I build lights

[Opie1]

Whats That sum bitch pull for watts , wide open? 275?

I’d say that it’s somewhere around that. If I could go back I’d get strips instead of quantum boards (I’ve got two of the 260’s and two of the 320’s all are on the triple heatsinks), the boards are great, but the strips spread out the light more.

Another happy customer!!
I'm trying to bring him on the forums. We shall see......

Ive got 2 2700k 400watt 22" x 34" fixture with your name on em. HMU pm and we can figure it out. I need these gone. I'm making deals lmk if,ur interested. We can work it out
8 50watt strips,per light. Real Samsung diodes

How much for 10 strips?

Ya just want the strips? No sinks?
Theyre around 16" each , i fit 2 on a 34" heatsink.
If I get a bunch and u get them from,me, somewhere around 14 a piece for the mixed spectrum with added reds. I have some 2700k straight coming. We could,make,a deal, HMU pm

The strips are also sold in 22” lengths, too. I used 22” strips for my 4x4 lights.

Here's a few shots of the room with 2 of @TerpyTyrone 350 watts strip builds with just one 315 in the mix.first run in flower with LEDs so a small learning curve was need this run.next run shit will be dailed.first two pictures I used the wife's phone cause mine blow's as you can see in the last two pictures

What type of strips did ya get?
I'm looking into cobs for a friend.
Man @20$ a heatsink , they crazy#!! But those citizen clu048-1212 are good up to 100 watts. They run on 36 v so my choice of driver works too..... Ive got LED addiction issues

Light #3 for this particular individual.
Its a 2700k flower light.
These strips can handle 50w each.

 

[TerpyTyrone]

Getting ready foe thw big show tomorrow!!

 

[Rocman91]

Yooo Terpy. Just built this today. It turned on lol, pulling 500 watts from the wall . Am I good where I'm at or should I turn it down?

Vero nice! As long as they are used to that intensity of light.
What types of drivers did ya use?

 

[Rocman91]

the drivers a hlg-600-30a. seems good! nothing got too hot or anything

 

[Streetpro09]

What do you guys think about running a 600-54a driver? I would think the higher voltage would be able to push more amps to the boards. I think the boards are rated at 48v if i remember right. Can that driver be turned down to 48v?

thats a big boy driver. you would need to run like 16 strips right?

this is how i wired this driver

From what i can tell the 600-30 and 600-54 are the same wattage (600) but different voltages (30v, 54v).

You said it's only drawing 500 from the wall which I'm pretty sure mine are right in that ballpark too. I wonder if that's because we only have 30v pushing current through the strips. I wonder if we upped the "push", 30v up to 54v, if the watts would follow suit and you get closer to the 600 watts at the wall. Granted we can't go up to 54v cause the strips aren't rated for it but these drivers are adjustable. Not sure if it'll cause accelerated ware on the diodes being driven at max voltage all the time.
