Bloody took a week to get the strips, but they are here, all set up :D When I get the cash I will buy a meanwell driver and run them at 1050ma, but for now, its just the 2 x 60w 700ma Mars Hydro drivers being utilised ;) Ive attached a picture to show how i've raised the drivers off the main...

that looks a bit better mate ;) im still bloody waiting on my delivery... Fedex shipping says yesterday, now it says today, but its still in sydney.. im up qld way, so i reckon tomorrow now

hard to explain.... strips turn up tuesday so should have a pic up tues night ;)

So my veg light is being upgraded to get better coverage in my veg tent (80x80x160cm) ... Making up this 60cm x 60cm frame to have another 4 strips... So thats 8 strips total @700ma for my veg tent :D @graying.geek how did you measure out your spread? im useless at maths lol I want to set them...

cool :) now... just gotta decide on drivers.... and... if i get the 560mm strips, they will run at about 22v right...? will i still get close to 50w/sqft running less voltage than the big strips? (basically i want 2, 2x3 fixtures with 10-12 strips each so it can be broken into 2 for transport)

orrrr am i totally loosing it and should be going with 6 cobs? my goal is to run a low heat fixture in the end.... would 6 cobs put off more heat than 10-12 of these babies?

Im still not settled on the drivers yet and really only want to pull around 400w max, so might settle for some 240's or even 185's.... Maybe thinking of using 2 x CV drivers even (2 x HLG-240H-24B), as im not electrician and want to keep things a bit safer for myself. Or would I be better off...

Is this for 6 or 12 strips? Uh oh, am I building a light not worth shit now? Or what if I use 24 x 560mm strips? (its what I originally wanted to do, to make it easy to break down and transport) (Plus, having 1120mm strips sent to Australia, could spell broken strips, sorta still leaning towards...

does we know if there are optics for these babies?

No actually, stoner here took them, but didnt upload the finished product :P Here we are.... Its an old 4 bulb T5 fixture that I utilised :) Oh and of course some little babies soaking up them photons... Jillybean, GG4 x Querkle, Double Affie, Brazil Amazonia, Brother Grimm C99 and some...

thanks stoners :)
