Supra tried and and it worked, though there seems to be no further evidence.

@alesh Does your HLG-185H-C1400 work with (4) Vero29?

I think those LEDIL reflectors are way too overpriced and add significant cost to any build. Come on, it's just plastic. From the pictures they also seem to be somehow transluscent which makes me wonder about the quality. I think you may be better off using any cheap similar shape and paint it...

Can you, like Supra already did, confirm that (4) V29 work on (1) HLG-185H-C1400? Who else tried that?

Though it works nonetheless.

You decide for the particular current you want to drive your particular LED-chip with. You look into the LED's datasheet to determine the needed voltage to accomplish that current. By multiplying the two values you get your chip's dissipation wattage. The driver you want to find needs to suit 3...

I think this very forum is the worst place to sell ripoff mystery lights. Please just try somewhere else.

5x Vero29 (3000,3500,3000,3500,3000) on HLG-185H-C1050A cooled by 5x Alpine 11 on MW RS-15-5V. I used cheapo painted candle bowls as reflectors and a 5string connector to box the drivers outside. Working great so far, so a clone is in the making.

See, English is not my first language, so I try to make myself as clear as possible. I just commented on your plan "to piss those select few people off" and raised the serious question, if your choice wasn't about electricity savings but visuals since it seemed irrational. You stated that you...

Well, I didn't mean to provoke defiance. I seriously acknowledge your preferences, which I assumed were beautifully looking plants. I now see you are part of the Spectrum Religion, but I grant you the right to believe in whatever you want. There are many growing religions around and that's fine...

Haha. I believe you could have utilized that extra 630ish light of the lower CRI versions into yield. But you might prefer looking at your plants than looking at your power bill. For me the 3500k 80CRI are already a huge improvement over HPS in terms of exposure, but I'm no photographer. Make...

These are Supra's numbers, for the V1.2 though: https://www.rollitup.org/attachments/vero-18-29-final-efficiency-png.3296413/

Build a light that is superior to HPS to be able to get your return on that investment. So Vero 29. I use 3500k.

I also mounted my PSU in that remote drivers box since it only draws ~7 Watts to power (10) Alpine 11 fans at 5V. I am using (2) of those 5m 5string cords to connect to a small distribution case with those connectors on the two fixtures. That is because temperatures are an issue and I wanted to...

Very nice setup! I also love the shape. Looking at all this sophistication, however, I don't understand why you -like most DIYers- mount the drivers onto the fixture, since they add substantial heat to the space. I'd rather put them in a seperate box outside.

Are you sure this works? The Meanwell datasheet states 108V max while Supra's numbers add up to >110V. Does anyone have that combo up and running?

http://www.27bslash6.com/halogen.html I believe the extra cost of the reflectors should be as low as possible, for we should only want to redirect that relatively small amount of stray light within the 179°-~100° range that would most likely get lost otherwise. If few cobs / driving hard is...

As I find those LEDIL reflectors very expensive, I got these candle bowls from ebay. They are lightweight yet very sturdy. For the use on Vero 29 I cut a 38mm hole in the bottom, sprayed them with RAL9010 and will screw them directly onto the chip. Not tested so far, but I believe they will...

Would you guys mind keeping this thread free of off-topic talk, such as "What is PAR"? Thank you. My contribution also is somewhat off-topic, however, I was wondering how digital dimming (as you can do with the Grow-in-Berlin / Lumatek ballasts) affects HPS efficiency. It is quite devastating...

:shock: Are you sure those are Jalapenos? I'm interested in that. Would you provide a picture?
