I like the led bulbs but am unable to find the exact type used here down under. A hardware store near me had phillips led lightbulbs in 3000k, 6500k and only a 3w 2700k "candlelight". They also have a 11w 4000k mini downlight. Would...

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

    It will be around 3x3x7, how many plants would be recommended for that space? What size CMH light would I need? I want to keep my electricity usage under 200watt/hour until I can get solar panels put in (Average Kw/H here is over 30 cents) after that I'll get a 600w+ system. Would it still be...

    My first post. Been looking into lights on here for awhile and Im going with the Mars Hydro. Need some advice on panels and achieving a high yield. I don't want anything that will draw to much power until I can get solar panels. Im thinking of going for the 300w reflector or the other 300w led...
