    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    I am fuckin w it cause I care to understand and make it better, so it take initial thought and ongoing builiding upon that base. I am working :D okay so I def could say that the best is probably the 6 on an aluminum plate (would this work as reflector) at 7a, LIKE SUPRA SAID initially. jsut had...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    It also seems that dimmable would be irrelevant, and I am worried about color change that I have read in a few places. no bennifit if I jsut go efficient I wont ant to go any smaller on the lummens at that rate. I believe there is a scientific measure for to many lumens. Im starting to get it...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    Just for scale real quick whats lumen output of your abs in theory? Il comp then solve for A. I think the higher amount will lead to light poisoning lol the depreciation rate of these lights seems PRetty high, only downfall. I wants more info on optics. :D @SupraSPL They wont charge me till...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    What I am drawing after relaxing and clearing my head( I always Understand my readings better high, even in college) is I kinda have two options I noticed you ran the numbers for the low currents for the Hlg185 I was looking at. Lol perfect, so now I think that either the 1050 or 700 are...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    @pirg420 I Remember reading Supra saying Cb were the best of the cxa model to be released, so that is what I ordered of the cxb It was highest bin I saw listed for release. Im a bit confused, but it seems I should pick highest v possible to reduce current and resistace to increase efficiancy as...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    Is the dimmer part of the Unit or is it a chip add-on you need to plug in? I think I will getting 2 of the Hgl185c, but i would like to see lumens at draw with the driver. I am a bit confused, I think what I learned from what I am reading is the amp that the driver runs affects the efficiency of...

    COOL INFO ON DRiVERS AND DIMMERS. 3.3 ELV Conclusion: Improper pairing of dimmers, ELV transformers, drivers, and LED loads can lead to any or all of the following problems: • Providing insufficient resistive-type load to the ELV transformer output can lead to output instability and light...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    Just to make sure I got this right its AxV=W so if i am running 3 lights that would be a higher w per led, right? That would push up lumens and dropp the efficiency rating a lil. but if You had suggested 3 before, would putting 3 on that driver just increase the wattage per light? I would say...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    I am thinking The cbx but 3070 or 3590? @SupraSPL Could you help me run the numbers and let me know the best efficiency and amp? if I should maybe use the HGl-600 by mean well and run all of them? or what youd recommend on setup. I was thinking 3 rails with two lights or or 2 lights with 3...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    There is just a slight variation in the model number, it has an H b4 the bin and 30"g" at the end. I dont see that On the data sheet I pulled it showed ab at top bin, maybe I am looking at outdated info? the link I posted is data sheet i pulled. I didnt see it on digi. IT costs less :DD is it...

    The cbx i FOund were not cheap and came with reflectors, Acrylic white @SupraSPL for your reflector tests. @churchhaze Thatd be nice get free set of drivers basically. He said the the mean well series looking at that now I think it was 1400 mA supra told me.

    @Blakhash I had the same question boss. Heres a quote from @SupraSPL to help me when asked about dimmers. "I recommend the AC constant current drivers, they get it done in one step very efficiently. I do like dimmability in general though, could come in very handy especially in veg. I...
