Two pretty skocking outcomes for UFC 196; rear naked chokes are no joke. @EfficientWatt I was the exact same way when I built the Frankenstein Crowns back in 2014, extremely jubilant about my first cob DIY work and pushed everyone new to the scene to try it for the fun. I learned with the...

Have you ever built your own DIY cob fixture before? If you have, you should know that it takes practice to perfect the art of building these things; no one ever got it perfectly right the first time so to say that a DIY cob fixture would perform better than a commercial cob fixture could only...

That may have been why they pulled Dos Anjos out at the last second, to prolong the McGregor legacy and to further build hype for the next UFC paid event involving Connor. It should make for a very entertaining match-up though once it takes place; champion vs. champion!

I watched the weigh in last night between Diaz and Connor and Diaz looks like he hasn't lifted a single weight in the past month! He's hungry though, so anything's possible.

Who's rooting for Diaz and who's cheering for McGregor tonight?

DIY builds are fun and cheap to do but may not stack well in comparison to commercial-based fixtures for beginners. While the concept of assembling cob-based fixtures has been repeatedly demonstrated by many here, including myself, there's a bunch to be taken in that happens with lots of...

Not everyone took Thermodynamics I & II, @frica ;-) Frica is correct, @douevendabbro?, inefficiency is a part of most consumer electronics, including lighting fixtures. Things like fans, fan drivers, cobs, and cob drivers all pull from the wall, with drivers losing/consuming more wattage in...

The CXB3590 Mini Mo's are dimmable and have a max dissipation of ~225W. The units themselves pull around 250W each. Each unit is around 24" long by 7" wide. @a mongo frog You'll have to just wait and see ;)

~8" separation should be safe.

I believe someone stated awhile back (maybe SDS) that thermal pads don't work as effectively as actual thermal grease for our lighting applications. Of course anything is set to change over time, especially when it's technology related. I'm a sucker for using the cheaper, proven route, which is...

......Action now!....Forever!

@HATORI HANZO The possibilities are limitless. Let's take this conversation to another place though :mrgreen:

No need to be sorry, J Bleezy, just trying to get a better grasp of what we're comparing here. Hortilux bulbs are typically priced as a premium bulb in stores, so output from your bulb should be good, especially if it's brand new. As for the reflector, which brand and model did you couple with...

Yeah Digikey offers Vero 29 for like ~24$ a piece. Shipping is usually affordable but they charge a sales tax regardless of where you live.

Yeah them datasheets can prove a little mind-boggling when considering and comparing real-life data

@J Bleezy An all-around nice looking harvest, lots of bud to go around. What were the details on the HPS that you used for this comparison test?

If this is your first time DIY'ing LED lights, then yes, this is a great start! It's cheap because you're doing most of the work and it gets cheaper the more you do. I don't know if the light ouput will be more or less than what your plant(s) will be needing.

I've bought a few leds from them in the past. Beware of high shipping costs. Another good source is rapidleds.com.
