Just 1 cob holder and 1 adapter per light. So no extra sets.Awww. So you need to buy another set up adapters that you can sacrifice the locking arms on for the stella. I get it meow.

If I wanted to use angelinas, I'd need an extra. What I mean is, with the adapters I have on now to hold my reflectors, I couldn't use again if I modified them to fit the stella Lens.Just 1 cob holder and 1 adapter per light. So no extra sets.
I only have 1 together so far and it's reading 165 from the wall on a kill-o-watt here in the us.Hey everyone,
I could use your input here, as I don't know if Dan is available in weekends and I've been very confused since yesterday.
So here is the thing, I just got a 4 COB kit from Timber (4 x cxb3590 + hlg185h-1400b). Everything allright, a bunch of light. BUT, my cheap killawatt thingy says it's running at 0.7A, giving me 156W.
I was expecting +200W. Still doesn't make any sense, as that wattage (156.6W) would be @1.0875A.
I'm from EU, in case the different voltage is causing this behaviour. Or maybe my cheap electric monitor is giving me fake data.
Thanks,
J.
I could kiss you right now! Thanks man, that was it. It's giving me now [email protected].It's the grounds. If the two grounds that come with the kit touch(are grounded out) it's only pushing ~ 165w for me.
disconnect the grounds and it's 213w
make sure to keep the drivers ground connected just in case.I could kiss you right now! Thanks man, that was it. It's giving me now [email protected].
Still weird numbers, and my ocd is freaking out about it, but oh well at least I have my +200W.
Again, thanks man!
Actually it was him who told me to connect the 2 grounds together (or grounding them to the power supply case) until I have the frame to connect them to it.As Dan added grounds for a reason
Right but even properly grounding them to the frame case or whatever you use drops it back to 164w....Actually it was him who told me to connect the 2 grounds together (or grounding them to the power supply case) until I have the frame to connect them to it.
I guess we'll just have to wait till him or someone more knowledgeable than us can answer it.Right but even properly grounding them to the frame case or whatever you use drops it back to 164w....
Here's a good explanation. If it's not grounded it works as a variable resistor.I guess we'll just have to wait till him or someone more knowledgeable than us can answer it.
Damn I hate not knowing things!
See, that I knew, and the numbers makes sense (4*36*1.4*1.06 = ~213) just like I like it.Also, FYI the drivers being 94% efficient means they need about 12 watts to run at 200 watts total. That's why we are getting about 212 ish watts from wall Hommie.
Hello Desmond J and BM9AGS,Here's a good explanation. If it's not grounded it works as a variable resistor.
So I assume Dan gave us the option to use the pot as a pot or as a VR by giving us the wire. So I'm just gonna tape it off

Next time use a mail forwarding site like shipito.com, you fill out your own customs declarations so I usually state everything is a warranty return or an exchange and everything comes through with zero charges. I bought 9 gavita 1000's and they all made it with zero duty, taxes or brokerage and I never changed the packaging either.Just a heads up for Canadians, after extra $50 shipping, $144 in custom clearance, the $500 kit endup being $850 CAD....
So, frauding federal international customs? Awesome.Next time use a mail forwarding site like shipito.com, you fill out your own customs declarations so I usually state everything is a warranty return or an exchange and everything comes through with zero charges.

I use this service for everything mail order, its awesome on saving $$$.
They even offer a service where they take everything out of its packaging and toss out all paperwork then repack everything in a new box.
I said awesome didn't i?Fuck customs, and fuck getting raped on taxes...stfu airwalker..like u are offended.
Better then getting raped on brokerage fees by these corporate douchebags.So, frauding federal international customs? Awesome.
