new 1000w led strip project

I'd also add that the OP should not beat himself up over trying to find covers for the LED strips unless he's going to be drenching them in fluids. Most of the diodes we work with are already covered in a silicone protective barrier that can be cleaned with iso alcohol. A drop or occasional splash will be tolerable.

i just waiting to receiv my inventronics drivers and my heatsinks from https://www.stevesleds.com/HD-Heatsink_p_334.html

i also wanna monitoring that via illumi meshtek controler

Mark riley from cutter did amazing video on instagram, you can manage 4 different spectrum from 4 different channel with only ONE driver amazing!

was a long road to find the right solution to cool down passivly the amazing solstrip from cutter that can go up to 120w each
heatsink from STEVELED are awesome , they will handle 120/130w of led.

cant wait to see on action the nichia 757f1v3 2000@ and 5000k 97 cri on action , the cree xpe 660 and the cree xd16 @3500k ( i cant imagine the penetration of theses babyz: they are so small , but can goes to 6w@2amp each )

will make some pictures of the stuff i will make with 80/20 profiles as soon as i receiv the driver/heatsinks
cheers

Have you check out the Vesta's. Its not a high lm/watt but that's mainly for your eyes and not plants anyway.

yes i cheked the vesta strip, you loose to much on lm/w and the nichia has the optisolis version of the nichia has very high cri and better perf i think than the vesta.

I am interested to see how you go with all off this also, good job doing something different and using optisolis from nichia.

I just had a look at Steves leds heatsink that was posted here. What a beast. Good to see someone is spending the time to do something right
