Just went to brows the sit and I noticed it appears to be MIA. Anyone know what happened to http://www.castle-marijuana-seeds.com/

So I am trying to pick out some 450ma-500ma constant current Drivers for (4) Vero 13's. Open frame or closed frame is fine, I'm not picky. If looks like the voltage has to be about 32.5v at 500ma Thanks for any help.

Yea I've been watching some videos. I instantly started to regret having not done this 8 years ago. I had no idea it was so easy.

I have had so many issues with pests and mold using soil. I am looking for a fresh start with everything NEW. I made many upgrades including Supra's LED's, amazing! I had always intended to go to hydroponics when I was ready with more experience. This would be the best time for me to begin...

Thanks Green, Checked Voltage on each (when I close my eyes I am seeing spots now, damn they're bright!) and it's identical, holding at 32v. Seems perfect thx for the help man.

I checked the current 1.3a total, about 610ma to each unit in parallel.

Ok, I think what happened is the multimeter must have been picking up current from surrounding wires, ac or something interfering. I checked again in Parallel just for closure and it is holding at 32v. Because of the way I have it wired current will be more difficult to check. So Parallel is not...

Yea it doesn't really make sense to me either. I'm not an expert but this isn't completely forign to me either. In parallel, it was putting out a lot of heat. In just under 45 seconds the small heatsink was already warm. The driver is not rated to output over 38v +/-5%, so I don't know what the...

yea it was one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/50-W-Watt-High-Power-LED-Driver-AC90V-265V-50-60HZ-Waterproof-/181578939219?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a46f2bb53 Tried to run it in series, no luck. I think I need to do some more reading. I would like to run them about half current 700ma...

Thanks, I didn't realize parallel was not recommended. I read the info on bridgelux's website and I am going to try Series wiring. I think that's what I was looking for >< whoops glad i didn't keep them on long at all.

I am just a beginner in this venture of electrical wiring, hopefully you can clear me up on wth is wrong, if anything. So I bought a driver with an output of DC 25-38v and 1.25a I wired 2 Cool White Vero 13's in parallel expecting to cut the current in half. I tested the total voltage with the...

I had to post this. Anyone who's read Supra's guides on DIY LED Lighting will appreciate this. So I was looking on the Homedepot site looking at the a discontinued 18/2 AWG Alarm wire. I scrolled down looking to see if maybe it listed a store with a discounted supply or something and I got to...

Thanks for the help guys, especially supra; I feel like I am being a real pain in the ass with all my questions. I've decided to compromise with a 1.5a for the one Vero18 chip. In some short time I can just get another chip and run both in series on that driver @ 750ma each.

Well I ordered a Bridgelux Vero 18 3000K BXRC-30E4000-F-03 I want to run it at around 1.8a - 2.0a for now. Can anyone list me a couple of options on drivers. The main focus is cheap, open frame is completely fine. I spent hours trying to figure out how to find a specific driver in this range...

I really tried to answer this myself before posting but god dammit this is difficult information to obtain. So if i want to use the Vero 18 at about 2.0a or slightly less if need be, what driver options do I have? Open frame is fine if it's cheaper. Someone should help those manufacturer's...
