I cant really say anything about them, it was years ago.Maybe one of these 2?

Have you checked ebay? "Ucandoit" I think is his handle name. He sells double sided thermal, otherwise I've used this and it works well.. glMaybe one of these 2?
The K means Kelvin, 3500k is the norm for full cycle. Most qb board style lights are a mix of 3k-5k with 660nm reds sprinkled in. Doing these bar style diy you can pick whatever. Higher K , 4-5k= more blue in the spectrum which keeps plants shorter w/ tighter internodes. Use during seeding/Veg stage.So , I have been lurking here on this thread, and a couple similar to this. And one thing I am a bit confused about is the color=K of the strips used?
I want to build an all around full spectrum veg/flower fixture.
So the 3500K strips are for a vegg, use?
And the red660nm, deep red7__nm
Is the diodes suppling the flower spectrum?
Thank you in advance
Thank youThere's a thread by @ilovereggae and he uses Vestas/bridgelux that have different spectrums on the same strips. Can switch from 5k to 3k I'll try to find it
3500k is fine for start to finish with nothing added. Here’s the link mentioned.Thank you
I look forward to the link.

So a strip build of just 3500k is good germ to harvest.3500k is fine for start to finish with nothing added. Here’s the link mentioned.
Bridgelux Vesta super tuneable strip build
it's finally done. 8 Vesta 2ft strips. Each channel has its own 185W 24V driver that will run up to 975ma. this let's me run either 2700k or 5000k on its own or in combination to get anything in between. While these strips can technically take full blast on both channels, I will only run...www.rollitup.org
For sure, I did a 3500k strip build for just the occasion, I had to add I think 12 4K because I ran out of 3500, think there is a pic somewhere in this thread already.So a strip build of just 3500k is good germ to harvest.
Arrow has some old L09 strips for under $4 each. Someone might have a link to something comparable price wise but better. These are 3500k and are the strips I used, 54 of them.So have been looking at the ARROW ELECTRONICS website. And as another member here had said, it is maddening on a mobile device.
I want to build a fixture for my 4x4, what is a good middle of the road strip, using the 3500k chips, at or above 72 diodes per strip. I want to run 380 to 400w for my tent.
Thank you in advance
54 pcs for a 4x4 wow.Arrow has some old L09 strips for under $4 each. Someone might have a link to something comparable price wise but better. These are 3500k and are the strips I used, 54 of them.
Na, it was in 5 x 6.5, I’m going to spread the bars more for the new room. Yeah wiring was killer, fixture is 4.5 x 5.5 right now.54 pcs for a 4x4 wow.
That's a lot of wiring...
What about heat? I mean 30w/Sq2I've done 12qty. Butted back to back x 6 bars. Wired all in parallel, wasn't bad. Those strips max out at 65w ish but you lose lm/w higher you run them. If you ran 12 at 50w max you'd be rocking a 4x4 at 600w-37.5w/sqft. while still keeping decent lm/w.
I got this one from a shop near my house. But do you think that its gonna work? They say Nothing about the heat capacityHave you checked ebay? "Ucandoit" I think is his handle name. He sells double sided thermal, otherwise I've used this and it works well.. gl

The double rows I use actual heatsinks from alberko a company near me. They have website https://heatsinkonline.com/What about heat? I mean 30w/Sq2
That must use a pretty robust sink?
Do you have a pic of the unit?
What driver did you use for it?
