I overlooked the part where you mentioned remote drivers...
I had considered that, and may well be implemented into the 3rd design of ours, due out towards the very end of this year or early next year.
Another thing I want to experiment with is programmable dimmable timers, with multiple channels controlling each color separately, to attempt to simulate sunrise, midday, and sunset, and also the seasons. It's always been on my mind, and now it is within reachable means to be made. I know there's aquarium timers that do a stripped down version of what I need it to do. For growing, it'd be more complex, because there's much more than combos of white and blue. Not sure if it'd end up being a worth while thing, but it'd be fun to find out.

Yeah but most of us don't have that luxury of buying in bulk from the manufacturer........in a pre-assembled panel I would stay away from them IMO, granted you know the industry way better than I do
120mm fans sound good, but I was more interested in your heatsink/mcpcb design......to deal with the 12! 10w diodes in that case.....ever thought of using remote drivers in future designs??? really like that Rhinogrow design/ longevity issues remain to be seen though..
That HSS panel's par reading is really low.......but they are using some plastic diffusion? cover over their 5w? leds(automotive rated lol)and NO cooling system/whacky
Don't know/or tested the par readings on Hans Panel........he has improved it with his new stock(replaced the blue cree xp-e with xt-e) and made it run cooler for more lumens/per watt(still 65w total per panel)...........

Painted-on-flames make cars go faster, don't see why they can't make grow lights perform better.

Don't listen to Dawg, he thinks a purple suede suit with leopard print shoes is the business...and I quote from the lost writings of Jim Morrison's Wilderness...

That is pretty neat. Some of those aquarium LED lights are fascinating.
This one gave me many new ideas.

Is a 5w diode that much of a difference from a 3w diode? I ask because I am debating between CLW solarflare 200 (eventually 2) or (1) PG260x(new model). I only plan o growing them 2 feet max. So will penetration be a big issue?

IMO no the penetration will not be an issue in that small a space. Especially considering the amount of light you want to purchase.

I've mentioned this before, but Han's panel has a 65w remote driver and this thing puts out a surprising amount of heat......it just makes sense to remove these hot and heavy driver from the casings; makes it lighter/ steps down the cooling requirements, less-no fans/ driver can be moved to the top of the room in summer near the exhaust or brought down near the plants in the winter for additional heat,etc................ add a dimmer function/ should be the future of panel designs IMO(evo v4 has dimming???)

hey guys what do people think of this light? newworldicon reckons its good bang for ya buck, seems similar to the penetrators without being $900 if you dont mind less degrees on the lenses and a few less LED's per unit

Sick i'm straight on that, i had a look at Dawg's grow too, looks like good shtoooof! this thread is too useful!
I am extremely interested in seeing how to solder Cree LEDs with the other brand LEDs on the same circuit board.
Found the same lamps from this manufacturer in China. I believe its another branch of Cidly.

Yeah...from the research I have done--which is probably not half the amount that some people on here have done--most of these LEDs out there are manufactured and shipped directly from China aka Cidly. They make IMO 70% of the LEDs on the market. If you want to buy good quality American made...check www.LumiGrow.com or www.RhinoGrow.com both are Made in the USA high quality products. I myself own 3 Rhino's, you can check my thread on here titled RhinoGrow. If I had unlimited budget I may go for the LumiGrow as they seem to be the most advanced LED company around. For now these Rhino's are kicking ASS!
