You might be right. I've only seen everything out of stock (of everything). And I've only heard that 288s are now being made in US. Other than that, the only conclusion I can draw is that 304s are still made in China, until otherwise claimed not.I think they are only selling the 288 boards now?
If only you had better reading comprehension.No one is upset, I told you, you make adversaries in your head.
Their site has them listed for sale, though out of stock. The only claim thus far is 288 boards are now being made in US. What question do I need to ask?I'm sure a quick message to the guys at HLG will give the answers you seek.
makes sense to me.I'm sure a quick message to the guys at HLG will give the answers you seek.
I also buy parts from China, but they tend to be normal passive components one can make a rig for and test. I would only use it for proof of concept tests, after that I pay the premium to Digikey or RS to make sure I get the real components.
china. all their boards were made in china until they 'switched'. now the claim is 288 boards are made in usa. not 'all our boards' are made in usa, just 288. they've stated as much...Where are the 304s coming from?
Yes, that is true - but the inverse square function is basically useless for making such predictions with multiple emitters and reflective walls.So any way you cut it, you will lose some light intensity as you raise the lights.
Mixing CCT's is a fools game, TBH. You simply end up with an average of the two CCT's - in this instance, 3500K which is a readily available color temp. Stephen from HLG has posted some spectrometer measurements that showed this. The only time it makes sense is if you want to turn off the lower CCT diodes for Veg and then add them in during flower.No. DIY, as in sourcing the stuff myself, experimenting with drivers, configurations, etc.
For example, I ordered boards with 50% 3000k diodes and 50% 4000k diodes... afaik HLG does not offer that.
Why should I be beholden to only what HLG offers me? That's just silly.
Can't go wrong with the Samsung F series.In the end I bought a few F-Series 3000k from Samsung, guys I left few on digikey Lol.
impossible to buy anything to these swindlers of Chinese with their dreams of rich at the expense of swindling others, we could make a thread with the blacklist of alibaba scammers.
We already know that Shenzen Hansion are the biggest scammers since they have cheated several here in the forum and I imagine that there will be others scammed by other Chinese, advance ... something stinks in the thread ....
LOL. I am talking about PCBs like the Samsung/Bridgelux Strips or the QBs and not motherboards.This well designed PCB has less than half the board covered in copper. It has 800 watts being pushed through it 24 hours a day.
Heat spread!Why does it need to be completely covered for diodes to be "well designed"?
What's the difference? They both have components that produce heat and require heat to be distributed away from the board.LOL. I am talking about PCBs like the Samsung/Bridgelux Strips or the QBs and not motherboards.
