Post a pic of your light here lets see the strips.

I'm only running two of five right now. The drivers are remote mounted. I was testing to see if there was a difference in brightness if I ran longer or shorter wire to the second light. They're wired parallel. I never switched it back to the longer wire, which is why those two wires are hanging there. I'll eventually get sick of them and change it back, so they're not in the way when the plants get bigger.

That's heatsinkusa 2.079" profile to fit 3 strips?

Those are the double row Influx Linear line. 96 diodes for under 8 bux each (after the f'n tarrif) is still pretty good. I penciled out a 480W build earlier that came in well below a buck a watt....

Hey Chip, the datasheet says the L09 is 18s x 6p. I wonder if digikey realises they going to be stuck with stock if they don't hurry up and match Arrow.
Wonder what are the pros and cons of these strips over iPerculates strips?

I like CaliWorthingtons heatsinks, but love iPerculates strips and build.

Yeah I know it's not the cleanest build, so thanks for liking. As I said, the wiring can be cleaned up a little.

These heatsinks were originally built for me by SupraSPL with (4) CXA3070AB each. The original driver boards each had (20) low voltage drivers. That system had a few flaws. 1) The one COB out of 20 that had the most voltage droop would flicker. 2) 20 drivers/1230 watts was a bit too much for one driver board/AC outlet. And that system needed active cooling, now it's passive. This is what my driver setup looks like now. WAGO my Eggo.

Ya know, I am getting different numbers from each distributor.
I was mildly drunk(he hee) when I was digging into this, and fuckin Samsung has so many gawd danged strips, the part numbers start blending together!!!!

I think the Influx Linear, is slightly less "gooder" than the H Influx....like marginal lumen per watt difference. Which in comparison to the F series, should lead to an intellectual conclusion that I don't have a fuckin clue which one is the "best"
Ha Haaaa!!!!

These super cheap strips wow. Im checking the data sheet and I need help lol. So it says rated current 1380mA but i can't see min current on the spec sheet....aka at what current does the led stop working ? Am I being a bit stupid here ?
Also the driver LRS-350-48 could take 6 of these ?

I think the influx uses the lm301A which is way less efficient than the B or H. I noticed the Samsung logo on these strips are a tan, sorta goldish color whereas the H influx are black I believe.

Did anyone notice the min current for these things ?

There's no real "min" of a strip. So I don't know what you're asking for really, but the answer is Zer0.

Im just having a senior moment that's all lol. Thanks for clarifying. Surprised the whole led armature scene are not all over these £4 each - you could make a 300w system up for as little as £80 ish....including alu heat sinks ect. (Im talking £ as im in UK lol)
