    DIY COB LED 'Frame': Ideas, Suggestions?

    Thank you! I'm converting my design to the 1/20" angle aluminum bar. Its 1/2 the price and likely many times stronger/stiffer, and easier to work with. For other who may be looking, here is the link to Waik's thread : Let The Healing Begin! First Grow- DIY CXB3070 After seeing how easy those...

    DIY COB LED 'Frame': Ideas, Suggestions?

    Trying to find some ideas for designing a frame to hold 2x Alpine 64 GT Rev 2 CPU HS/Fans. I will have two of these 'frames', for a total of 4 chips/hs/fans. I want to keep them 2 separate frames to allow them to fit with in the ceiling of the tent better, due to exhaust location. So the exact...

    Suggestions for covering a 4'x4' organic grow - Vero 29's or CXB3590's?

    100 [w] / 2.8 [A] = 35.714 [volts] [v] * [A] = [watts] [w] / [v] = [Amps] Hope that helps.

    Kingbrite Rocks

    I dropped names and RIU. Dunno about the avatar thing. There was no mention of CD bins when I asked about available CXB3590 options. EDIT: CD bin is the higher bin for 3500Ks. CB is highest bin for 3000ks. At least according the the datasheet on Mouser. Maybe I didn't really get a deal after...

    Kingbrite Rocks

    Just ordered 4x CXB3590, 3000k, CB and 4x Ideal holders. Was originally quoted $45.5 per chip, but the invoice was $46.5 ea. Plus $9.83 paypal fees (4.5% of total). Opted to get a driver state-side to avoid the $45 DHL charge. Had to do a bit of lookin for a 1400B in stock. But, I found one...

    Matching Drivers and COBs

    Great, this really sounds like a great way to 'build into' my design, and not have to do single drivers. Allows me an upgrade path. V29s, here we go...until some top bin CXB3590s become more 'available' and a bit cheaper maybe. Just so I'm understanding, I should be able to run each V29 (2x) @...

    Matching Drivers and COBs

    I've been wondering about this, I could really just run, for example, two Vero 29s (36.8v) [or CXA/B 3070/3590s] and still have the full adjustability? Or would I have to avoid 100%; would it push those two chips to 144v/2 = 72v and kill them?? I don't mind 'wasting' some of the drivers...

    CXB3590 1500W

    Hey, great read here! Thanks for all the testing and feedback and deets. I was all ready to scale up my chinese chip DIY LEDs and ready to go the Vero 29 route due to the bang/buck buy-in cost, until I fell into this thread and was made aware of efficiency. :) I was all set to build a 2 chip...
