Sorry to ask a question on your thread but....i am going to.

I have a 315 and a QB135 and a 200wat timber 2VL. Would it be better to run the 200 timber and QB 135 than that 315?

I am going to run the 315 and the QB because i will get right to 85 degrees F with both and the vortex on full. And that is as hot as i want to play in the tent. But maybe a chibi with that qb and timber...or another qb 135... :D

If it were me I'd stick the lot on. The more lights shining down on the plants the better.
Just throttle back the leds to suit your temps
:cool:

I will do this. The 315 full blast and the vero and QB adjusted to get to 500 watts in the 4 x 4. Thanks.

Is that at heatsink usa? Do they dril/tap them?
Yes Heatsink USA, view their website, they do have machining available.....unknown what the costs are.
Im pretty lucky I guess, its a Michigan company, so shipping to my area is very affordable!

That's a bargain I pay $16 each for mine. Is that at heatsink usa? Do they dril/tap them?
They do have machining services. They cut to your desired length for free, but I don't know about drilling and tapping cost. The Samsung strips don't have mounting holes anyway, they have semicircles notches cut in the edges for mounting. I just glue them down with JB Weld epoxy.

Im trying to make the lights upgrade freindly so need the holes. Thermal tape is i nightmare to remove a snapped a strip in 2 and ripped off the trace with the leds still attached trying.

Ill have a look anyway nice one.
