Hi Supra !

I decided to go with a pair of 5.88"x18" ... should be delivered somewhere next week so I'll give feedback on those in about 7-8 days ...

Just wanted to thank you a lot for your help ! Much appreciated buddy !!

When you think of anything I can do for you just let me know and I'll be glad to help

Cheerz !

Hey, I have been following you and Gaius. Been looking at his Bud bin

http://www.rollitup.org/t/seeking-help-building-custom-designed-diy-led-grow-lights-using-cree-cxa3070-cobs.792363/page-6

I was wondering about the wiring particularly the fans. I have msged him as well. waiting on a reply.

Hey supra I'm considering doing a few diy led panels on the side for fun and for backup lights. Are there any awesome full kits with everything needed to build(minus tools etc.) with decent instructions step by step. I love messing with electronics and small parts but have never done anything like this. Thanks ahead of time.

figured i should stop hijacking your thread with my newb questions. here's another one with regards to mounting the cobs on the heatsyncs, can i use any quality thermal paste to bond the chips onto the aluminum, or should i be specifically looking for a A+B thermal adhesive? ie/ http://www.arcticsilver.com/images_v2/asta/asta_med.jpg

Hey Supra didn't want to flood the 3070 thread. Are there any 3590's currently better than the ab's? If not what would be the cheapest way and easiest way to get the most out of 3070's and exactly what would I exactly need to get 10k lumens per? Would I put each on it's on driver? What heatsink should I use? Any advice is strongly appreciated!

Hey supra....could really use some consoltation on LED chip selection and spectrum....can pay.....please help

Hi Supra....are you still building the diy cob's by chance? Sorry I couldn't figure how to pm

Keeps you out of trouble or does it? PS I have been married to the same lady for 36yrs 1 month and something. Be happy.

Hey supra. You seem to be THE guru when it comes to COB builds and knowledge. Im looking to build 2 setups (one asap and one when I can afford it in a few months) for a 2.5'x6' flower chamber. What do u suggest I put together to light half of it for now? Will $300 do the trick?

Congradulations on your marrage a little late. Hope all is going well. Peace

There has to be an easy way to wire in a MOSFET on the DC end of a driver and put on crimp connectors so you can plug in and power a PC fan directly from the driver. I play a lot of Airsoft and we use MOSFET to drop the current from lipoly packs going into trigger contacts so they don't arc. I know it will work, is easy and cheap, but dont have the tech experience.

Hi supra I figured you would be the best one to answer the question. i got a 2' x 3' x 6' grow tent and i want to use the cree cxa3050, i was thinking about 2 5000k and 4 3000k running at 25w for optimum efficiency. do you think this would be a good output of light for the size of tent. and plus im thinking of having them on separate heat sinks with each heat sink having a fan in the back.

Hi Supra. Thank you very much for all your LED tech info, it's been very helpful. I'm interested in your opinion on these bad boys: http://shop.stevesleds.com/Philips-Luxeon-M-4000K-12-Watt-LEDs-LuxM4K.htm
The numbers look very good...

I'd use 3 in series with the 50W Fasttech driver.

Hey SUPRASPL,
could you explain how you calculate the values in your post about Cree CXA 3070? Thank you :-)

Here's the Link to your Post.

Just Married! Full of gratitude and thanks it is amazing how much work and care people put into weddings

Hey supra you seem to be the go to guy for leds so I have some questions for ya if your not to busy. I want to built a 4 cob 3070 3k panel. I know which fans I want but not neccisarily what the best option would be for heatsinks, drivers , etc. Also would sheet metal be the best holder for everything?

please get back to me. sorry about the lack of communication

Thanks Supra, really appreciate the info. Just got the info that seller took the freedom to send another driver supposedly more suitable, grrr lol. Will look at the one you linked to if new driver he sent is no good? Know of any link to a noob crash course to calculate drivers for myself? Thanks bud your awesome. /dr

Can you help me. Can i run the 100w Cree COB;s w/ the LPC-60-1750? Only plan on running them 4 months out of the year. Any Advice is apreciated

Supra, I have a question as a newbie 4 ya. I have ordered 3 COB's nd am about to order my drivers and wanted sk you if I could go up to the LPC-60-1750. I know they are not as efficient as the 1400 or even lower but i ONLY plan on doing 1 grow of Autoflowers per year in the winter. Considering the limited use am i safe with the 1750. I apreciate the help.
Californacation. (even though I live in Holland)
