Are they hard to wire up? I'm pretty new to led lights and am looking to get another one.

Nope. Not alot of good youtube vids. But I found a couple. Mine dont require heatsinks so save time, money

Do u know or? I dont wanna get my new boards coming. I have the potentiometers coming just in case. But i dint see why not run it wide open. Yeehawww

If you have a dimmable driver why not just wire up a pot? But ya, you can cap the leads and run it full open, and likely get a few more watts than what it is stated to produce.

I was jw. Its only 240w over a 4x4 anyway, why not right?

Ya, 240W over a 4x4 -your gonna want every watt you can get. Certainly if just raising the light is an option vs dimming.

Hell yeah man. Good deal, I got some from hlg too but they were a little more pricey. But im loving them so far. I had to buy a kill a watt meter for sure tho and download a lux app cuz I was flying blind lol

Whos ready to solder some shit!

I cant wait to see how it turns out.

Me me me me, I am. Lol.View attachment 3964

Wow! It was more difficult thab i anticipated with the memory of the wire, the lil pot, and my sausage fingers. Phew. I may not wanna post thia pic. She works though!
Only 75 ohms wide open on a 100k pot?

 

[Turpman]

Sounds a little low. Need 100K to get full output.

It will work fine just not full power 75% Looks good.

 

[TerpyTyrone]

1000w hps @ 50%
+ 240ish watts @75%
Temp is tough to keep below 82.
I just went and added this and reminded my friend to water them heavier niw than ever because they are looking wilted,some.

Ghost og had a late start, started 12 12 with the rest of em and loving it! Look at those roots. Keeping up with the transition nutes 1/2 strength because im running autos along side.
The autos are amnesia by seeds man and supposedly up to 25% thc will will see. Looking good though. Just switched a week ago.

In the research I've done due to a pots potential manufacturing differences a 100k pot may not really be a 100k in true test. Test it with a multimeter and see.
Ive been taught to go with a 110k pot to accommodate those inaccuracies. Gromau goes over the how and why, very well in one of his tutorial vids.

I used a fluke. Multimeter.
Hmm. I hung it anyway. I need to get a side job to afford my new led addict...i mean hobby

Fuck me!! Out of curiosity I tested the other one. 130 wide open. That's my luck for testing after!!

Need help with soldering. Do I heat the pot lead and wire , like braising copper @Jesselikes2grow ? Can I add flux

Yes when you solder you heat what you sre soldering, not the solder itself.
