REALSTYLES New CXA/2 Studio Build

[testiclees]

Instead of WAGO's I make connectors from spades and lugs. Works great for me and reusable too. Similar to what SupraSPL does. I get them from most hardware stores real cheap and they are unnoticeable . I use multi connectors for my power connections but those are not reusable ones. peace

damn where is Supra? Hope things are going well for him

those new small wagos that are clear are even better than the gray/orange ones & they have the same rating but are 1/2 the size
the clear part makes it so you can see the connection & if it's wire is correctly seated

While waiting for my parts I decided to make another light a CXB3590 3000k 36v 90 CRI but this time I made the frame 18"x36". The 2" difference makes it fit better when you have 2 in a 4x4 area and this one will have dimmers

Compared to 3500k there is more vegetative related energy(Blue spectrum) and less flowering related energy(red spectrum). More vegetative energy typically promotes more root development and more flowering energy promotes more fruit/flower development.

5600K is the accepted, film industry, standard for a "Clear sky" day light at noon. The film industry uses the higher correlated color temperatures for "Overcast" daylight. I can't say exactly why the film industry standards are the way they are.

well that's nice but we aint making movies,

 

[REALSTYLES]

well that's nice but we aint making movies,

But the far red because of the high CRI and oh yeah they are the top bin hahahaha and making a 3000k 90 CRI light as well and it will be 500w dimmable.

here Ya go this is a single (connects 2 wires ) there are up to 4 maybe more in this line
221 is the model line
less than 1/2 the size , the lever works better than the gray/orange , the contact area is clear so one can see the connection
& best of all they are squared off not rounded like the bigger ones
same rating as the big ones as well

Realstyles : Are those studio cobs , you are using on this build , cheaper than a 3500K 3590 that is more commonly used ?

The same price if you can find them but Digikey and Mouser probably a lot more

So did you finish that build, and if so, what was the total cost?

 

[Stephenj37826]

I've got a maximizer built with cxa2 studio 3590 3200k top bin. We will soon see....
