Need a point in the right direction for SOG

[travis11952]

Hey everyone hope you are all enjoying your day.

I have done a good amount of research so i have ideas, but i wanted to cover 4, 4'x8' areas for a SOG. Looking for more suggestion on cost efficient LED's as i need a lot of them. Usually use HPS so i am new.

help if you gave use a budget bro

I was looking at hlg550’s and though they were kinda expensive

cheapest way to get QUALITY LED $/watt would be

https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/collections/quantum-boards/products/qb96-elite-v2-quantum-board-engine

32 of those

https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/MEAN-WELL/HLG-600H-54B?qs=5pLaOnqdcwNCvIm/bJMCow==

8 of those

wire them in parallel. 4 per driver. each one over a 2'x2' area.

would cost about $4640 total

get you 4800w. $0.96 per watt

you won't get cheaper than that.

stripes would be cheaper, and you won't need expensive heatsinks

i've been looking into strips and to me they seem about a dollar a watt to set up

 

[WeedSexWeightsShakes]

i think qb132s and 120s are the cheapest
dont need a heatstink
if you really want to be cheap dont need a frame either

thats true. haven't seen those in stock in a while though.

4800w for 4x8 ?



& I thought I went overboard on lighting

He said 4 4x8 areas as in 128 sq ft

I believe they are coming out soon. Another member on grass city just got some before they sent them to amazon.

I missed the x4 part

you can light up that space with just 5-6 FB24B and a hlg 600 per 4x4 and still have higher efficiency than those 2,2µmol/J he would get with your solution, i would be surprised if that's not possible for under 500$ per fixture

you can run those at 100w without any aluminum for a heatsink? thats impressive, i had no idea.

still at $60, six of those is $360, plus the $170 for the driver. $530 per fixture

he would need 8 fixtures, $4240

saves him $400 off of my solution and he has no added reds.

but yes it is cheaper

 

[sethimus]

no you need some u bars, but those are not that expensive

 

[pulpoinspace]

no you need some u bars, but those are not that expensive

so he would need 48, 24" aluminum u-bars? 168 feet of aluminum. i think that would put our solutions around the same price. like i said, i'd go with the boards they have the red and far red diodes built in.
