    SI-B8V521560WW Samsung F Series - How to drive for most efficiency in small 2.25*1.5ft space.

    Waiting on some aluminium to come through and I can get building, got some Migro 4's to put em up against on the PAR tests. Just need some wago's/wire and a potentiometer for remote dimming. Debating what colour spectrum to throw on there as it seems the migro are pretty 4k heavy. Throw your...

    SI-B8V521560WW Samsung F Series - How to drive for most efficiency in small 2.25*1.5ft space.

    I bloody hope so :D. Mouser wont sell them to personal customers either it appears due to some licence agreements. All strips arrived and i've had a little play today, the Bridgelux were first on the table with my bench PSU and all were pretty impressive but the 3000k definitely seemed "dimmer"...

    SI-B8V521560WW Samsung F Series - How to drive for most efficiency in small 2.25*1.5ft space.

    The 240 driver is but being as though its constant current and I can trim the current down I figured i'd be able to run closer to 120w or so. Looking at the coco for cannabis site me running 400w HPS in that space is almost double recommended wattage per square foot or so, I do wonder if over...

    SI-B8V521560WW Samsung F Series - How to drive for most efficiency in small 2.25*1.5ft space.

    UK here @Moflow . I think with the more panels its probably best to go CV and parallel. I know the A drivers apparently can push more power than they are stated for. I guess the next thing I really need to determine safe distances and power is an affordable PAR meter and probably a watt meter. I...

    SI-B8V521560WW Samsung F Series - How to drive for most efficiency in small 2.25*1.5ft space.

    Ok maybe someone can let me know if I made a mistake or a grave error :'). I just ordered HLG-240H-C1050AB (hoping I can limit current to 700mA via internal POT and then external dim via 100k potentiometer for different stages. I couldn't find a CC Mean Well HLG-320H-C1050AB in stock anywhere...

    SI-B8V521560WW Samsung F Series - How to drive for most efficiency in small 2.25*1.5ft space.

    Also I tend to hit around 9-10oz in my little space (hydro NFT) with either a 250 or 400w but the quality of buds under the 400w is superior. Hoping for similar to the 400w in terms of bud quality/density and hopefully a similar yield although i'd be happy with 7-8. Also have a friend who is...

    SI-B8V521560WW Samsung F Series - How to drive for most efficiency in small 2.25*1.5ft space.

    Looks great Moflow and really appreciate the reply! I was just trying to figure out what drivers I should use. How is the dimming achieved at the driver? by dropping voltage or current? I am unsure whether to go constant voltage or constant current and series/parallel. What spectrum is that out...

    SI-B8V521560WW Samsung F Series - How to drive for most efficiency in small 2.25*1.5ft space.

    Hi guys, So I ended up in a wormhole, I ended up ordering a few SI-B8V521560WW 3000K strips (10 :'), way more than needed). I'd like to have them dimmable and be able to get them as close to the canopy as possible. What current/voltage would generate the most efficiency on these? I'm thinking I...

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    Oh its been some years since I thought about building LED's at the time it was all about cree led's and royal blues from marine suppliers... how have things moved on? I keep seeing mention of samsung being the ones to be using these days? I only do small areas so smaller diodes with a larger...

    Long time since we chatted, I wondered how LED's had progressed as you were always at the top of the game with working out efficiency etc :D. I never did build a panel but bought a load of drivers and PSU's :').

    Quad CXA3070 with Hurkel & Sunshine Daydream

    Just seen the thread, need to go back and checkout the panel details but that looks like a pretty good SD to me. :). Gotta run one again next time, I miss the high and change of flavor around here hehe. Good work!

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    Are cobs the future now SupraSPL? Might finally have some money to put towards a project I was thinking about for a long time. But if your using cobs now perhaps I should just go for them :D

    DiY LED - Cree XPE XTE XML2 - Luxeon ES - Oslon SSL

    Awesome work again SupraSPL. I've been scouring posts and trying to locate various LED's but now i'm left with a huge list and wondering wtf to do :D. My brain hurts at the moment haha. I don't suppose we can post links on here can we? I'd like to collate the information i've gathered somewhere...

    DIY LED grow lights experiences

    Wow... 27 pages later, great read... I'm thinking its time I build my own custom LED now and believe me this is not the first thread i've gone through, I think I found you guys in a few corners of the web while I caught up over the past year of progress. I've been tempted by a few panels (Grow...
