I wonder what the real terms difference is between the epistar and osram though? They seemed to be "recommending" me to go with the 320 and Osram... but I'm not entirely convinced that's not because the LM301h Evos are more costly overall How much of a difference to a fixture do the 730/660...

You UK based? Just reading this review scares me a bit though While the spectrum and the ability to control the spectrum is amazing . The light is (very cheaply) built and gets way too hot .you will be burnt if you touch this light while it's on. The leds are small, so it's not that bright...

Fuck, I was in work and rushing when I wrote this Osram on the 320 bar and epistar on the 380... Sorry dude

Anyone?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005843707490.html This is the light btw. Migro YouTube channel just reviewed it recently

Gonna get one of the rotatable kingbrite fixtures They look solid and for my apex shaped space they're perfect for casting light to the sides. The choice I have is between 380 of the new samsung lm301h Evo diodes per bar (total 3800) + epistar 730/660s... Or 320 (3200 total) same diodes plus...

You talking about the copper fungicide mate?

Yes sir, end bar has failed on mine. Not cool

Oh the drivers.. ok, so all things considered better to run a 480w at max and get the 5-550w out of it than overdrive the 185s by that amount then. That's what I'll do. Thanks for the help people, appreciate it

Thanks bud. What options do I have with the Blux strips doing it that way?

How come mate? If there are 24 strips on the fixture, that's only 20w per strip. If I use 26 it's just18w. At nominal current on the data sheet they're at 26.8w (I'm talking about the 112cm strips btw)

Thanks for that buddy. So, theoretically the 3 x 185s can do 740w based on those numbers? The 480h-42A does 540 at max based on the test report, which is all I'll need tbh. At 480w, I'd need 25 strips on the fixture to keep them around 500ma, have I worked that out right?

I can use as many strips as necessary, I've got a load of 90cri 2700k to use and want a flower light that gives me about 500w

Thanks man. So, how come the 42v driver is recommended for the 38v strips? Is it the case that with the 42v driver I can only get 433w from the 480?

Nice one RS, saves me a new purchase....

Are These strips a recent release or am I missing something? 188lm/w at that temp and cri, that's pretty solid isn't it?

Thanks for that, appreciate it. So, for the 38v gen 3, why wouldn't I buy HLG-480h-36A and push it to max Instead of buying the 42v version? What voltage driver would you all use to run the 112cm bridgelux gen 3's? Thanks again

Cheers dude, how much less are we talking about? I mean, if I could get three drivers for the price of two otherwise, would it be a good investment?

Theyre Bridgelux gen3 38v btw One thing I can't get my head round is, if pushing the voltage of the driver to it's max gives me extra watts, how is the power limited by having a higher voltage driver than rated for the Strips? Is it a safety feature? And if so, can I simply adjust the voltage...

Would a hlg-480h-48b model work for my needs? Or is the extra voltage an issue?
