My brand new DIY Fixture.

I wish strips were brighter. I'd really like to use them with these 3 heatsinks I salvaged. Buy I really think Vero's/Citis will be a better route as far as utilizing the heatsink to get the most photons. 75w per Vero for 150 per sink with 2 fans strapped on the back of each one will work nicely I think.

You're going to be a "baking pan-strip build man" sooner or later. Me too.

Well in all honesty right, Vero's would be a better option? I'd only be able to fit Max 3 h influx double rows at 3500-4000 lumens per strip giving me 10.5-12K.
One vero alone at 50watts produces close to 15,000 lumens not to mention having 2 for close to 30,000.

Lol that's also an option. But the fact that these have fins means using fans can keep them really cool, so I think I oughtta get the most outta them with good ol COBs.

Yep!!! That's the exact light I took apart and used!!!

I still can't decide what I should do with these 3 heatsinks. They stare m down everyday and beg me to use em. I can not for the life of me decide what to do. Besides commiting to the LPC-120 model meanwell drivers, I still can't decide between strips or cobs. They're going to be under canopy/ side lighting for the 4X8.
