You arent making a whole lot of sense.why did you edit that you speak english no good
“You're the one who said 10-20% extra for fans to cool your light”
learn to read and beat it retard lol
So you've called me gay (homophobic) stupid (demeaning) and retarded. (Hate speech). But I'm obsessed with you? I'm meerly replying to your posts while I smoke a joint and chill in the tub. You keep coming at me. It's all there. All I said in the other thread is you'd pay big money for that computer fan which by your own accord is 100% true. You stated you'd pay 10-20% extra for cooling fans on your LEDs. 20% of 1000$ is 200 bucks ya? That's what YOU said. I didnt make it up so it's true. I duno why youre so sad?yet you keep doing it what are you obsessed with me or something. sorry man there is nothing wrong with it but i just dont swing that way
thats just weak shit you’re doing here. you may be a bitch boy for your mars or whatever but it runs cool when i point fans at it is just the stupidest shit i’ve ever heard. you obviously missed the point of this thread so please kindly leave so some consumers can demand a better product from the companies they buy from. which as you can see is a real problem for some. it isnt for you, fine i got no problem with that. i got a problem with you not being able to read a simple question (its right at the top of the page, its the poll question) but i cant fix everything so i’ll let that go.
Oh no don't disagree with him. He'll hunt you down!
yeah underdrive a fixture right i should buy a 460w fixture designed for a 4x4 and run it at lower wattages? for a 4x4. why doesnt the company make a fixture with higher diode count, bigger pcbs, bigger or better heatsinks and underdrives the diodes to produce more light per watt and extends the lifespan?
And you missed the point I made many times in that when it is just running stand alone it's way cooler than my cmhs. Point fans over it and it's cool to the touch. 90° max and running 100% power.
Probably just bitch about the price of an underdriven fixture.
You dont understand business do you. That would cost way more money and the market is way to competitive to come out with expensive ass lights that no one will buy. Business is about making money. They tell you what you want not the other way around. If you're so horny then build your own board ..? Problem solved
I originally ran that fixture at 150w in my 2x2 tent.. so yes, if thats what you want you should run it at lower watts
just look at the poll question please. its obvious you’re not understanding the point of this thread. so you disagree with me and thats fine now please go troll somewhere else ok?
i can build my own light and thats fine thanks your opinion is noted.
yeah a fixture with dimensions of 4x4 like the zeus harry uses. should i run it dimmed over my 4x4 canopy. like at 300w for a 4x4 canopy how would that work.
they really dont break down that easily but its really not the point of this thread so sure lets not put fans on it but build bigger pcbs with better heatsinks less diode density etc. these are not very expensive modifications if it can extend the lifespan of your fixture a considerable amount.
300w in a 4x4 doesnt seem adequate
havent seen this part. ok lets talk about that. as someone mentioned up there before thread got derailed. 3 cents for a diode, double the amount of diodes drive them at half the current, use bigger pcbs, gonna give you better distribution overall, gonna run cooler with a corresponding heatsink because the heatsink is gonna have a bigger surface area to accomodate that bigger pcb. so whats wrong with that?
your opinion noted again
no it doesnt so i have to drive it at 100% at which point i have 2 options either actively cooling it or shortening the diode lifespan considerably. thats my problem with it.
Just run it softer. I run all my HLG 288's at 90 watts a piece. The heat sinks on the HLG's are plenty fine as is.
Market forces drive production. Most consumers have no idea an overdriven fixture has a short lifetime.
i went with 4 seperate fixtures to run them dimmed because i couldnt keep the heatsink temps in check for a 460ish watt fixture designed for a 4x4. not without actively cooling it anyway.
again i’m not disputing the fact that diy reigns supreme. but another drive behind production is consumer habits. if people can understand in 4 years their light will be at 80% or lower in most cases they may go for a better built unit which may force the low end manufacturers to produce not so low end products and even the mid level and higher end products to get better at thermal management.
