Thank you for the response. I'm using v1 veros. I guess they run a little less powerful than current data sheets provide. I was hoping to get 45-50w out of each chip at 1.4a based on data on the sheets provided by bridgelux. Currently getting 160w out of the four on a killawatt. I wondered if...

Thanks for input, but answered nothing really. I've read the data sheets. 30v for 18, 37v for 29 @1.4. I'm only pulling 120v total at start. It should be 141v. Why the loss? Temps? Or something else? Anyone know best way to find loss?

Looking for help, I bought a mw 185-1400 with 4 vero 29. This was before the excellent charted work done here. I decided to run an vero 18 in the series with 3 of the vero 29s. Anyone see a problem with this? On firing up on a cold heatsink, I get only 120v @1.4a- 168w, I was hoping for the...

I've notice this also, just switched to LED and this last run of clones finished faster.

What did you notice that made you move your lights up? Thanks for the replies, guys.

Hello LEDheads, What are the common distances for lights from tops of the the plants/canopy? I'm running 60w per plant of 3500k vero 29. Thoughts? Thanks for your help.

What's your typical veg time before 12/12? Great looking plants, nice work.

thank you for the quick reply!

Hello, quick question. If I don't hook up a potentiometer on the "b" style, do I solder the wires together? Or leave open? Thank you in advance

A dishwasher door...true upcycling. Nice work.

Ap, thanks for the reply. screwing in the cobs does look better, but for testing I liked the ease of tape. My concern was the tape causing some dysfunction from your statement. Carry on gents.

AP, can you give details on why kapton tape doesn't work with Pico mate connectors for the Veros. Thanks

Thanks, do you have a photo. I'm trying to visualize this with the fins. I've seen cutouts on plate but never an attachment to l bracket

How would you attach the cpu cooler to the L bracket?

Just wanted to pop in and say thank you to everyone that worked on data and posted thoughts. I was in the process of identifying what materials i wanted. With this thread and a couple of others, I feel better about my decisions. So, thank you all for your contributions. I will report back...
