    120v and 240v questions

    Ok so I have an autopilot 8-light controller that is wired 240v. This controller can be wired in either 120v or 240v. and it has female plugs for your lights that will accept either the 5-15p (standard 120v) male, or the 6-15p (standard 240v) male. I puchased a spydrx+ from my local shop and...

    Minimum ppfd for preventing issues

    Hey guys i was wondering lets say there was an issue with your a/c so you dim your lights down just to keep the 12/12 cycle going, how low can you go before its not even helping you? Like if you had an hlg 550 light or a spydrx+ over a 4x4, could you dim it down to 50w and it would be enough to...

    4 cobs for the corners of a 1000w

    Anyone try doing this? Run 49w on each corner to bring ppfd up? Or maybe if you can angle them on the sides for deeper penetration? I can't afford to switch my entire setup but figure this is good start. Any real results with a setup like this out there?

    above canopy ppfd vs 3-D ppfd

    in theory lets say we had a 4x4 with 16 cobs @ 1050ma giving ~980ppfd ABOVE one tray, pulling a total of ~588w in the other tray lets say we had a 4x4 with 16 cobs @ 700ma giving ~700ppfd and pulling ~392w, but lets say we add two cobs on each side of the tray, giving light to the lower...

    how does dimming work in relation to efficiency and drive current?

    Lets assume over 4sq ft: Setup A: (4) cxb3590 36v 3500k CD on (1) HLG-185h-c1400B dimmed to 50% Setup B: (4) cxb3590 36v 3500k CD on (1) HLG-80h-c700B at 100% power 1. These setups pull approx the same wattage amount from the wall, correct? 2. Is Setup A just as efficient as Setup B...
