Jp.the.pope · Feb 16, 2016

Had the parts for MONTHS. Finally have time to knock them out. Few stages.

Stage 1: In progress, finished this week

4 - 36" passive hs with 3 - 3500k cxb3590 36v @ 700ma.

3 are for a 3*3 flower tent. One is for clones.

2 veg lights - 2 - 12" hs / 1 - 24" hs...4 - 5000k 72v CXB3590 @ 1050ma each

The above will be finished this week.

Then I have 10 - five foot hs for 5 - 3500k CXB3590 @ 1050ma --- 50 COBs on this flower set up. This will be suggested this weekend and ready by flower time.

those aren't even the shiny ones. Used polishing attachments and polish for cars. Those are ones I just wiped off after finishing the last set of holes.

Should have shiny and running tonight. Hoping to finish the 36" inches tonight.

Wow I wish I had those tools.

To be honest a very good friend of mine is a car freak. He brought the tools, I bought the beer. Worked out just fine. If you have a sander you might be able to find attachments that fit at an auto part store.

I have a palm sander that's old school I used. It goes back and forth rather than spiral or rotating back and forth. It definitely helped, but nothing like those MIRRORS.

Bonjour
I guess the new ones have an orbital movement!
Thanks to remind me that...I guess I should have some friends who got this stuff!

Haha I can tell you got the hang of the graftek like I did. It's more of a roll the paper away motion while keeping the square flat. Took me a while to get the hang of it.

Chromed heatsinks and a soldering kit? I'm here for the show

You betcha. Tore one figuring it out, but that's why I ordered extra. Cool product though.

Ya I liked it too. No mess. Just kinda hard when a piece of the glue stays on the paper as you're rolling off that you have to roll back to to try and stick back on.

Couple more finished up. About to get started on the veg lights

You using lenses? If so, your wire holes are a bit to far away to be under them. But I doubt you are considering they'd hang off the edges on that 4.8" profile.

@ only 700ma

No lenses. May add them. That mark is a indentation where I was going to drill. Decided to line it up under the ideal holder.

You're lenses will hang off the edges and may even leave openings on top for light to escape.

Finally finishing the CXB3590 build....watch and enjoy
