I'd like to know the cost and a link on those heat sinks too - they look bulky enough to handle a few watts passively. Also, how does a 50k pot vs 100k pot on a single driver affect dimming? Can you only dim 50%?
DELL Heatsink Shroud Assembly 0J7109 0G9096 0H9073 0P211D 0Y4574 H7058 is what the ad said.
I found 20 of them on Craigslist for 50 bucks. They have 20 watts of LED on each and only get slightly warm. Thats in a 77° room with no air movement.
The 50k pot only dims it down to 50% I couldn't see needing lower than that with these 18s. It dims smoother than if I were to use 100k.
HLG-185H-C700B is the driver.
My lux meter is reading 15,000 lux. Thats about 225 ppfd at 18" Higher numbers than my 400 MH.
It has not been over my plants long but Im seeing new growth every day.
