how would I order these ? I can't find it listed your web site. do you have a smaller 3up 20mm star ?

Yes we have a 3 up version, same basic functionality

I will check and make sure these are up

Mark can those wavelengths be put onto the 6 led PCB strips using the Cree Xp's ??

And on that quad pcb is that the mounting holes in the center ??

I can put the same leds on the 6 up linear PCB, but that board is not addressable for each colour, so they would just be on.
Centre hole is normally for wire pass through and 4 other holes are to screw down, we also have a precut thermal pad to suit the 24mm

Cool !
I can piggy back them solderless strip LED PCB onto my Far Red bars & wire separately

I forgot to note that the 80/20 Ebay garage sale will do mill work on Any Item they sell
IE; go pick a flat bar stock & they will tap & drill holes , the 4 side extrusion bars ,they will mill holes anywhere u want ,will tap holes anywhere , even that end hole is tappable
those huge holes in mine (that for 1/2" lag bolts into the stud ) I did myself but I had those done in the past on ordered items
as everything is plumb & square when they do it they do fine cuts not much touch up at all

hm, I'm about to place an order, is the shipping correct to CA? $32 + $26 handling? shipping and handling are listed separately, comes out to 1142.28 AUD for 2 kits. Or approx $868 USD

Not trying to hi jack the thread, @growmau is a big advocate to the COB movement community so i thought he may not mind. Just a quick general question if some could please provide their expertise.

Daisy chaining different types of COB's, Safe? it will be ran off of 240v to keep the amps down.

1st cob unit is pulling 570watts @100% ( will only run @100% for 3weeks max in bloom) 2.5amps @240v 100%
2nd is pulling 320-340w @100% ( 3 weeks max) 1.5amps @240v 100%
3rd is pulling 330-340w @100% (3wks max) 1.5amps @240v 100%

Hi Anomolies
The handling is not my charge, sorry, the banks (PP or CC) need feeding
Cheers

Alrighty. Thanks Mark! Btw, does it come with the aluminum holder in this pic? Or where can we get that? Also, i like the look of Kingbrite's glass cover lens over the Angelina, is there any other place to get those?

i was going to get 8 COBs, and just noticed there is also this package: MAU5-V111 Grow Kit. I guess it's cheaper to get this one instead, but this is running 8 on one driver? what if I just wanted to run 6, would that still work?

Hi all , this is my first post in RIU.
Incredible vibes of creativity here - I thank you all for this!

I plan on ordering 3 kits of mau5 for a 4*4 . In the future I may change to a 3*5 and the extra cob per kit (as an option) fits perfectly for that layout change and slight footprint increase

1. is this thermal grease good for the kit ? ( its a plan B in case the pads are not performing )

http://www.cutter.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=cut608

2. The DC barrel connectors for quick release of cob bar from remote ballast - will any product perform? Are there any specs/link ?

3. The wire connecting the DC barrel to the remote ballast - what are specs for this specific segment of wire ?

Thanks
Sym

look at inrush current and max units per breaker on data sheet

for example hlg185-c is 55A of inrush and they say 2 or 3 per breaker

if youre trippin breakers (yo why you trippin?), maybe a type "C" breaker is available for your panel

check out this thread (particularly second post) to see B vs C breakers

sounds like the kit is a hit!

excellent!

simple swivel bracket will allow Cutter sink to attach directly to an 80/20 extrusion with standard hardware. Allows ~45 degrees of directional adjustment for those that want to angle their cobs. or slide them down the 80/20 track.

Out of 0.063 thick 6061 aluminum and designed to get the maximum amount of parts out of a sheet. I am taking a class next week to learn how to operate an abrasive water jet machine. apparently its the fastest cheapest way to cut parts out of aluminum sheet. I don't want to over promise under-deliver, But I will attempt to cut hundreds of these brackets if you guys like them, and if the geometry works out in real life.

I love the flat cut sides on the mechatronics pin sinks. Very versatile.

I'm having trouble checking out. Waiting for response from Cutter.
Transaction declined. sad T_T

Growmau is the MAU5-V111 Grow Kit good for 4x4 space? I'm just gonna get that one but what arrangement for the lights? I'm thinking this:

That's a Inexpensive solution , you use some allen head bolts as the sink screws & you'd also get on the fly adjustment for the 30 deggree swivel
that will attach to more than Just 80/20 gear
also there is 80/20 that just has one slot & square
& then a single slot thin channel like what's on my ceiling run of dbl slots

@werm11 has nice 8 cob config for a 4x4 space.

begs the question should we supply allen head bolts instead of philips head?
