Sol-Skin, let the journey begin...

I think the 3rd channel of 45 volts is to much photo red (660nm) when i look at your spectrum half would be enough . So if you split that to 2 channels that would be cool and then you can have the second half for blue or something.

I dont think you need a 45v channel for far red (730mm) not even half of it just 3-5 % of the effect of the whole board. far red in the board would be nice since when you add it outside if you use a board like the one you sell with 3 leds on it it will end up on the side and dont get a even spread. if you use single leds you put them around the panel and you need a few and have to modify your mountings for it.... all in one would be great ;) what would you need 4-8 cree xpe in there to get 3-5 %?
Your point is well taken and if fact if you read my data on http://www.cutter.com.au/products.php?cat=Sol-Skin we call that SRM(Spectral Ratio Mix)in other words we could do an XQE Channel with a ratio of Royal Blue/660 or any colour in the XQE footprint ie 5:1 660/450 etc. The alternate model we considered when designing the XQE channel was that the new XD16 led from Cree in the 264 lumens/mm will fit this footprint and we could then run a 5630 channel in deep red and super hi efficient white XD16 on the XQE channel, lots of options. Your right 45V of Far red is too much so would make sense to slot a 6 up XPE 280mm XPE Far Red between each Sol skin on a 4th channel for the complete spectral picture

Would 700ma be the max current for driving a SOL-SKIN board (all 3 channels) with NO Heatsink:confused:
Thx VG
We ran at 1050 with boards at 47-48C, so 700ma I believe you will require no heatsink, at the very minimum mounting on a flat ali sheet makes sense as you will need something with holes to be able to hang the boards and 1mm plate will keep the profile super low

slipped and ordered the full spectrum deep red bad boy...i need help.

I'll diary it here in a 3x3, at a tops 160w wont i need two?

cheers bro (:
nice one, thanks for your support you are officially number 1 on the FS boards so will love you see how your diary rolls, 1 board at 1050ma will run you around 160 watts, if your running the FS on two channel then you have the option to tie the 2 channels together so you can use a single driver at 108v or parallel the strings with a 2amp driver

Ok. This is $187 US. How many are needed to match 1000 watt HPS. I assume I need a driver and frame? How is shipping from OZ (AU) to the States?
same math as other leds. depends how much you want to spend and how hard you want to drive them. just treat the board like 7 smaller cobs/3-4 larger cobs for your calculation purposes

Would be intressting to see what kind of cooling is needed to push channel 1 and 2 to 1400mA :)

do you have a link to a datasheet for xd16 leds? cant find them on your site

any suggestions on how to mount these boards?

yes will will be testing at 1400ma so will let you know. XD16 is not quite released yet but cree have prelim data here

channels 1 and 2 at 1400ma with the reds at 1050ma brings the board to 196.2 watts and would require minimum a 2-3 mm alum sheet or heatsink, but sheeet its bright, leds operating at 93ma ea which is well within the Samsung max rating of 200ma each

Hi Mark!
What brand do the full spectrum 5630 chip's have?
And do you consider also offering full spectrum CC strips?
72pcs on a 2ft. PCB like Samsungs F-Series strips(8S9P) just with these full spectrums would surely be a fine addition to many strip users.:cool:

I second info/datasheets on those full spectrum phospor chips and also fullspectrum on strips FTW.
Can you do a cheapo board with with say 4000k plus fullspectrum and no 660 monos?
Also will you have any high cri phospors?
