It may work out as win-win but its a bad idea to rely on only a gasburner; you may get into the situation where you need more heat but cant use more CO2. You can get too much of CO2 which kinda mess with plant transpiration, also with a co2 burner you cant go completely sealed as you will run...

OP: I think this is probably easier than what you think; just add a little of incandescent light. You have to be carefull with how much, and how the light is thrown towards the cannopy, hanging height etc cause they are quite full of far red and infra red, watch out for stretch. Incandescent and...

Might have mixed up with LRS series. Im hoping to measure my xlgs soon, theyre on around 38V which is a bit low for ideal performance and we have an unusually high draw compared to drivers load. Maybe we are squeezing too much of that little extra power out of them.

The qb648 is 56V at 5 amps, for 120w power will be about 2.1A. my best guess is not much problem with the H. 2com: These constant power drivers, which have a wide voltage range and not a set controlled voltage are generally a bit less efficient than MW HLG series; inventronics have a few with...

I need some help from the diy led gurus. @Rocket Soul @shimbob? @Boatguy @grotbags @MidnightSun72 Meanwell XLG constant power drivers. How would you guys power six HLG qb288 rspec v2 boards with them? Particularly the xlg-240w. I wanna put six qbs per "fixture" (that will cover from a 4x4...

Never tried myself but some people like heating matt under the pots for seedlings. Ymmv :) Heating thru combustion creates heat and some humidity at the same time but CO2 may throw transpiration out of wack.

If on a deadline: whats your plan for drying? Is it included in you 90 days? Or is it 90days of light? My best advice would be not fucking anything up; all issues along the way will either delay or make yield suffer. One way of going would be to use autos and 20-4 cycle. More hours of light...

For one strip? As long as you got a lip it should be ok. My advice was that sinking with same size flat alu is probably insufficient.

Remember you need to factor in shipping and cuatoms, both germany and alibubbers, and yeah they be patience trying. You got a link for that?

Will have a look, thx for the driver info, new to me :) 14 oz, around 380g is very good for that space.

T track? You mean t profile or the t slot? T-slot was a breeze to work with but in my strip thread i did it wrong, better to drill thru the rails and mount them strips to the flat side. After that you can mount the rails/groves to a frame or to ceiling if needs be, vest to leave a mm or so of...

With the alibubbers; you really need to contact and confirm cause many times the sticker price may be all over the place, same thing with moq. If you find a good source, with decent shipping pls drop me a line per DM, same thing for complete light, always interesting to see how another build...

Dont understand the question really, running them at 50/70w? Just feed more or less current. They are 48V and have max current 1.4A. theres some dets on the heatsinks in one of the threads. Remember if theres some type of frame it will also sink somewhat. if sinking you allways want a bit more...

If you ever get powdered mildew or anything spore borne... Too many times ive saw led growers in the old days with the sinks boxed up getting PM somewhere inside the light. My advice is to keep any surface in your growroom cleanable. Id rec try searching for the right t-slot in Alibaba, theres...

These are very nice but make sure to get something decent; some of these are shoddy made and have a tendency to arc, overheat and melt. Ive seen it on some lights, not sure if it was Mars or Spiderfarmer. Basicly, dont go online to find the cheapest connector you can find cause it may become a...

Have you tried in construcion places? Standard u profile works fine. Id rec against alu square tube, you cant clean inscide and hard/impossible with screws and nuts.

I think if you drive them hard, like 1.4A they may go just over 48, an XLG-H or HLG-48A are good alternatives for higher amps. Or of course the Xbox lol ;) Never realized that you can series those power supply, can you do that with standard hlgs aswell? Ive done several drivers in parallel...

I just wanted to make sure i could do series aswell if i wanted to remake into a double strip setup. Doing parallel with these makes more sense since they are 48V, hard to source a driver that matches nicely with 96V.

Its called t-slot, available in a few different places, more info in this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/t/3-19-umol-j.1093811/ Again not very cheap but this can also be sourced in china for cheaper. Though you can make due with alu profiles, generally for sinking i advice on trying to source...

I agree that diy can be somewhat ardous but having built with the gla strips, they are a breeze to work with, especially since you can use them efficiently at higher watts per strips= less connections. Notmally i try no more than 20w from a 2ftish strip, i run these at 40w which is still soft...
