Well I got all my holes drilled and tapped I just gotta sand the sinks with 1000 grit wet/dry so I can get the lite scratches from the drill press.

Look at the difference my 412w panel 3500K dominate the other 2 mars

Do you prefer the purple or white lights, for lookses?

 

[REALSTYLES]

I can't wait to test these bad boys. I have 10 days to harvest. I guess I'll germinate my White Lady OG, White Dragon, Blue Kripple, Cluster Bomb and Liberty Haze seeds. I'm gonna do 2 of each.

The plants like them and it looks more natural and not like a disco lol.

 

[REALSTYLES]

Tested at 413watts and the temperature was 37C that's human body temperature. Tests were done with a Kill A Watt meter and a Ryobi Infrared Thermometer.

It's 88F no A/C just an open window lol and it's the same temp in my apartment lol. Summer I will use my 14000 btu portable Soleus Air A/C and today is 86F outside lol.

Gotcha, well it will be easy for you to dim if you want during the summer heat waves.

I got the a versions total newb mistake but will be buying version B the next go round.

 

[SupraSPL]

You can still dim them, just have to pull the rubber plug on the front and there is a little trim pot in there.

 

[REALSTYLES]

I'm such a stoner I forgot to say Alibaba.com is not for just Chinsese importers but the world.

Does the B version also have an internal pot? I've never really cared for having external dimming, although it might be more useful for household LED projects where using a screw driver to dim the diner room table lights might seem a bit awkward.

I can't think of many times I'd want to change the brightness of a given setup frequently enough to warrant one knob to rule them all.

I forgot about that. I smoked some of my new stuff. I had a plant finish up a week early and I dried it(5 days) and it's been in the jar for 3 days now.

 

[GetThatPoison]

recieved them today. 1 had dirt? on it. What should I do, besides waiting response from supplier. @SupraSPL do you think this will cause issues, like cause a fire? thanks
