Or do you mean those builds where they're using abs project box's from Amazon to house everything?
No, more like the first pic with resister, I looked around and found box, now deciding what connectors to use. Pretty sure that i'll mount the drivers remotely (along with dimmer ) and have it so I can unplug entire 8 cob set up, using dc connectors. Thanks for your responses

pffft...for the record I know what diodes are in the Amare and they aren't all listed. Just trying to weed out the spam trolls, having a little fun...I do stay up on specs, been around these parts awhile.

Fuck Ive built more fixtures than most of the trolls have wet dreamed about.
Well obviously your an expert... Well I have been using AMARE lights since 02-26-14. Guess what? I have not had a single problem with them at all. I am finishing up my ninth grow with them... Go over to GC and search for "The White Light Revolution" once you find that search for my current journal. Nothing hidden everything documented. Yes, I can build my own fixture if I wanted to, but why would I? When I can purchase a product from a company that stands behind what they make. Yeah I got burned by the burple lights way back in the day because they made lots of promises that just were not true. If you know anything about Haitz Law then you know that the current technology won't be the standard for that long. So sir you should do a little more research before you start bashing a company. Better yet why don't you contact the company and ask all of your questions you want. I have, and they never have not given me an answer. I have real world documented results. I have Integrated Sphere data sheets. Not some guy holding a a $200 dollar meter they bought off of ebay...

again I know what the diode set is, thanks though. Again overpriced diodes at top dollar, what is so tough about that to understand?

Fuck your other recommendations, know one cares, stop quoting me, you were never addressed initially, now you feel like you have to be part of it????????????

grow with whatever, stop pretending they are the bestest!!!!!
So when are you going to start your own LED company OH EXALTED LED KING.... Who is the Oracle of all that is diode Why don't you take your ball and go home...

show me the diode and driver sheets from Amare......still waiting

never asked for anything else, certainly a paragraph isn't required.
I have been, looking at a few ideas for DIY, can you share some of yours. I still maybe just buy them, cause one minute I'm like I can do this, they make it look easy in the videos, then I'm sure id fuck it up.

ive seen the battle star, GM ever fulling ladder of cobs, and GG's product corner and his fixtures.

all the other ones ive seen are just on to rails with fans heat sinks.

Buy the best diode you can afford. Simple. Learn how diodes work, how they are cooled and the rest will follow, not some secret. Everything is on this forum for the last 24 months.

and to build your own is very easy....someone's ten year old daughter helped put a build together...believe me, it is hard to fuck up starting out with Kapton and Vero with pigtails....even getting into more complicated shit: tapping, pwm, it is all easy and explained.

Setting aside time and not rushing your 1st build is probably the best advice. Once one is done, the rest fly!

and in reality you can put together a build with no drilling no soldering, fairly easy, those are things people tend to fuck up the most :peace:

not in it for the money fucktard....this about the best medicine each one of can produce, or did your spammer ass forgot that Pet Flora 3?
Oh here we go again.... One who knows everything... Oh just in case you didn't see it here is a re post.

Here's a comparison on the price per watt.

AMARE SE450UVB: MSRP$1145 @450w = $2.54/w (actual ~500w) = $2.29/w
A51: MSRP$495 @110w = $4.50/w
Go Green: MSRP@$799 @300w = $2.66
PLC: MSRP$799 @300w = $266/w

Like I said take your ball and go home... I know PET and you tried that same BULLYING tactics on him. So I am a spammer because I like a product? Read the title of the journal. I have nothing against the DIY crowded I applaud them for the innovation. Many individuals don't have those skills to do such a thing, or have the time. Maybe they just want a product off the shelf that works. When I want a hamburger I can get it four ways... Go get a cow raise it then butcher it then grind up the meat for a burger. I could go to a butcher and by a piece of meat and grind it up and make a burger. I could go to the store and buy the ground meat and make a burger. Last but not least. I can drive up to the local hamburger joint and BUY me a burger just the way I want it.... I chose the latter. Oh and as for the best medicine I have to turn patients away because of the quality of medicine we produce.

Check out Gromau5 or Greengenes garden on the tube they have some very good videos if you want DIY.

QUOTE="Abiqua, post: 12555236, member: 552006"]Its cool whatever you use. The thing is some here need to do the "use" part, then report back. Im tired of expensive ass bullshit being pushed by twinks with zero grows. Grow the light a year then sing its praises. When you have guessing......Datasheets and diodes provide a baseline,

@ big smo its not nazism to ask what diodes and see 4 different answers lol :peace:
Im gonna laugh in 6 months when your incomplete grow reports suggest a weak ass light for top dollar, but what the fuck ever. Open Forum, lick me balls. Cant handle the truth, post in the year.[/QUOTE]

Ha Ha a year .... I grew with spotlights, warehouse lights, shop florescent, street lamps. HPS, MH, Burple LED, and the best light source out there the SUN.! Let's see hydro, dirt, peat moss, hydroton, rock wool, DWC and now using coco...I probably got dirt under my fingernails older than you... I got hundreds of pictures...

Well of course it does..... I been flushing it. Pushing it until it has reached it limits. It is a personal cross. Anyways I don't care what it looks like that is all of the marketing scam that you have been brain washed with. I really don't care what a aspirin looks like just whether it works. Let see you are going to grind it up make BHO out of it or maybe dry sift it. Maybe make butter or edibles. I suppose you buy your beer on how it looks not on its taste, flavor or alcohol content. Oh maybe your going to put in a glass case and just stare at it. Give me its THC, CBD and terpine profile. It is all I care about....
I suppose these are deficient.

Dude the pistils (hairs) are still ALL WHITE. why are you flushing it that early? And flushing shouldn't cause leaf curling and burnt tips. This is something different. This bud has a PROBLEM.

If you dont think looks have anything to do with marketing a product to make it sell more, than you're just straight up foolish.

So i picked up some cobs, drivers , I was scrolling posts and someone posted enclosure for all connections and dimming pot, and for the life of me , I can't find it, so, anyone ?
Just trying to 'dress up' the wiring
https://northerngrowlights.com/collections/all
I have been selling these 'Junction Boxs' along with the Pin Heatsinks. Comes with wagos, power cable. pre-wired potentiometer. I have plenty of boxes, just low on wagos for them.

You can make your own box as well. Just grab a suitable junction box from ebay/amazon. Drill holes for PG9 and PG7 cable glands as needed. Use a bigger drill or use a knife/scissor to make the holes bigger.
18AWG power cable should work with PG9. PG7 might work as well. 16awg PG9
Meanwell driver AC/DC/dimming cables will fit PG9
PG 9 hole is around 16mm and PG7 is around 12mm. You can see chart here

You have brought pet flora up a few times. And this is one of the logs I was looking at when I was checking out the amare lights. Are you really referring to this? www.rollitup.org/t/insight-amare-tech-solar-spec-led-panels.846158/LB351633305GBpage-7

I thought that was just junk being posting. But you do keep bringing him up so makes me really rethink if theres truth in what was being said here.

If so, thats pretty damn messed up that you have the balls to come in any thread boosting a name of a person who got bullied. Because to me every time you bring that up, thats the hidden meaning I see behind your message.

Could you please post those sphere (ppf/w) results on the amare fixture(s)??????? thanks
