I am going to rebuild this thing after putting together a DIY with 3K and 5K CREE CXA 3070's but first I have a few questions.
1) Can a 42V 1.5@ power supply run the CXA 3070 (Vf 36-42 from what I understand) and a 5v cooling fan if they are hooked in series without adverse impact on the LED array?
2) For the rebuild I am considering smaller led Arrays and pulling 2 of the 4 power supplies out of the Roleadro and using them for far red/IR and UV supplements, however I am having trouble finding what LED arrays emmit those non-visible light spectra that are compatible with the application.
Roleadro power supplies are 28-36V @ 1.2amps. Bear with me I am new to this site and will figure out how to upload pics soon.
3) Would like to do passive cooling on the supplemental parts and saw on one of the posts here a black anodized cylindrical heatsink that was probably 3 in dia. by 4 or 5 in tall. Would this work for say a 28v array (~33W) and again any insight on a source?
Avoiding any discussion of the efficacy of the Roleadro light other than it is a light source that emits photons or a reasonable facsimile there of. It does not produce the the said 400 Watts unless they have figured out a way for the led's to do cold fusion as it draws less than 200 Watts from the wall. I have taken some different white balance photos and the histograms look interesting but I need to digest them a bit before making any comments.
