I am new to this site, been a indoor grower since 1/1/1999, and only recently I switched from HPS to LED lighting.
Heat issues on my grow system made me think of LED rather than a 400w HPS lamp that I originally used.
This is a octagon made with heat sink that is 1/4" think with 1" cooling fins. I have 16 LED's mounted one each panel for a total of 126 LED's.
The idea is this tower will provide the vegy spectrum and the floral spectrum I feel the plant needs.
I feel the lower half is used during vegy stage and the upper half with lower half in floral stage.
10 different color's a, Blue, Roy Blue, WW, CW, NW, Turq., Violate, Red, Deep Red, and Far Red.
I have 11 Inventronic drivers as the power source for the tower. Each one has a ON/OFF power switch and I will have dimming control on 11 of the drivers. I got in a rush in ordering and got a non dimmable driver, but do wonder if their is a way I can get some dimming control on it.
I also got in a rush and ordered 10 of these 10k pot's, which now I realize are not what I needed, well after some reading here I may might be able to use 5 of them, but need some help figuring it out.
I do have 5 correct sized pot's ordered and soon will get them installed.
I will have spent near $1600.00 on this project, and if I did the math correctly, this tower is 623watts when all is turned on at full throttle, but I did not design it to all be on at the same time..
