    CXB3590 350mA Build

    Got the rest of them up now, just need to fit the fans and make sure of temps. I think this is the way these LEDs will be best used tbh, stacked to make the most of a small space (that's if temps are reasonable, I might have to upgrade my extraction to an 8") Peace bongsmilie

    I don't have a thermocouple or a temp gun so I can't give the actual °C but it's a little hotter than I thought it would be, too hot to hold for a prolonged period.

    Haha, i'm really excited about getting them all up and running. Going to be loving the efficiency boost with these. Realstyles, I honestly struggle to understand how you think... The way those two posts came across was 'Look at me, i have more than you, i'm going to piss on your bonfire'. If...

    I too have been in touch with BAL group and requested a quote for 8 x 1 meter lengths of the 1343HS. It came to £231.46 including VAT, it didn't include shipping prices though. Still a good deal!

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    I used a stencil for my TIM on my current build. For the stencil I used a thin piece of acetate... Although tape would probably be a bit better
