    new 1000w led strip project

    There is also good things to say about spotlight designs. If you have high ceilings it might even be the better choice for working with taller plants. Quantum boards, with lower power diodes function better if you hang them close over an even canopy. I found an interesting yt series about this...

    new 1000w led strip project

    I am not saying it's more efficient, it's less efficient, but not so much people don't go that route, look at Spectrum King for example...

    You know bigger heatsinks always pays off, because in the end the efficiency is directly related to heat, so in theory if you ran even bigger heatsinks you could get away with half as much diodes but still be almost as efficient!

    What happened to ChilLED?

    Ive been walking around with that idea for a long time, replacing your cobs with round ±50W pcbs that cover the whole surface of your existing pin heatsink so many growers already invested in, with any colour combination you like on them. Possibly even a ring shape, for mounting around an...

    What happened to ChilLED?

    Any updates on grows with these Chilled gen 2 lights? I have gotten more curious about the finishing times, and overall quality increases, especially after reading all those 80cri vs 90cri treads.... Chilled = 3000K, + a lot of red, + blue and UVA. Do they finish faster? Any noticable...

    Adding deep & far reds to Quantum Board build

    Maybe only use extra deep reds only if you also add blue and UVA? I made the same 'mistake' here, I doubled up on my cobs with 3500K 90cri cobs to expand my system, half the amps and get better spread. I could have left it with that. But instead I went overboard with 3 extra channels: Deep red...

    Part I in the long series called: Why doesn't it exist? ;) Who wants to hire me as a designer? I am out of money after that last build, but loaded with ideas.... I declare this one: Donut Board

    The longer you wait the cheaper it gets, per photon that's a fact, so take your time. Maybe they wil have really good and cheap 90+ cri that dont need any extras 3 years from now that overtakes all the quantum boards that are now rocking, for half the price... You could also ditch your cobs...

    haha thanks it IS fun with all the dimmers, I just tested some of the spectra you can get with this light :D

    I think a lot of guys who are currently running 80 cri strips would be helped with some additional strips with just the extras on them: Red, blue, UV, far red. And if you have 90cri strips already cold and warm white @ separate channels you probably would be best off with strips with only: UV...

    Guys I also really love the art form idea! I feel like an artist indeed, my dad was an artist, and I went to design school where I actually graduated on a designing a durable bicycle which went into production. The Double Dutch transporter...
