Sorry, it's UK ebay, here's the link
You make a good point about the heat sink. I'm going to go have a look at that Arctic Sun light.
Thanks.

Good, I'm glad to hear its going well. There isn't much info out there from normal people using them for grows. Is that because they're so new? being a newb i dont know how long they've been out. I cant wait till the end of january when I can do some shopping
I think I'll have to order my light from the states as you suggested a few pages back

hmm im a machinist its not hard at all to make a heat sink all i would have to do is ground a machined finned piece of billet to the hottest part of the led and it would still have the fans and a heat sink... i wonder if that would void warranty lol maybe i can get lighthouse to buy my heatsinks if i decide to slap some together lol. Oh boy i got a project now rofl. Oh so blown rambling hahahaha i love LED herbs shit has me LIFTED right now i can barely spell. Good ol sourdxssh

So do the Arcyic Sun lights, plus heat sink tech. Seems like a good added feature, but Blackstars still can't be beat for the money.

Yeah, I think most people are put off by the low wattage and considerable price. I know I was, but the more I studied, the more I understood it was just what I needed. I'm glad I took the chance, but I don't blame the doubters.Good, I'm glad to hear its going well. There isn't much info out there from normal people using them for grows.

Did you see the Kessil giveaway promo? You might win one, if you can enter from across the puddle.

yeah and that shit was pricey i have heard of those step up transisters. I wonder if i could get some and wire them into my black star maybe increase the life a little bit first i have to find out if they truly are what those guys say they are and what they do. Excess of spectrums on their light just like the AN led. Looked bright as hell though.

urf my new bulb comes in today induction power in the desk. God damn shit is goin nuts in there right now lol mad growth the last couple days for some reason i think it was the light feeding i gave them. i posted a picture update in my thread
I'm curious to know if anyone active in this thread is using growledhydro Spectra lights? Their website is really outdated (their new 2011 models look quite different from their website models) but I've seen some amazing stuff using their lights over at 420magazine with Irishboy and some others.

ahhhhh that was a better picture i got zoomed in on it the blackstar has the same thing only its not finned =( its ok though it doesnt run that hot anyways. In the link that viagro posted he said it was sealed with silicon to the back, didnt make sense to me i thought it would be something like they run on most heat sinks take for example your computer processor that goo shit u put on it when installing it transfers heat. Im thinking about maybe after i get another one taking apart the one i have and machining a finned heat sink like that out of billet aluminum and reatatching it with the heat transfering adhesive. That is if i decide to get another black star. I probably will but it will probably be a 600. Kessils would cost too much for me to run on my larger table for the coverage they offer in comparison with teh blackstar 600 and my 240w is kickin so much ass over that table i just dont see the point in trying to fix whats not broke. Now my smaller table that is exactly 2x2 is going to get a single kessil as soon as i get the cash. Ill probably us the kessil and with supplement cfl for veg or induction if i feel like spending the $$$ as i already have a gang of cfl's over the table right now. Where are you ups man...
On a sadder note please say a prayer for my friend his wife passed from cancer today and left him with his son and daughter and he's havin a rough time with it. Im worried about him he's had a rough enough life as it is and hes an older guy and he doesnt need this kind of thing right now. Thank you guys.

My condolences to your friend, KaptK. Rough stuff.
Sort of puts into perspective our little problems around here.
