I've got some of the 56 diode Acuity strips - they work ok. No way to tell what diode they have, but the Acuity web page claims "up to 120 lm/w efficiency". If they are 22" strips I'd run them at 500 mA, otherwise they are going to get really hot with that high of diode count, even with...

I believe that is the temperature measurement point.

That seems to be what the data sheet says. Get the UV tubes.

Yeah, I stripped almost all the leaves off it just a few weeks ago. Apparently thats the only way to stop it from flowering. Almost time to strip it again.

Yeah I see thats system level efficiency, my bad. A similar number of LM301B diodes should be about the same though.

I know I'm gonna grow a big ass plant this time, no solo cups - once a female shows her stuff into the 18 gallon tote she's going. I think I'll spread her out under the whole 2x8 space. See If I can get a pounder this time.

They do love the strips.

You can almost exactly duplicate those numbers with 10 Samsung F series 44" double row strips in 3000K.

Possibly but I didn't see a price mentioned anywhere...

They look a bit like double row Sammies.

They have a bunch of different lines. ELG are cheaper than the HLG, but are derated to 70% power at 120 VAC input. If you want to go ghetto style there is the LRS series, at around 10 cent per watt. https://onlinemeanwell.com/

Whats "yuck" about it?

Like I said, the people that get it, need nothing explained.

Thanks man!

LOL - I get great reception! or rather, my plants do!

Those that "get it" don't need an explanation. If you don't "get it" then its simply not for you, and explanations would be a waste of my time.

LOL, if you're trying to get under my skin, its not working. All you're doing is giving me exposure - for free. Thanks.

I like the F series - for the price you get decent efficiency and good lumens/dollar. The 44" are a natural for that size. 8 single row strips minimum if you're stretching dollars, otherwise go with 12 or even 16 if you got money to burn.. Run them at 400-500 watts.

It went up at Digikey last week, from $15 to $17 for the single row 22" strips, but today its back down to $15, and at Arrow its down to $14 and change. Single piece price.
