Thank you for the kind words! I've worked at it for years now and I feel like I'm finally starting to get somewhere interesting.

They're Cree CXB3590 CB bin 3500K 72V chips, driven at 700mA. This is effectively the same as running 36V chips at 1400mA. My Meanwell B type driver will give 8% over is maximum output if the dimming leads are capped off, so my chips run at about 54W each.

Cheers tty,
How many COBs per driver are u running?
Also what is the spacing between COBs?
The Cob spacing looks tight, is that for intensity or something to do
with cooling?
:peace:VG:eyesmoke:

One Meanwell HLG-185H-C700B per 4 Cree CXB3590 3500K 72V chips. 80 degree KB lenses.

They're spaced as they are because I'm looking for even coverage over a 2' x 3' area for each module and simply spacing them evenly would not do that.

Its very interesting, to say the least, in person. This guy uses every bit of space and excess energy that's available. Aside from composting his own waste (you dont do that yet do you?). I mean your half way to soil... might as well start going soil n composting your shit man ;P

Tin work by my HVAC guy, building my dual core water to forced air HVAC system. One heat exchange core is for hot water to heat my house, the other is for cold with which to cool.

It will run on the same system with growroom HVAC, and thus operating costs will be shared and often eliminated altogether.

I know it isn't perfect but it's coming together. It will work and that's the important thing. I'm open to any problem solving ideas.

No your right tyy it will work and if it was free then it looks great :). If you paid for it then yup you need a new "guy" :). I'm the height of junkyard cobbler and yup time to start getting the lab in order for a new season. So wondering what your thoughts are on these lights if you don't mind image.pngimage.pngI do plan in building one using Cree because it looks like fun but for $260 would it be ok to start with, or just a cheap piece of crap?

Are you noticing any difference in the rate of growth switching up your setup re RDWC to your present grow? Sorry if you've already mentioned this, I'm skimming lol.

Looks like cheap piece of crap that I would save that 260 on, but maybe Tty has different input

I really couldn't tell you, I don't know my chips all that well.
