Hello,

Today i want to Show you Guys my latest Light rework.

My growspace is 80cm2 or 3ft x 3ft

In the past I used 5x 3590 Cree cobs with the hlg 240 C1400B
This light also received a 6x EpiStar FarRed (700mah HLG Mini Driver) LEDs Upgrade that I recycled in the new light.

After a few years i switched to 2 Quantum Boards (320 Samsung Chips powered by elg 240 42AB) with a seperate 660nm HyperRed Channel that is running at 60 Watt max.

Now I played Dr. Frankenstein even more and combined 4 of my old cobs to my new light.

The COBs are placed in the Corner to erase the dark Blindspots in the Corners.

Also the Gap between the boards fits perfect for a Solarstrom UVB light (I only use it in the Last 2-3 weeks)

Here is a Very short Video of the CXB3590 test

It Sure would be If i Push it to 100% from the start. But I am running the COBs only at Like 60 Watt in veg.
I used Photone App and it showed strong ppfd Drops in the Corner. The Numbers are crazy, because 3 different phones, Show 3 different values.
From 400 other 620 and Last over 3000 (5cm under the COBs).
Even thought the values are different it helped me adjust the cob Position and wattage to get more even spread.

The Titel is Over Powered for a reason ┌(・。・)┘

I'm interested to see what it does. I flower in a 3x3 with 4 Vero 29 gen 7s. I feel the corners are lacking as well. I was going to add another 2, but that's 600 watts at max. I guess I could dim it and get a lil better efficiency.

The ugly Part of DIY, or its Just me beeing sloopy in the Attachments.
But there is nothing more resistent/durable/modular than a provisional.

I Used a Solid frame of AluminiumSystem and screwed the quantumboards with cover onto the frame, so at least my foundation is Solid.
The FarRed Led bars and the PassivCooler of the CoB are attached to the frame with zipties and the UVB Lamp Just gets layed into the Gap on some L-Holders.
Maybe in the Future i will get Some Better passiv coolers or Attachments solution.
