Don't forget to throw us some eye candy in this thread as well.It will be in the vertical growing section...

I was thinking you could just throw a bent piece of metal (like an open piece of straight duct) over one of these boards instead of putting lenses on it. Drill a few holes, slap the driver on top, and hang it.
On your thread? I think I'm watching you hahaIt will be in the vertical growing section...

Do you think optics help your grow, I mean have you tried without also?

The spread actually affords me a nice square footage if you count the clones and outdoor plants I snuck in on the fringes. Got some poppies going.

Both the clones in the humidity dome on the fringes and the ones in the shade under the mother plants rooted nicely.

The air comes out of the vents cooler than my hand. This thing isn't going to save me very much money on heating this winter.

will you post pics upright or will this testing be done while hanging upside down from your basement rafters ?

I should tape it up with foil tape to reduce the light spillage inside. A lot of this temp is probably just IR from the LEDs bouncing around in the case.

These LEDs do not emit IR !

I'm definitely a swing from the chandelier kind of guy.
Besides, just LOOK at all that wasted space on everyone's ceiling!

No UV, either. I think this us a blessing, because now there's no fear of UV damage while working, and supplemental UV lighting can be on a separate circuit to run only when people aren't around.

I run optics on all my fixtures. I did test some without and is not as happy.
I feel strongly that optics put the light where It's intended and is therefore beneficial.
I haven't run any quantum boards yet and my first ones will have lenses.
Nice retrofit I'm putting one on my old g8led I had the same problem with a row of leds being covered by the case I decided I'm going to mount it outside the case an take the glass out to put a heatsink in the middle560mA

Thank you for testing i wish could do more tests but space is super limited here in sf :/. I'm thinking of going with the 60 degree lenses but I'm worried about coverage I need to cover a 4x4 with the 2 bars that are about 6"x35"
