Our AstirHorti leds in a design like that :

The star config of 2 ,4 or 6 panels ,is a very nice idea...
Great german design there...

Only for the brave : http://www.scribd.com/doc/87572790/2/TabLE 1-4
i've done it... i sprayed twice the plants with water this summer while they were under open panels.. no problem.. of course i don't recommend it to anyone but if you "miss" the target during foliar feeding for example there is not big of a problem... the drivers are also 100% waterproof too.

SDS, Now that I have seen the panels affix to the heat sink, I had a thought...
IF the panels can be made into plug n play (quick connectors) without heat sinks (customer purchases HS from a more local source) it would bring the world-wide shipping cost down considerably
Supplemental Light for Low Branches
Thought you might like to see how much staggered low watt led panels help increase low branch bud size/volume
First 2 pics are led tent with < 20 watts supplement below the ufos penetration (before the hanger broke).
Pic 3 is HOT5. After realizing how much fuller the led low buds/branches are (~ 4xs), yesterday I added a 3 bulb vanity using 2 ww 13w cfls + 1 @ 24w

Psynobi..
What kind of led configs in those panels ?
Good morning..

At the first hours of 2nd day ,at 4th transition week.
Cycle is 12.15' / 11.45' ....
Today is the 51st day (passed ) ,since their " chloroplasts got into bussiness,for first time "...
Started from approx 48 Watts , escalating gradually to 190 Watts...
...
..
Need your help in designing...
What are your thoughts ,about smaller wattage ,lights ?
( But with the new gen AstirHorti leds...)
I.e ::
..
..
Any opinions / thoughts are very welcome ....

A) 12 cool, 6 neutral,4 warm,2 red B) 8 cool, 6 neutral, 6 warm, 4 red. veg panels only

12 cool, 6 neutral,4 warm,2 red :
Way too much blue / green wls ....
Keep testing them ,though...
Nothin' to loose...Only to gain...
8 cool, 6 neutral, 6 warm, 4 red. :
Better but still much blue / green wls ...
By now we 've learned that the ' Warm White ' is the best available phosphor led for plant growth....
No...
Neutrals (mainly ) should be out of the panel....
Replaced by WW.
Even for vegging...
But keep testing them...
One never knows...
But I think ,with ganja's config ,you should had got better vegging plants..

Goodmorning everybody,
SDS i have a led strip ( cool white) which i bought for about 10euros....It has about 30 small leds (60 per meter) and im powering it with a 12V mobile phone charger...
Do you think i can veg one sprouting plant for 2-3 days (until it sprouts and for 1-2 more days)? until drivers arive ?
It looks like this...

Yeap...I think it can be useful for such a use...
(But not so efficient...Though still better than most CFLs.. )

I had an idea you propably already had, but i ll tell you anyway...
What if you dont have to use soldering at all for leds on pcb...
The idea is pretty simple.You make a custom panel (like the whites u got) but on pcb there are little clip-on's in every led circle which are going to receive the little led in a drawer movement...(συρταρωτά
)From the outside the clips will be completely insulated...
And you just , plug and play...

And what about thermal contact between led & clip ?
Some thermal paste needed there also...
Nice idea...
Needs a bit of careful designing there...

Thermal paste will be aplied in every new led that is going to be inserted onto the pcb..nothing tricky there, i think
*Clip is only going to be connected with the +/- "legs" of the led...the base of the led will be touching the pcb as usual...

To Astir Team :
Guys, ok...
Our ' man ' said that quality uva chips (at approx 400mW output ),
are 4-5 x times more expensive than the bridgelux H1 bin....
But look ....
..
A bud directly under of one 395-410 nm violet 1 watt led
(output approx at 250 mW : Edison led ,EDEV-1LS1-R ,bin J) ..
Sure fluffier and more airy bud than most of the rest...
But still on transition period...
Not on a heavy flowering stage...
Look trichome concentration...
We have to make some hot whites with uv chips ... ( Mark UV )

I wonder whether the 2 equilateral triangles (currently have the same 1500 diodes) should be different - one triangle one color, the other another
