WHAT'S YOUR DREAM LIGHTS

[coreywebster]

Fused and switched ac input, built in timer ,Built in watt meter , PWM dimming + resistance dimming < switchable between the two, Built for a 3x3 and uses 2 cobs per a square foot ,The watt meter and timer and be switched out to Sonoffs to get the pretty much the same features and makes it controllable via smart phone, tablet or voice commands. I used vero18se's but the fixture will accept pretty much any cob from 18mm to 23mm with a Te lumiwise Z50 2828/2727 low profile cob holders. So COBs from Cree, Bridgelux, Citizen , Samsung, Panasonic, Osram, Soul Semi, Edison Opto , LG, Lumileds, Luminus can be used to populate the light. This runs them pretty soft so 700mA and 500mA usually work out pretty well different brands of cobs 500mA for high voltage ones. Solid aluminum reflectors. Puts out just below 1000 PPFD with the current config using 39 watts a square foot but that can change with different configs . Full blast it runs 2.3 umol/J dimmed 50% 2.5 umol/J. Can be made to fit many common square footage grow spaces, 2x2 2x3 2x4 2x5 2x6 , 3x3 3x4,3x5,3x6 , 4x4 4x5 4x6 , 5x5 , optional far red I will do a post when it is finished and ready for prime time. This is what it looks like with the new reflectors sitting on the work bench . View attachment 4273179

Its a very nice light chief, well done. Did you machine the alu reflectors yourself, those are a nice touch.
Any thoughts on anodising the fixture?

Thanks, yeah I machined everything for the fixture they get cut then painted flat white right away before the aluminum oxidizes. I designed the fixture to last a life time so unfortunately anodizing would look like hell in about 20 or so years after it gets all scratched up. #2 steel wool a bit of elbow grease and about ten minutes once a year will keep the fixture looking nice so in 15 to 20 years I can just slap new drivers and cobs in it and be good for another 15 to 20 years. So I will offer a lifetime warranty on the fixture itself with a clause for paint in the reflector and also one for cross-threading screws those two things wont be covered.

At OP: its not really fair to drop a thread like this on a DIY-LED forum as our own: people like me go fretting and thinking and fretting again and eventually dropping some serious cash on electronic parts we never dreamed about pre-RIU, unicorn farts and such. Damn you, i think you might have pushed me over the edge... Just one thing to do, lets go building.
