Ok will see if i can arrange to biild. The extrusor sound to be a bit complicated to find.
If i have to buy, on sites Corey suggested me, i found the HLG 100 v2 for 150€. Two of them would be a good choise as well?
4k or 3k?

Its a good choice but id recome d taking a look at :
https://www.led-tech.de/en/SYSTEM-bundle-2x-ZEUS-308-XT-in-3500k-and-frame-kit-29-5x100
Its basicly the same thing (same diodes) but comes without power supply. Good thing about this alternative is that its better spread out over a bigger wouldboard.Hlg100 need higher hanging height which limits your plant size.
Led-tech also got a very nice board:
https://www.led-tech.de/en/ZEUS-308-XT-PLUS-High-Performance-KIT-3500k-Hyper-Red
Red flower boost on a separate channel using 12 osram square hyper reds.
This is very comparable to hlgs r spec but this board actually lets you control spectrum on 2 separate channels if iiuc.
If you can afford this id say its your best option.

Very good boards bró!
The second one i need 2 right? So we go aroud 350€ its 100 more on top.
But the first one is already 2 on one board which cover the entire space more less... And for 229€! I got it right it will be a very good option? In these case overall would be my best choise i guess.
P. S..... Forgot the power supply, but even like this.

I don't think theres any need to go over a meanwell hlg185- driver with that zeus set up. You can get 200w out of a 185 driver and you only really need 160

Not to further complicate things but have you seen the new meanwell XLG series which go up to 240w but cost a lot less than the HLG series?

Do you mean the ELG series? Yes. Good for 220V ac. The voltage is usually not exactly the same. In any case
Make sure they help you out with chosing a power supply for you. Email them and they can sort it out. This will be a much better buy than either vipar or king plus.
One warning though, start building your own lights and you get addicted, much harder than weed...

Hahahah,
Ok i will, yes thought would be better ask them for help, the bundle doesnt come with dissipation, so need to buy separately guess.
Plus my actual lenght is 97cm not 100(sigh) i need to cut a small piece of the profile (not a big deal tho.

Thats the good thing with big boards, they have enough dissipation just from their size. Should handle all the way up to 150w. Give them a bit of airflow and you will be golden. Or just put them on some aluminium sheet, a few cms extra on each side. But afaik the 308XL dont need any dissipation.

No, XLG, smaller and cheaper than HLG series. Still not in stock in many of the usual places but one price I found was £35 for the 240w model. From what I can see would be useful for some running strips.

Hi guys, here we are!
I have got 2 of the solo kit at the end https://www.led-tech.de/en/SYSTEM250-ZEUS-308-KIT-3500K
Just thought even if they are quite cold, they reach 55°(celsius) when you run them, and i have two running in such a small area so. Anyway dont really need the frame i can just handle with small chains separately.
I have couple of doubt...
Leaving 15cm in between the two boards would be ok? Like this i can place the filter in the middle(since the diameter is 15cm) and i will end with 17 cm on the sides. Or should be better leave more/less space in between?
Wich would be the good distance from canopy top, for veg and flow with this boards? (couldn't find anything about)
Thx!
