I know a lot of very reputable veterans have stickied this thread, and I am thankful for your kind words and support. So with that in mind, i would like to pose a design question. How much 660nm should I use for a 3x6 space? Is it coverage or power that is more beneficial? ( lots of 3w stars...

I believe I addressed the contact point between the heatsink and the wood base. the heatsinks are sitting and 1/8 of an inch above the base on risers. the fans are blowing down into that space and air come out around the bottom so there in movement. but I agree that the design needs to be more...

Thank you. that means a lot. I was not sure if this idea would be accepted by the community ( its wood ...only a idiot would put wood and electricity together..its going catch fire...stuff like that) but the response has been amazing so from now on i will be building all of my lights as wood...

Cool. Learn something new every day. I got it from my old acer computer from back in the day.

My next build will have all of the colors you recommend. There will be one light on each side of this one, so those will be more full spectrum.

That is kind of where I'm at as well. This was my first light and I wanted to do a lot of experimenting to see what I like and doent like. When I figure out a template I am going to replicate it 6x for the whole setup. Going from all hps so I'm excited to see what will happen.

Citizen CLU058 (3x) Cree 660-730nm Meanwell HLG-185H-48A LCP-35-700(x2) one for each bar

Better pic with the light turned down. I really like the constant current versions oh meanwell as they have built in dimmers. ( HLG-185H 48A )

?

Thank you

The heat part i am not worried about. The cobs would burn out long before any heat hot enough to start a fire. Weight is about 20lbs

Hello I have been lurking on RIU for over a year. I have been planing and constructing this build for about a month. I see post after post of CXB3590s in every configuration with aluminum angel connecting them, while that is a great way to get the job done it lacks the finish of pre made in my...

I have a HLG 240h 30a, will that power (3) clu048's cobs? Thank you.

Start with soil. I started full tilt RDWC and got great results but the effort of learning how to grow and troubleshoot mechanical issues at the same time can be daunting. It has taken me (3) full runs to get a good product from RDWC. I tried dirt next and was amazed and how easy it is to get...
