Today:Looks like these 96 elites/elite 360s work in flower, too...

Day 30 from seed pop - 288 vs 96 smackdown: Mothers (topped earlier at 5th true node, all stem fan leaves removed), 1/4+” diam laterals get cut in next few days:96 elites work great for propagation: 2x3, single 96,124w, 350 ppfd, 24/0.
Day 23 from seed pop, all clone mothers have at least 6 true nodes and 4 pairs laterals, except more recently popped trainwrecks and bottom left original glue.

3rd day acclimating to uva-b under single 24” 24w t-5 arcadia reptile light in reflector fixture, getting 50-60 uW/sq cm uvb at 12” for 15 min begin/15 min end of day.
Probably clone in 7-10 days for 288 vs 96 flowering smackdown.
@diyled did i miss it? did you post your results somewhere for 4 in a 4x4 at 600?Im going to do 2 on a hlg-320h-54a and 4 on a 600h-54 at various wattages. Be interesting to see if there's any difference in our results.
Bound to happen testing high wattage.When checking temp/rh in clone tent, saw this reflecting off of dome:

So, i took a pic of the 96 and saw this:

2 separate lights, failing in same spot, not a good sign...
@Stephenj37826 and others, you seeing this elsewhere?
Odd.... You are the lucky winner of the first 2 failures lol. We will get you some new units. Email us at [email protected]When checking temp/rh in clone tent, saw this reflecting off of dome:

Nothing to do with high wattage!Bound to happen testing high wattage.
Is there any info stating how far one should go? Or maybe you guys are figuring that out now.?.
Plants are reacting great to mine I'm glad to see.
I'll keep an eye out too but I doubt it will happen staying at the factory set draw.
Glad to hear you have not heard of this failure before. This was part of that delayed initial batch, so maybe it’s a bad batch or just outliers in the batch.Odd.... You are the lucky winner of the first 2 failures lol. We will get you some new units. Email us at [email protected]
It really isn't a bad sign honestly. 80% of SMT problems come from the stencil printer. Those 2 failing in the same row indicates to me not enough solder (probably a clogged aperture) . These are made in the US for us. Our new line which is running has solder paste inspection after each print. Generally spi isn't necessary for leds. I'm not 100% what our contract manufacturer is using. We are using type 4 paste which is overkill for led.
Day 32 from seed pop: Made 6 x 4cuts/plant yesterday - original glue (3), jack herer (2), green crack (1). Looks like they survived the first 24hrs.Day 30 from seed pop - 288 vs 96 smackdown: Mothers (topped earlier at 5th true node, all stem fan leaves removed), 1/4+” diam laterals get cut in next few days:

That yuge blue peak makes these 96s fantastic for propagation and veg.
Go back and read the thread, contains mapping info for 1 to 6 96s at various heights and wattages.Sorry for showing up late and for my ignorance on everything led but I need some help. If I wanted to run two of the 96’s in a 2x4 tent with active cooling on top of heat sinks and would like to run these as powerful (bright)as possible, which driver do you guys recommend? I am very big believer in putting as much light in small places as I can get away with. I would like to run both at 200watt output or maybe 3 lights at total of at least 400 watts in the tent. Thank you for your help
Read the thread sorry but I never saw or understood the answer as to which driver would be best for my situation. I will go back and look once again, appreciate your kindnessGo back and read the thread, contains mapping info for 1 to 6 96s at various heights and wattages.
You’ll find two 96s is plenty for a 2x4...running above ~1000ppfd, is not just a waste, it will damage your plants.
Just to keep things honest, you seemed to be asking about how many lights at what wattage...which seems you hadn’t already read about here...Read the thread sorry but I never saw or understood the answer as to which driver would be best for my situation.

in a 2x4 tent you only need ~280-300w so you could get one hlg96e and a 240h-54 and call it a day. you dont need to run it any hotter. but if you want to get a 320h-54.Sorry for showing up late and for my ignorance on everything led but I need some help.

Or, just read here:in a 2x4 tent you only need ~280-300w so you could get one hlg96e and a 240h-54 and call it a day. you dont need to run it any hotter. but if you want to get a 320h-54.
same driver if you want 2 boards in parallel, hlg240h-54a, or 320h-54 for hotter
pretty much any 54v contant voltage driver will power just about any number of these boards.
they are incredibly versatile.
