Yes, but a lot of people with one set of equipment often have the other

Hanging everything up roughly at the moment so I can start final supports and wiring. This is fun, and I can tell it is going to be way too bright.....for humans anyway...hmm I should build a bubble and run CO2

So pissed i stopped getting alerts on your thread. WTF! Missed some cool shit!
I can't figure which ones are the UV.
Seems like from the pic on cutter the boards alternating between the 2 295/310 so but none of that's going on

No, that wouldn't work at all, not nearly enough voltage

I'm planning on using the XLG-100-L-AB, will be slightly underpowered, but i'm hoping it will be ok. I'll run in parallel with fuses for protection, and am hoping the uv works dimmed as well, i'm trying to get all AB drivers except what came on the spider farmers, that way i can set up a remote dimming station

Driver options are slim from what I'm finding.

those are the only two boards that have not arrived yet lol! says they are 280/310 but I could be wrong, either way looking forward to those, but won't need them till the end of flower from what I understand. There are some UV here. The two strips of UVA are kind of obvious I would think. Then there are two strips that each have 1x 280nm and 2x 310nm, which will be running all the time

I use all Mean Well XLG series. Very flexible, dimming either external or built in. TRC electronics, cheapest place I have found so far and good customer service, but buy everything you need at once because their shipping price sucks donkey balls. I still wont buy anywhere else

I still think I need to come up with a better lay out. When this was planned, what was forgot about were the damn ventilations. The one taking air from veg tent could easily be re routed outside the tent and come back in low in the corner I want it, but the exhaust kind of has to have a carbon filter. The tent is 56.5" square, if anybody would like to help come up with the best configuration I wouldn't mind the help. Was thinking maybe the 4 bars of 12 strips of white could go in the middle, and 1 bar of laser beams could each go on the outside?

Once the UV strips get here and get installed, I was thinking of making a false ceiling kind of , but with Mylar, just have the lights showing, and possibly give a little extra reflection. I was thinking it would create a super hot zone above the lights, but I'll just ventilate it. I currently have the drivers for the lights I made mounted on one side, attached to conduit so very easy to move them all outside the tent all at once come summer time, but I figure the rest of the year it is free heating, and I won't have to use a heater as much

Well, the driver is here for the uvb strips, but cutter still shows them in production. I’ll have to see what’s going on. Website said they had 3 in stock, so not sure why mine are in production. Their shipping is super fast though so I’ll have them 2 days after they are done being made, on the other side of the planet
