The Samsung L04 is pretty cheap at around $11 each. They need approx 24V each; so to drive two you'd need 48V from the driver. It depends how hard you want to run them, as to which driver to choose, but Meanwell LPC-60-1050 is a pretty nice fit. This driver is not dimmable tho. In fact most of the drivers around this size are not dimmable. Probably for sidelighting that will not be an issue tho.

I'm now set on running the inFlux 01.

I want to run 5 of these on a Meanwell LPC-60-1050-48a.

Does this look good? Should work right?

Hey guys, I've got a grow planned in a wardrobe that is only 33" vertically (85cm) and I'm debating between running a traditional overhead light (possibly 15-20 x vero10 at 10w each), or using some of these hardstrips and either mounting them vertically, in the corners, or perhaps two rows horizontally on the 4 walls at around the height that the scrog will be... any ideas as to specifically which strips to use and how many? And optimal mounting? The one thing that I'm apprehensive about running the strips vertically is the penetration... having an traditional overhead light, I'd be able to lower it to within 4-5" of the scrog, however, with the vertical lights I'd have them fixed to the sides of the wardrobe... any thoughts from you guys? Cheers...Wardrobe.jpg

Lose some t-shirts and use the 8' ceilings man. Or even eliminate one of those shelves and hang a cob or 2 in there.

As for the strips I mounted 4 of them to 80/20 extrusion with thermal paste on the backside of them with kapton tape along the edges and it is doibg quite well. Paste is sort of nice to bridge the gap and also helps hold them in place.

Would love to lose all the clothing space and just bomb out the whole wardrobe, but this has gotta be a stealth build. So I'm planning to remove the front of the draws and attach them to a sheet of plywood that will be held on by magnets so the whole front of the "cab" pulls off, but looks like a normal set of draws from the outside.

What about just attaching several strips to an aluminium baking sheet (I've seen others use this concept) and building a standard overhead light that could hopefully be run very close to the scrog... basically, a knockoff of the NextLight (which I'd buy if it was more affordable).

@welight : Would you be willing to build me a light using your Cutter-ZGE-280-S strips? I'm thinking 4-5 strips spread out to give as even canopy coverage as possible... I have 3.3sqft and want 50w/sqft. If you'd be interested, let me know and I'll email you to discuss a price. Thanks.

2 COB's at 50 watts each on dimmable driver. Mount the COB's and heat sink on the top side of the shelf and use a hole saw slightly smaller than a pinned heat sink.

Perfect idea! The heatsinks won't be obvious and take most of the heat away from the space. The heatsinks will rest on the shelf with just the cob itself shining below. 2 1212 from cob kits would do the trick 15.75 each with holder and all you would need is a small driver.

Put a bunch of the hard strips on the ceiling and maybe a few vertically for good measure. You will be able to get the plants really close and take advantage of every bit of vertical space. What are the other dimensions?

Edit: my bad, I just saw u listed dimensions...

So you can easily fit the Samsung L09 etc at 22" in that space. I have them on heatsink USA extruded sinks.

anyone know how to release a wire from the samsung poke-in connector? I ran some tests on some new M282C strips and got the wire stuck in there good :)
