@mypassion you can buy green led light bulbs at Home Depot. The are very bright for a 9 watt bulb.
I wanna use a led that I have and make it full cxb3590. I was thinking to run 2 times 4 cxb on MW1400 and find a green one to place it in the middle (9 clusters) but I will do 4+driver and 5+driver. I will try to build a in line hood for it, but it's a future future x5 project. We don't have home depot. Most consumables I can find, but the top tech stuff not so much.

@mypassion when I have to work in my room at 'lights out', I always try to avoid shining the light directly at the plants. I wouldn't want that intense of a green light directly on my plants when the lights are out, maybe 4 diodes on stars in each corner, but that will be pretty bright also.

I am just putting this out there... Under the section, "Thermal Interface Material." Do you have stock of Arctic thermal pads for the CLU 048 diode?

Personally speaking, I realize we can use the Arctic thermal pads for the CLU 058 diode with the CLU 048 diode if we cut some of the excess off.

Hey. I'm wanting to run 8 cxb3590s at 36v and 1400mA in a 4x4. Should I use pin heat sinks, or the 5.886" profile from HS USA?

@ 50W per cob any of the heatsinks on our site would be fine.

as far as the 5.886 HSUSA, youd need 3" of heatsink per cob if actively cooled ($5 per), or 10" per cob passive ($17 per)

the pinfins would outperform the hsusa in passive, but youd need a frame for them, whereas the hsusa is a frame (but you have to tap it! -nothing's free huh!)

Thanks sir. If I will ever need it I will buy a bulb or better night vision :)

yes we will see. im guessing these new crees will perform somewhere between the $42 citi 1825s and the $60 3618s, so its really all about the price... they need to be $45 or less to be competitive with current offerings
You gonna offer any 3618's?
