Average PPFD at recommended power?these would be the ultimate strip fill out board, the new 5050 leds with 3 channel, 2 x white and third with deep red, each white led is capable of 250 lumens so 6-7 times more light than a 301B chip

I ordered 5 Sol-Strip 5050-BR's and was wondering how many watts each strip could be ran using a 1" heat sink { C/W/3": approximately 14.00 } from heatsinkusa or 1.813" { C/W/3": approximately 4.5 }. The way it is advertised it says over 40,000 lumens at 300 watts for 1 strip. So that's the max that no one will reach without some subzero artic cooling ability, I was hoping for a realistic number achieved with some cooling beyond a sheet of aluminum at 0.080" thick, from my understanding up to 50 watts like this.these would be the ultimate strip fill out board, the new 5050 leds with 3 channel, 2 x white and third with deep red, each white led is capable of 250 lumens so 6-7 times more light than a 301B chip
Thinking about setting up a 2 x 4 tent to grow autos having plants at different stages in the tent at all times in an attempt to have near perpetual harvests. Curious as to people's thoughts regarding spectrum. Thinking that 6 - 8 of these will do the job. My question is should I simply order the boards labeled as Vegetative/Flowering or mix the boards designated Vegetative and Flowering to get a mix of the deep reds and UV. The options are really neat but trying to optimize is a challenge. All input is appreciated.

Hi Mark
Need to light a room, thinking of using 10 boards your website says you have in stock
3 Channels, 2 Ch x 3000k(576pcs), 1 Ch x 660nm(67 pcs) and 400nm UVA(32 pcs) total 675
what range would I be looking to drive each channel at? (mounted on 2mm plate)

I see a portable heater in your tent. Who would of thought 5 years ago that one would need a heater.

Hi dabudmanman
Yes we can do this for you, when do you need them by? XMAS is fast approaching

Ideally Id like to get something up and running as soon as I can, Im also considering the option of 10x 288 boards kits if they come quicker/easier, and getting the ideal set up with 660nm and 400nm in the new year. Budget atm is around $3k-$4k aud. Would it take longer/cost a bit more to get the 300k/660nm/400nm 675led set up compared to the 288 board kits?

This phosphored red chip, what kind of efficiency/ppf has it got and how does it compare to popular deep red leds? I only get lums as per datasheet and cant really compare to crees/osram

Hey Rocket
When I get back in to work next week I will get some readings and post them. this is only a 1.7mm square chip like Cree XQE so raw moles will likely be lower than XPE, but it is a much cheaper chip however so you can use more of them

Hi Grisbi
Hope your well. have you had a chance to power up the strips yet?
so you want to be able to control the total rig for each spectrum?
Cheers

Hey dabudmanman likely we can get you an running with the 675 led skin quickly in the new year if thats your preference
let me know what your timing needs are

im working on it!! ive been busy on changing flat, so i will install my 30 solstrip next month
i wanted a device witch can control each spectrum (2k / 5K / 660nm / cree 3500k), do you know a easy solution?

maybee this device is good to manage my spectre no?

one driver for each channel and a sonoff 4 ch (pro) would be the cheapest solution

It all depends on what drivers you are using and what kind of control over it all you want to have. I am using a Bluefish controlling 5 channels( 3500K, 660nm, 730nm, 390nm, and 850nm). If you aren't using drivers that are controlled with dimming then sonoff's would be good choice. Another option is with Amelech wireless controller and hub.(They have a store on Alibabba). That one kinda freaked me out with the way I made payment. I had to make a payment using paypalme but all was good and I received those items from them in like 5 days with updates whole time. Would be cool if Cutter or someone else would start carrying Amelech or similar product to control dimming and the on and off.

Hey Mark/ @welight
Hoping to hear back from an email, just a plain yes or no and i could send off a +500$ order.
Theres a few on the other cutter thread hoping to hear from you aswell.
