The M series uses the 561b not the 561b plus. Big difference.

Deffinately keep the pics and paperwork until you see if they work. They were really speedy and reasonable on the shipping.what the F.
Hm I wonder if I should just send that pic to arrow and be like 'hey what is this packaging'
So I emailed Digikey and they fixed it right away, but just the other day I got an email back from Bridgelux because I emailed them too, and they were concerned digikey wasn't packaging them correctly and were going to follow up with their rep at Digikey.
So I wonder if I should contact samsung and let them know - I only think that would work if the strips were actually broken though. I filed an RMA request with Bridgelux thats why they gave me attention.
Definitely ! Super fast shipping and the cost (free shipping) couldn't be beat.Deffinately keep the pics and paperwork until you see if they work. They were really speedy and reasonable on the shipping.
More. F...M...H...and at least 1 other series. Check out digikey.so samsung and bridgelux make 4 foot strips. Does anyone else make them? did i read this correctly, sumsung has 2 different lines of their 4 ft strips?
True, but you can get nice passive pin heatsinks now - I'm definately going to build my flowering light with veros. I'll keep the Strips for my seedlings and vegging, not because they won't work for flowering I just want some verosits the heatsinks that always kill me with the cobs. I like to use passive cooling. so they get pricey, if you want to pump 80-100 watts to a cob, the heat sink is like 30 dollars.
Looks awesomeI have 2 fixtures in a 4x8 tent. I am using 4 Vero 29's and a quantum board per fixture. each fixture has the 29's running with a 320-2.1 ma driver, and 2 board are running on 1, 240-1.05 ma drive. So my entire tent has about 950 ish watts running in it.
Honestly, i think the veros do a amazing job. mixed with the quantum board, the coverage is pretty consistent, and the plants are thriving under them, even a lettuce plant likes them.
no disrespect, but m series gen2 use lm561b+ , here's the doc:The M series uses the 561b not the 561b plus. Big difference.
None taken. I missed the "+" sign looking for the actual word "plus". I stand corrected. Thanks!no disrespect, but m series gen2 use lm561b+ , here's the doc:

Guys, I think we all need to send PicklesRus a big thank you. He paved the way for us (to get better shipping) from digikey. I got my bridgelux strips today. They were packed like they were work 10k a piece.Well the first time the strips were totally bent in a U shape, and I got a spare set for free - these ones I hope the packaging was good enough, but i'm just really surprised there was no bubble wrap and the "box" was flat.. like. wtf. they could have gotten damaged easily...
If they dont work, more free LEDs lol.
So just a heads up, if Arrow is shipping the strips like this then you might end up going through a 'return' process.
Ha ha ha yeah man. I did reach out to arrow too actually and sent them the pics and circled the part of the datasheet that says the pcb shouldn't be bent in shipping. I think I should also contact Samsung to see if they can put some pressure on arrow to tighten up their packaging practice.. the Samsungs I got today were face to face without bubble wrap - I'm pretty sure the LED surfaces shouldn't have pressure put on them and obvs the "box" it came in which was more like a flat piece of bent cardboard should not be used for shipping leds.Guys, I think we all need to send PicklesRus a big thank you.

they were each wrapped in bubble wrap, then wrapped in groups of 2 in more bubble wrap, then all grouped together and put in a huge static bag, then wrapped in some kind of cardboard mesh, then put in a triangle box. I could have beaten an intruder with the box, and the lights would have been fine.
I don't know what those warehouse guys are thinking. I should have taken better pics of the package and shown how the LED surfaces were sandwiched against eachother without padding. Meh. What can you do.I ordered 10 of the 4K Samsung strips from Arrow and they came in bubble wrap in a stiff cardboard "L" strip.
Yep that does seem weird to medoes anyone else think the numbers on the samsung M-series spec sheet are kind of janky?
so running a M-series 4ft C

HLG-320H-C1050B (im assuming this is the correct ma on the first column)
max v = 305
watts = 320.25
13.377 strips @ 426.73 watts
HLG-320H-C1400B
max v = 229
watts = 320.6
9.54 strips @ 320.6
HLG-320H-C2100B
max v = 152
watts = 319.2
4.30 strips @ 152 watts
These numbers don't seem to add up correctly.

4.92 strips @ 321 watts
the 1400 on the samsung seems to be right, the rest seem like someone just plugged numbers in there randomly. The bridelux numbers look right. I find the watts and volts on the 1000 ma bridgelux a little coincidental, but its at least close.

I actually just emailed Samsung on this, maybe ill hear back from them
Very nice video- I was looking at those but I didn't know how they mount - that is helpfull to seehttp://www.klusdesign.com/products/led-extrusions
Think some of these will fit the led strips to mount the strips to and lenses made to fit if you want.
