led diy

Hi Hackers! I pulled apart a light that had failed, and found the inlet where you insert the power cord had cracked, and the hot wire had actually broken off at the terminal. I swapped out that part from another light and reconnected, and it works, except that one fan doesn’t work. When you turn...

Here is my little design for my home build thanks to some wise folk on here. All their knowledge and insights have made me move from Migro 100 to my very own homemade LED light. Samsung lm301 are the strips(so2 3k) Big red circles are Cree xpg-3 deep red (G01 660nm) 4 diodes on a round pcb...

Hi guys! I'm new to both growing and LEDing and this will be my fist of probably many questions in the months to come. I've been suffering from (what I think is called) chronic fatigue syndrome since about 30 months back and aren't able to work as a normal person would, so, I decided to start...

Can anybody tell me if I can run my led s straight from the 12 v side of the transformer? I did a quick test they light up okay. As I am going off grid I hope to run everything off solar panels an batteries,I dont want to use an inverter they use power by themselves. What I need to know is...

Hey everyone, I'm building a grow light using monos, Before anyone else tells me I should use COBs, I was not aware of them pre me buying these mono diodes. I will be incorporating some 3590s or 3070s on my light but for now I want to talk about a unit with just Monos. I just want to check I...

i was all set to build a grow light similar to the kind k4, ie with separate light spectrum leds, and i started seeing cob grow lights. i have a question regarding these two types of led grow lights. i kinda liked the fact that with the leds you could control each color individually, and i...

Dear Dudets and Dudes greeting. I would like to get a taste for LED sensation and need advice from you able minded folks as I am a bit daft on the tech part of things. (yes I know, long&useless intro) The idea is to have a clean stealth operation for a very mildly medicated dude in prohibition...

anyone using the citizen? specifically this one http://ce.citizen.co.jp/lighting_led/dl_data/datasheet/en/COB_5/CLU058-1825C4_P3372_1115.pdf or any from version 5 http://ce.citizen.co.jp/productse/info.php?no=107 it looks like they get really high L/W at a high drive current

Hi everyone, I'm a noob to the forums and to growing (never grown indoors before). So, without further to do I've just ordered 10 x 10w LED floodlights and will have an additional 4 x 5 foot LED T8 tubes in the following configuration. Im happy to receive advice and willing to experiment. This...

I have an LED light fixture that's not for growing but I am wondering if it'll work. It's a gas canopy light from a gas station. It looks powerful and it is very bright. Has anyone ever used a light like this and completed a flower cycle? What was your yield and quality like? The driver is...

Ok so the specifications: LED SMD 5050 12v 1A / m Red: 625nm Blue: 465nm This is not hard to make, just be really tidy and practice soldering before you begin. First of all you are going to need the board, metal is the best material but I don't know how to work with it, I used MDF Wood. Next...

I am ready to embark on a journey into the dark corner of rollitup where anger has been more aroused than people talking about donald trump. I know this is going to be a long journey with many problems along the way, and appreciate anyone's feedback that is going to help contribute to this...
