LM301B diodes are 11.7% more efficient than LM301A. Oh well, the strips I bought work great, and have cut my electrical usage almost in half. Had I known, I would have shopped for the better ones.

I've seen that happen before. Was wondering how long it would last.
Keep a close eye on them though, Arrows prices are extremely fluid.

Was gonna say, anyone who payed $5 a piece ain't getting their strips, they're getting a refund. Lol

I got my half tray today. I've been checking the stock number. It started at 699. I bought 15, someone bought 10, and someone else bought 6. I'm sure they'll get their strips. Too bad Arrow raised the price back up. So, are the strips with LM301B diodes even more expensive?

Idk what they are now but about 6 mths ago when I was comparing prices they were about the same, which doesn’t make a lick of sense.

Wow so they shipped them regardless of being paid for at only $5/pc?

Damn it all to hell, I'm fuckin pissed I didnt buy like 100 of those strips. @CaliWorthington you're a lucky sum bitch.

That's your 6 strip build on a 320 right?

Its difficult to search and actually find convincing examples. Lots of posts mentioning cfl and tubes.
Lifetime of strips can be short unless you either shield or have access to make sure and clear foliage so it doesn't rest on the leds.
When lights turn off I can imagine the buildup of moisture. Sure I have seen pictures on here somewhere of boards with blown up diodes.

Yeah that's my flower tent, about 4-5 weeks into flower now. The stretchy one on the left is only around 2 inches from the light with no more vertical space.
Also I still have the 260W V2-Rspec hanging vertically in there, in addition to the 320 build. Its actually working pretty well as a vertical light

it has a meanwell 600 mounted in the middle, with one cable going to each side (the 600 comes with 2 output cables).
I use a straight edge for my extrusions, probably costs me about $5.50 per leg. (but I am buying wholesale on account of using more aluminium than the large local retailers). the top and bottom is powder-coated aluminium too
