If I went for two CREE's what temperatures would you suggest to give me a good compromise between veg and bloom. I'll source the heat sink and driver locally as they will be the high ticket items in postage terms - UK based.2 or 4 would be better. But if you run them hard like 64+watts you'd be alright with 2.
Thanks, I guess lol. Jesus, now I have yet another language to learn, it seems... I'm lost. Again.
3500k for sure.If I went for two CREE's what temperatures would you suggest to give me a good compromise between veg and bloom. I'll source the heat sink and driver locally as they will be the high ticket items in postage terms - UK based.
Looking at http://www.cutter.com.au/products.php?cat=Grow+Light+Kits which one - Got the money waiting to drop now
May even go for the CXB359-LHA36VKIT 4 cree kit - £132 shipped then I'd have to add cooling (large passive aluminum bar) and a driver... Driver can be source either in the UK or Euro market to keep postage rates down... What temperatures to go for though!
1.16mm is the metric conv for 18 awgGiven the 140mm pin heatsink, cob holder, adapter and Angelina reflector, how many and which screws do I need? I believe that the side mounting holes are M4, but I might be mistaken. Please, just got over the weekend to source.
Edit: does anyone know what 18awg is called in Metricsland? A size that fits the cob holder...
I think (not sure yet) awg 18 is equal to .75 mm^2 wire in metric sistem(more or less...awg 18 should be .8ish mm^2 but metric wire sistem doses not have that size...well,at least in my country...we have .5mm^2/.75mm^2/1.5mm^2/2.5mm^2/4mm^2...)Edit: does anyone know what 18awg is called in Metricsland?

Thank you. Now my problem seems to be that anything under 1.5mm2 is impossible to source here. If anyone knows a link for some 18awg/.75mm that ships everywhere, I'd be happy. Or rather, happier. With taxes I'm already $1300+ into this and I've yet to find alu for the build. Still positive, though.I think (not sure yet) awg 18 is equal to .75 mm^2 wire in metric sistem(more or less...awg 18 should be .8ish mm^2 but metric wire sistem doses not have that size...well,at least in my country...we have .5mm^2/.75mm^2/1.5mm^2/2.5mm^2/4mm^2...)
Ideal can use up to .75 mm^2 ,bjb .5 mm^2
handling fees suck, Timber has free shipping,I am interested in ordering 2 of the MAU5-24 Grow Kit's, but they want over 600 for shipping and over 200 for "handling" fees, seems way excessive to me, I definitely will not pay that much for shipping and handling fees. There a current discount code that works?
i think you are refering to aussie land ? if so ask cutter to send you some wireSheeit. So I've got a dozen cxb3590s with accessories itching their way here. Then, on Friday night I discover that anything less than 1.5mm2 is impossible to get in the land. It seems like I just hit the wall on this project. I'm stuffed.
No, I'm in the backwaters of Europe. Looking at eBay now, but it's like a month shipping...i think you are refering to aussie land ? if so ask cutter to send you some wire

Edit: so far, the earliest delivery date is October 3-11. Do you guys know if there's a way to pay for quicker shipping on eBay?
I'd be much obliged if anyone could look at this and say if it's what I need:http://m.ebay.com/itm/271206667004
Okay, so it's a bitch with stranded wires, but does it work? Seriously short on a lot of things you guys take for granted, unfortunately.Thats stranded wire and its a bitch to insert into ideal cob holders.but if your planningto solder each cob then it will work fine.for that type wire you should be able to find it at any auto parts store.
Also alot of guys use thermostat wire and i would say if your under 200w its probably fine but over 200 i would find the right stuff.
its a major pain in the ass with stranded. i even tried tinning the wire to make it solid and then its too big for those holders.yes it can work if your very patient and you make sure none of the strands end up touching other stuff like the heatsinks.this is the shit you want.mil spec and it looks like it would ship next weekOkay, so it's a bitch with stranded wires, but does it work? Seriously short on a lot of things you guys take for granted, unfortunately.
Edit: is it possible to cut some of the strands off heavier gauge wire to fit ideal holder? Noob q, I assume, but since the juice clearly can flow through 18awg it seems intuitive that it could flow through the bottleneck.
Ahh, wouldn't want any touching the heatsinks now would we, lol. Thank you so much, just what the doctor ordered. Guess a hundred feet will be enough for this project.its a major pain in the ass with stranded. i even tried tinning the wire to make it solid and then its too big for those holders.yes it can work if your very patient and you make sure none of the strands end up touching other stuff like the heatsinks.this is the shit you want.mil spec and it looks like it would ship next week

£6. Something pr m? Ouch. That's quite steep. UK would be great, shorter shipping. Haven't ruled anything out just yet, perhaps it's time to find out how much I need... Thank you, Brother.@AtterStiga

If you need,I can find other shop.
This one is in uk
Wouldn't something like 40amp electrical cabling do - like a cooker is connected with? That can be bought at your local DIY store?£6. Something pr m? Ouch. That's quite steep.
