Hey everyone,
Right now I'm only growing vegetables; arugula, lettuce, spinach, carrots, some beets, kale. So this build is just a fun hobby for me until I move back out west.
I have two COB light fixtures using the 5.886 heatsinks from HSUSA, each 18" with three CXB3590s (5 3500k and 1 6500k total) on each running at 1.05a in an area about ~8 square feet. The COB DIY build was fun and I decided to tinker further so I grabbed four Samsung LT-M282C_G2 strips at 5000k that I'll be adding to the heatsinks when the optics come in next week, one one each side of the COBs.
Because i've decided to tinker even further I now have 24 Diodes coming my way. I grabbed four 1" pieces of the 8.460" slotted heatsinks from HSU and i plan on putting 6 on each using the solderless BJB holders. The only thing I'm not to sure about is where to place the diodes. My original thought was to have them running perpendicular to the COBs filling in the center area, but now I wonder if having them run parallel to the other lights with one centered on each side of the heatsinks will give a better spread. I can't post a diagram yet.
Also last thing, I'll be running all the diodes and strips at 350ma.
Thanks guys
