    Adding deep & far reds to Quantum Board build

    cree chips(cxb3590) win 23% @ half of the power @ half current it`s even 25% more light efficiency also a 1800K chip is emitting much less green light compared to 2700K and luminous efficiency is not the adequate unit to compare. if we see those chips as an alternative to add red to a cool-...

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    2 in series means: wire output DC+ to + of your chip then wire from - of this chip to + of the second chip then wire - of the second chip to DC- of the drivers output spent some time to learn the basics in the internet - before yo:ou risk and electrocut your life

    Adding deep & far reds to Quantum Board build

    above driver is 10W/300mA constant current - and you see 3 x 100W chip with the same driver: this is 5 x 100W chip + 1 x 50W (on the right) ---> only 50mA each chip and i still see good low voltage consistancy Since years i diy with this spectrum (among others) to grow sucessfully...

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    three of what ? --- do you mean 3 of those^ drivers for 4 x CLU048-1212 ??? then you should use only 2 drivers to drive 2 x 2CLU048 in series. have a look to the datasheet - and you see, that your 4 chips will drive out a total ~ 65W @ 500mA (<20% of max current) very good efficiency and no...

    Please help with odor control, day 46 of flower and I could smell weed outside my house today

    tell your company that you want to prepare hot water with electricity - and may be they are glad to offer you a special tarif. i use watercooled led light in combination with a heatexchanger and i prepare lots of hot service water every day... 9 yards sound like min.2500W ---> 500L of hot water...

    the cardboard box let the air come in - and the light doesn`t leak outside

    Please help with odor control, day 46 of flower and I could smell weed outside my house today

    :peace: you need negative air pressure (pasive income hole covered eg. with a cardboard box against the light) - pulling out with both fans in a row if necessary. i once had the same problem - and found it much better to put ona gel or other room ambients on a rag inside a bigger plastic bag...

    Quantum Boards or COBS?

    :peace: if you read that vice versa you get the ~ right numbers. led: 25-30% light MH or HPS bulb: 20-25% there will ! never ! be a led chip with 70% light efficiency and today you will be lucky to find a 30% efficiency of the produced light. as i watercool my leds - i know it`s pretty simple...

    Adding deep & far reds to Quantum Board build

    sorry - this is chinise epistar - never found any professional datasheet of these chips you find this chip everywhere on alibaba and aliexpress eg. https://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/DIY-Grow-Light/2335145_511909490.html?spm=2114.10010108.100008.24.4cbe57892u537H

    Adding deep & far reds to Quantum Board build

    That`s 3W epistar full-spectrum chip ~ 1800K // 12 in row / 9 paralell (@30W) if you drive them < 100mA - they are pretty efficient like all chips @ ~ 13% of max. load.(700mA) can cost you something like 1,30US$ / W

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    :peace: I never worked with this driver, but i guess and estimate, that you are hard on the edge...specially with a cold start in the (winter)morning, you risk to see your leds blinking...and your driver is not able to build up enough voltage to drive through 1,75A - normaly it helps to dimm...

    Will this Mean Well power these COBs?

    i would invert 3 more chips - and drive 2 rows with that driver- to have better light efficiency, heat management and lower Vf.

    What`s that ? the exception confirms the rule sometimes the most stupid farmer is harvesting the biggest potatoes... in the sense of "ONENESS" --- GOD is not always clever, smart and fit - but always wins the race somehow.
