Bridgelux Product Simulator

Hi People,

So check this out. I asked about how to use the Samsung calculator and an amazing user linked to me the Samsung Engine calculator and it was super helpful in assessing strips andf systems. No I present to you Bridgelux product simulator. Don't know if everyone already knew about it but its fucking amazing from a growing perspective as it tells you PPF and umol/j For their diodes at whatever current you pick. It's an excel sheet, you just have to enter your email and whatever and then they let you download

I've also attached the file to this post.

Enjoy!

your link also allows the download without entering your datas.

the math for the Gen2 EB2 are a bit of it seems, at least below about 100mA.
the data for the 2835 Gen3 EB3 diode seems to hold up better.
sadly no data at all for the CRI90.

for my example Gen3 CRI80 2100mA 14S strips x 4P.
each strip is 4S 17P, so 2100/17=123.5/4=31mA each led.
190 lumen , 2.9 ppfd, sounds realistic.

my leds never see 31mA, more like 16mA max.
203 lumen, 3.0 ppfd, sounds also realistic.

a lot of the time the leds wont see more then 10mA each, numbers are even better there and prob realistic.

awesome numbers with 5mA for the gen3 ! btw.
but would be hard to fit enough leds in to the space, even using the EB3 less wide slim version.

the 2835 3V D looks good, especially on higher amperes.
on which strips etc. are they used?

I think the gen 2 don't work out because the board is under rated. If you add up all the diode watts they don't add up to the claimed board watts. I read it somewhere on the forums. Here or ledgardener. The eb gen 2 boards have a true max current of like 2.7 instead of 2.4 or something like that. It was it 1.7 instead of 1.4. Anywaaaay

"If you add up all the diode watts they don't add up to the claimed board watts " i think that would be the same case for the EB3, they just refer to the used diode in the exel form.

they havent entered any data for the eb2 going that low, thats the explanation.

they clearly havent entered datas or wrong datas below a certain point.
5mA
EB2 2936 lumen per watt and 43ppfd
EB3 193 lumen 2.8ppfd

1mA
EB2 14805 lumen 216ppfd
EB3 614 lumen 9ppfd, also starting to become bs.

looks like the data for the eb2 is usable down to about 100mA and for the eb3 down to about 10mA, maybe a tad lower.
