    Let's take this shitty led apart and let's design a better one!

    You are right, and they combine all drivers together, if one orb failed, those 700mA will spread to the rest orbs.

    Those white substances are just for convenient connection just like a computer electronics connection, but protector IMO.

    Let's take this shitty led apart and let's design a better one!

    Yes, there is no doubt that the driver is definitely a constant current one, but it outputs total 1.41A, not 700mA. And there is another point at the electrics connection tech. 1. parallel connection- the input current will be double but the input voltage will not change (say:two orbs, each one...

    Let's take this shitty led apart and let's design a better one!

    The modules definitely should have all been burnt, there were still two of them remain, you have been lucky enough. Each Apollo driver runs two modules and all drivers are connected as a series, this is why the Cidly claims- if one driver gets burnt, the other drivers will continue running the...

    Apollo 6 / Photon 90 - A look inside and looking for alternatives ways of cooling

    So, based on the Cidly calculating function posted by the other member at his thread, the actual power of your lamp should be: Red LEDs 64x2.6x0.7=116.48W, Blue and UV LEDs 22x3.8x0.7=58.52W, IR LEDs 4x1.7x0.7=4.76W, total 116.48+58.52+4.76=197.76W. Are you running the lamp at 220V input please...

    Apollo 6 / Photon 90 - A look inside and looking for alternatives ways of cooling

    I have question,the label says: R:B:IR:UV=54:18:4:4, so total 80pcs LEDs. But isn't the Apollo 6 built with 90pcs LEDs? What and where are the other LEDs?

    Chinese 288x3W LED grow lamp came with broken LEDs

    Yes, I learnt something from this "GREAT" lesson. If i can finish my journal, i can save enough money to get a high quality LED for my next grow.

    Chinese 288x3W LED grow lamp came with broken LEDs

    I finished my clones under this crappy lamp during the weekend after having learnt there is no any chance to get their warranty. 25x7gallon square pots. 8 blue berries, 10 pineapples(the two row at the middle of the room), 7 snowstorms from three different mother plants. Tem 81 degree, RH...

    Apollo 6 / Photon 90 - A look inside and looking for alternatives ways of cooling

    Ya, it seems that the Apollo is really a modular design lamp, but i personally think there is a better way to design a better housing. Now, based on your work, i can imagine if a driver or fan broken in the future, you will have to disassemble the whole lamp from the surface then to the...

    blackstar 240 how many plants can it grow to full maturity?

    I've just finished 25 clones under an unsatisfied Chinese 288x3W, actual draw at about 540W, it definitely cannot cover all of the plants.

    Chinese 288x3W LED grow lamp came with broken LEDs

    There is no doubt that they have really denied their warranty. He offered me two options, but there is one i should accept: 1, if i return the lamp to China, i will have to pay 150 dollars at shipping and probably the same cost at re-sending, BECAUSE I am NOT a distributor as he said. 2, if i...

    Apollo Series LED panels from Cidly

    Never interested in any Ebay sellers right now, especially those HongKong sellers. I am doubt about their warranty. My another concern is there are too many copy Apollos, just likes Mr.Sing Lee at Cidly posts at his blog..

    Chinese 288x3W LED grow lamp came with broken LEDs

    Ya, i'm definitely going to get some money back if they don't fulfill their warranty. As my mother plants are really ready for cloning and i really need LEDs but with lack of bucks....That's the main reason why I was going to buy a cheaper lamp, i did expect it would run at least one journal.

    Chinese 288x3W LED grow lamp came with broken LEDs

    Very appreciated to your useful link,Eraserhead. If they don't cover the warranty, i may have to buy some Orange LEDs from there. Now I am running it and will keep it running until tonight to see what this crap will do.

    Chinese 288x3W LED grow lamp came with broken LEDs

    Hi, Eraserhead. I did turn the lamp on and check it with the configuration. He replied me and confirmed that those two 610nm orange LEDs are really broken, please have a look at the picture he cycled those two LEDs, it is easily to distinguish the difference between each LEDs. Just sent another...

    Chinese 288x3W LED grow lamp came with broken LEDs

    Now, He did reply my email and confirmed those LEDs are 6 IR and 2 orange, but what he asked me to do is that I should run the lamp until tomorrow morning to see what will happen, he also said they had never got such problem before, for this lamp is built with 24 units LEDs per series,(total 12...
