7.984" profile from HSUSA, 32" long. About 2" thick including the fan on top.
I ain't heard that "HSUSA" in a while lol
I use mostly arctic active heatsinks as the big sinks are as rare as hens teeth in these parts.
The blues n reds fill in the spectrum real nice I'd imagine.
Are the wee ones glued on?
Neat build.
:cool:

I feel like it's a decent mix, we'll see what the yield looks like. No actual "blues" though, the monos that look blue are actually UVA. Those 5000k COBs do have a lot of blue goin on though....

The monos are stuck on with Berquist thermal pads; think paper thin double-sided tape. They work great, no issues so far. RapidLED has them as well as the diodes.

Awesome man, how's the spread? Total consumption?
Total consumption is just over 200 watts. Spread with the lens is almost the same as without the lens due to the large LES, however the lens is there to protect the cobs, prevent the possibility of being zapped and the light is relatively water proof with it.

Just to clarify for anyone interested , the hexagonal contacts at the bottom of the HLG drivers do a pretty good job on earthing a frame. I measured resistance between frame and ground at multiple locations with a multi-meter and resistance measured 0 ohms which obviously means its pretty low. Under fault conditions the resistance would be a little higher compared to using a 9v multi-meter.

I scored on a storage locker filled with these led strips attatched to a aluminum strip. So i took 15 of rhem and screwed them tight against each other making a panel 42"×34" i dont know anything about these so dont know the wattage but i do know i made 2 panels and hung them in a 4x8 tent hooked them up to a
Mean Well RSP-1500-48 AC to DC Power Supply Single Output 48 Volt 32 Amp 1.536kw for
only 3 weeks all switched to 12/12 i was excited to see if they flowered as nice as they vegged and they exceeded my idea of what i thought they would do. I was shocked because i swore by hps lights i never wanted led lights until i saw the dense smelly buds that these led lights produced now its all i will use but inhave tons of them and tons of the power supplies so i need to sell some but first can anyone tell me what exactly i have here.

COB chip on board. One of the latest led technologies available on the market. Ive never seen anything like what you have in the last pic. But all the other pics the meanwell drivers are top notch. Your weeds are looking mighty fine tho!
