Hi guys, I am new to DIY LED and i am just after some advice please?
I'm trying to build a Cree CXB3590 array for a room of 2x2m (6'6"x6'6").
So far is have 36 x CXB3590s (12 x 2700k, 12 x 3000k & 12 x 3500k)
I'm splitting the 36 cobs into 6 rectangle fixtures to fill the square room, composing of 6 cobs each fixture (2 x 2700k, 2 x 3000k & 2 x 3500k) with a dimmer for each fixture.
I've bought the kit from Cutter. As some of you may know Cutter do not sell Mean-well drivers, they sell Zhonhen PF-P400CC-C140-S-DM 1.4A 314Vdc drivers. Are these as efficient as Mean-well drivers?
As this set-up is going to be predominantly geared up as a flowering light, I'm looking into purchasing some Cree CXB3590 5000k's to veg under. How many would you suggest for a 2x2m room? I was thinking of buying 9 x 5000k's, bunching up the pots to one side of the room into a 2x1m area. This would be covered by 3 of the rectangle fixtures and adding 3 x 5K cobs into each fixture, totalling 9 x 5000's?
Will 9 x 5000k cobs be sufficient?
If so, would you do this, or would you build separate fixtures that house the 5ks to allow me to have flexibility to move the veg lights around more easily?
I've attached a pictures, one of them is of the fixture that I've built. It has 2 x 2700k, 2 x 3000k & 2 x 3500k cobs installed. I've put 3 heat sinks to show where i was thinking of adding the 3 x 5000k cobs.
I've also created a collage of where the 6 fixtures would hypothetically be on MS Paint.
If you've got this far, many thanks and I look forward to any responses!
Regards
Max.
