[TerpyTyrone]

Your fine.... like I said I'm running them still..just not as hard.....

Did They flash?

No
And the only problems I have had with the strips is .this and I had 2 that came with about 12 of the 96 out ..he made me a deal on those cause at the price, if you start shipping stuff back, no one makes any money..etc USPS on shipping....

So he sent me new and I paid I think shipping on the new ones.. so it was a wash for him... and I'm using 1 of those now... with some out....

Trust me I not saying don't do this .... just wanted you to know what happened to me.....

Do u use constant voltage drivers with lights in parallel or constant current with lights in series?

Parallel.. with mean well b drivers with dimmer pod's....

 

[Capt's Farm]

I have run the reds on cheap 30w drivers form china for 3 bucks a pop also..

And when I run 1 of the whites under my shell for solos that's on a cheap 30w 3 $ driver for china I got to run some cobs....

 

[Big Perm]

This is great, subbed up.

 

[Capt's Farm]

I now run the 3 reds on a 80w mean well b with a dimmer pod's

 

[Capt's Farm]

These little 30w is great for the reds if you just went 1 on somewhere....

 

[Capt's Farm]

Sry about blowing up your posting....

 

[Capt's Farm]

Here's what I use most the time on the reds
But right now im running them on my bigger driver cause I'm running that 1 white strip also.so I'm just running like half way
And I still have a fan on the white strip

Doing your own is the way to go if you could order them already made it would be a lot easier lol this is two different lights one for a 4x4 and one for a 5x5

Thats sick! Whered ya get the sinks that fit 2 strips?
Whats ur overall width? How far are they spaced?
Mine is 8 strips on a lrs350-24 28.5" x 18(the width of the heatsink)
Its going in a 32 x 60 tent for a bro. Otherside is 4 qb132 on a 350-32 if I remember right

I’ve got a guy who sells it all as a kit I always just tell him what I want to spend and he sends you the kit the one for my 4x4 is 600 watts and the one for my 5x5 is 750 watts and that’s actual watts at the wall and they both smash the leds I had before and the hps

how hard is it to do your build kit, what’s the average it takes (time wise) to assemble a 4x4 or 5x5 lights ?

they are looking good

It took me an hour to figure out spacing attach the sinks to the frame, using self drilling screws. Then I figured for having my driver ouside of the tent, I added like 8 ft from light to driver.
Made a bunch of splices using wago connectors. Anothwr builder a long time ago told me to have the wires be the same length.
The Problem using wago connectors is that they're only 4 holes. So it takes some work to get it to 8 strips off one driver.

My 5x5 light took me a couple hours 3 nights after work than the one for my 4x4 took me about 2 hours
