Limo's CXB3590 build

[PerroVerde]

Crank it up to 13.5/10.5

Is that only after the first 3 weeks or during the whole run Captain?

It's strain dependent,as a rule of thumb you do 12/12 the first and last two weeks and up to 14/10 in between when using 730 nm for 5-10 minutes after lights out

Thank you...

I am going to try this next round, but just need a way to make the monos run automatically

Bonjour
Is epistar 730nm good enough for the job?
Which one do you use?

I've placed an order for...

>8 - CXB3590 3500K CD 36v
>8 - Ideal holder 50-2303CR
>2 - MW driver HLG-185H-C1400B

Still open to heatsink & design ideas.

Hey there, just wondering what diameter bit I need to drill holes for ideal holders for the 3590s? I'll be getting some soon. Also I've been told to use 3M screws for everything basically? Fans, cob holders, drivers, etc. Is this correct? If so what length or do they only come in one size? If not, what size bits needed for which holes and screws accordingly?

2.5mm or #46 drill bit worked very well with the tap a little cutting fluid while drilling the holes and more when tapping them. Measure 3-4 times, drill once and patients is a vertue... Good luck...

What size is that in inches? 1/16"?

Bought the #46 at ACE Hardware, and the 2.5mm off Amazon. Not sure the equivalent in inches. They are small and break way to easy but chances are I have tendencies to be a ham fisted Nimrod also...

Hey thanks for that. Screws are 2.5 mm wide threads?

Those are what I used, order enough of the drill bits so if you break a couple you wount have to reorder...

 

[littlejacob]

Bonjour
And to don't break a drill bit you need to...don't use a drill it is better with an electric screwdriver (not a sonic screwdriver unless you are the Doctor!) It is easier with it and you need to make a first hole with a smaller bit...keep yojr arm straight as possible and keep the same pressure all along...
So E screwdriver smaller bit straight same pressure...and no problem you don't even need oil to do it this way...!

Bonjour
It will depend on your hs thickness
You don't want the screw to be longer than the hs!

Is this what you need for chip lol holders for 3590s and also the same for the 100mm lens metal holders?
