They have solderless doo-kickeys :D. They're these little plastic clamps that screw down onto the star to hold them in place, just like a cpu. And the wires are also screw clamped. Makes for a very easy removal/replacement. About a $1 a piece. Best part of doing your own though.. you already...

I do apologize then. But when you tell someone to "STFUA (Shut The Fuck Up Asshole)" for asking direct, and sincerely honest questions, well.. you have to expect some hostility in return. Peace? :D

Thank you by the way.. :)

Heeheehee... :D It "started" as a 76 diode fixture.. and just kinda "grew". I started with cheap assed ChinaCraps for the 660nm's, but then noticed something.. See the white thermal "paste"? That's supposed to be reflowed solder. No way in hell "paste" is going to transfer the heat as...

Buddy.. so are so fucking out of it it's scary......... If you'd ever bothered to google me, you'd see I truly am a "Do It Yourselfer". In fact, all I've ever done is ENCOURAGE people to MAKE THEIR OWN!! LoL!! This is the panel I'm making.. I'm almost done.. about 3 more months. Cree...

So why did you say you already posted in THIS thread when I asked before??? Instead.. you were an asshole, and just said "Secondly ,you say you have read the entire thread and if this is so you would realise that I have posted the link to the Oxford journal on here many times." You are so...

Care to elaborate? YOU did not post the link.. beenthere did. In fact.. the olny link YOU seemed to have given, was a youtube link... So once again.. please enlighten me. Maybe it's just that I'm old, and still not used to these bifocals.. but please entertain me and point to the link...

The thing that raised the alarms for me the most.. is the fact that he's using at least 2 different user names in this thread. He can't even remember which one of his aliases he posted the Oxford link under... lol! And if he's stooping to using 2 (or more) aliases.. how the fuck do we know he's...

Those light are too expensive for max.. they actually use "quality" diodes. :D Those are a complete rippoff of what community member "knna" has posted in many forums under DIY LEDs. How to build your DIY LED array...

Congratulations.. you know how to grow. 3 full grows even :D. LoL! That doesn't make you an expert on LEDs, nor does it give you the right to tell us to shut the fuck up. If we want to ask max some "basic" questions, we have that right to do so. So far, all that any of us has seen, if full...

So.. here's E.shine's website. http://www.eshinegrow.com/led-grow-light.html Lets see which model max chooses................

Roflmfao!!!!!!

Also... unless you are a part of maxpesh's company, then you have nothing to say to any of us "doubters". YOU haven't grown with the panel, so YOU have nothing to say about it. In fact.. it seems like you grow with T5's. Guess that makes you an authority on LED? Whatever. Move along.. let's...

Shut the fuck up?? Why do you say that? We're asking actual questions here man.. and max is reluctant to be forthcoming. What has he got to hide? When a potential customer asks him who makes this 170lm diode, why is that "dribble" as max puts it? And why is that secret? People in this community...

That's just it.. nobody has ever claimed HPS is only 15% efficient. HPS does have a 10-15% overhead in the ballast.. that's what I meant by 15% "inefficient". So where you get dealers claiming "only" 15% efficiency is beyond me. Sounds like creative hype. As for linking the Oxford grow...

Are they the 170lm/w whites on Alibaba?? Notice something strange? The numbers don't change.. 1w, 3w.. they're the exact same diode.

HPS only 15% efficient?? I think you have that number backwards.. 85% efficient, and 15% wasted energy. Oxford grow article, eh? Got a link? When you quote a journal or other info that "proves" what you are saying... give a damn link. Otherwise.. it's just hearsay.

You mean "this" press release?: note how I provided a link... ;) "Not available to the public yet" That was over a year ago. My original comment said not even Cree made a diode as strong as the one you were bragging about.. not available to the public, anyways. Cree also makes diodes for...

And the highest to the "public" is still 160lm/W Cree XM. 160lm @ 350mA, and 750lm @ 2A. Show me a 200lm/W diode from Cree.. available to the public.

"Under a typical driving current of 15mA (or about 1 W operation equivalent), the luminous efficacy of 197 lm/W was achieved." Yeah.. ok.. and this from the same company that lists in millicandela instead of lumen like everybody else...
