Its not much of a profit, thats for sure, but I'm not looking to make a ton of money, just a little bit while doing something I enjoy.

LOL - don't I wish! Definitely not gonna get rich doing this.

He had a few good ideas, in particular the brushless AC motor (probably his best), but the vast majority of his ideas were either useless (like the tesla coil) unworkable (wireless power transmission) or just downright nutty. Read his essay titled "Automata"....

Glad you like it bro - Happy Growing!

Won't make any difference, TBH. The strips are not chained together, so there is not likely to be much voltage drop from one end to the other. Solder pad are easy to get to, and won't risk damaging the connector by shoving a probe into it.

Use the solder pads that are at the very end of the strip near the label Its capable of more, just not with the load it has. 18-20 strips would probably pull the full potential of 480 watts from it.

If you know the spec, sure why not include it?

This is a combination of voltage drop over wires that are too small, and limited voltage output from the driver. I get ~1 amp per strip at 23.9 volts, so 24.0 (the driver limit) is not going to get you very much more. You are voltage limited to about 1.1 amp per strip, no matter what you do. If...

Hmmm.... Seems reasonable....

Brownouts often coincide with surges right before or after, so yeah a surge protector can help protect your stuff. Mean Well HLG drivers have automatic input voltage compensation so a mild brownout will generally not affect them. They will keep right on chugging as long as the voltage stays...

I dunno, possibly. It wouldn't surprise me.

Pass. Doesn't even seem all that efficient at ~1.7 uMol/J, unless I'm calculating it wrong.

LOL!!

Like it or not, you ARE representing the company by posting this thread for a light you did not purchase. And for free no less, since you have to return it. Well, quite frankly, no it isn't. Yes, and thats the whole point. "Any damn light" of sufficient intensity will get good responses from...

LOL - I was just gonna suggest you look into dielectric mirrors.

Yes actually, they are. They require a fixture to mount them in and a driver to power them. They are but one component in a lighting system. They are not intended for direct sales to the end user. They are intended for sale to manufacturers of finished luminaires. Well, doesn't really work that...

You don't buy any of those things "direct" from Samsung. You buy them from dealers and resellers.

I like what they are doing - seems like they are using clones of Samsung 22" double row strips. I personally like the single row strips so you can space them out better. I would contact them and ask what they mean by "sun spectrum" Their coverage estimates, however are a little overly...

A lot of people on here don't seem to grasp the difference between heat and temperature. 600 watts of heat is 600 wats of heat, regardless of the heatsink temperature. Two different heat sinks can dissipate that heat at different temperatures, but its still the exact same amount of heat energy...

My site has only been online for about a month now so there's not a lot of them out there yet, but I've been using them for a while now.. Here is my current grow, started under a 6 strip light at 100-150 watts: https://www.rollitup.org/t/new-run-black-gorilla.968602/ And here is the Strip light...
