Ok, hmmmm, see your confusion, those drivers should run on any input. Are the power draw figures the same on both units that are drawing too much current? If you had a bad cob drawing excess power it would only be on one unit, or at least 2 bad ones might draw too much but unlikely the same...

Meh, in your opinion. I'm just an old fart who converted a 1000 plant full hydro system to fully bioenergetic AND hit better numbers, yeah bad curing makes fer bad weed, but you can't polish a turd my friend.

Home made worm castings, dissolve in water, job done! nuff sed! Agro-chemical grown weed will wreck yer lungs, fertiliser residue inevitably builds up in the plant fibres and if yer young and healthy, not much problem, if yer old, craggy, bin smokin every day fer 35yrs, it will kill you, slowly...

Hey DSD, would need to know where you are measuring that 1.4A (at the wall socket or on the dc circuit) and wot mains supply standard you are using (240-110), sounds like a measurement problem or possibly a mains setting problem, if you are on 240v supply and you have 110 drivers you will be...

Thanks Corey, glad you like it, the vero 29 vid (when I get round to recording it) will be covering the most basic 'populated heatsink' design and seeing as we just found a heatsink supplier who can drill and thread to order, I should be able to provide a full parts list, with prices and a list...

Thanks, as to costings? I'm afraid I was building that one for a mate and never really kept tabs of overall cost, I suspect its likely to be around £350 (gbp) but don't tell the wife, i think I only took £260 off him! but those were our used gen 2 luxeons that I pretty much gave him as we had...

No, I opted for 16swg 100mm ally tube, I was having to shave the sides of the h/s down from 105 to 95mm so I wanted plenty thick enough ally to act as additional h/s, that array really pushed our previous known best thermal pattern to new extremes and I wanted to 'belt and braces' that build. I...

Hey VG, the clear half pipe in the vid is a 1000 x 100(od) 95(id) clear acrylic tube sourced locally but found using google, prices vary widely but from memory that piece cost me around £30 (gbp) but was cut in half to make both covers, there is a little scattering, even with the clear acrylic...

How comes it took finding a link in one of growmau5's utoobs to find this bit of the forum??? I'll tell you how.... first you bury 'led's and other lighting' in 'the grow room' then just to make sure its well hidden put it in a subforum; 'indoor growing' then..... in its own sub-subforum 'led's...

Sorry to differ but we use luxeons and bridgelux, far better bang fer yer buck in our experience, vero 29 have just effectively cut prices by 45% and improved lum/w by 20% same time!

Check my utoob fella, will give you a fair grounding in wots needed to home game big watts; https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsuV6VESP68JvxL34OkjQfA will be a new vid goin up later this week/early next featuring a real basic bare heatsink 600w array, will gladly send you all our parts lists if...

Let there be light and let that light be LED's!
