+Rep on the striplight idea. I've been trying to figure out for ages how to tackle getting some more light into my pc case. I was on the brink of picking up a bunch of high powered led chips and getting the soldering iron etc out. Then I found this thread... After a quick check on ebay to find out that these strips come in way under a tenner, with the driver included... This is the way I'm gonna go! Currently running 3 x 23w 2500k CFLs for both veg and flower, but seriously hovering over the buy button of the 5050s now, to just tape above them for some added bling!
Thanks for checking it out....yeah they work well for their low profile and the fact they use a PC chassis as a heatsink...i will be 'stripping' my little PC down at the end of this exercise and giving her a rejig....she has been trooping for a little while now with no problems.+Rep on the striplight idea.

I agree with caretak3r....5630's or 5730's are the progression...so go down this route...dont get the water proof ones....pointless cost and light diffusion. Also dont rely on the 'adhesive' that comes with the strips...get some thermal glue aswellget 5630s instead of 5050s --- they go for ~$15 per 5m now
dang - i'm always behind - didn't realize there was something newer than 5630s.... I'm just getting around to trying mine out again, in yet another experiment -- this time I'm really having fun and trying a 12 hour day cycle (3 hours on, 9 hours off, with far-red PFR signalling the change so I can try such a short night cycle). Should be fun.I agree with caretak3r....5630's or 5730's are the progression...so go down this route...dont get the water proof ones....pointless cost and light diffusion.

Actually i believe the 5630's and 5730's are the same....depends who is measuring...or is that marketing..?dang - i'm always behind - didn't realize there was something newer than 5630s.... .
Oh sweet....yeah we need some more experiments with these things....i actually thought i would see more of them pop up.....maybe we are just lame... hehehhe
i do intend to document that one - I'm sure inquiring minds want to know whether one can pull of a 3/9 cycle. Sorry for thread-jacking ChronikoolYou doin a thread???????????????????????
That would be a great learning experience
Huh....this is still a thread...?Sorry for thread-jacking Chronikool
long ago in a galaxy far far far far awayHuh....this is still a thread...?
This thread has run its course and has become (s)crap for the RIU pile....or scooped up to be 'Chronikooled' (i deserve a punch in the head for that one...line up!)long ago in a galaxy far far far far away
