    LED COB bar project

    Running the veros29 @1.05A will make them 44.75% efficient. Each will give off 37.7 DisspW, 16.87 of which will be PARW. I'll have to run each bar with a 150W driver. Any suggestions for a driver compatible with the Vero29s? This will decrease the whole COB consumption from ~1.6KW to ~1.2KW...

    LED COB bar project

    According to the pdf in the cree web site roughly should be between ~34.5V and ~35.7V depending on the temperature. A supplier in alibaba. the company's name is Hangzhou Kulon Electronics Co.,Ltd.

    Same calculations for the CXB3070 AB @ $28.5 (IF) 4xCXB3070 AB x 8 bars 10 x HLG-185H-C1400B x 43.90 euro = 439 + 45.07 shipping 40 x CXB3070 AB x 25.68 euro = 1027.20 + 112.67 shipping 1623.94 4xCXB3070 AB x 49.83 [email protected]@45.43% = 22.64 PARW x 4 = 90.55 PARW If...

    I'll ask him again, because if you are right I'll get the CXB3070s. It is way better! Otherwise I'll go with the Veros and just Blow them harder ;)

    Sounds good, but I don't think you have the price right. I can't find it anywhere that low, the lowest I find it is $36.5.

    LED COB bar project

    Yes I am. I cannot afford the most expensive stuff, well for now anyway. Electrical bills are gonna be lower with the COBs, not significantly but at least... Where I live is hot all year round. I cannot deal with heat that well without spending a lot on ventilation. Don't HPS have this as a...

    Chine most likely, but yeah it can be ordered from the EU. ;)

    LED COB bar project

    Thanks man, I figured that one out myself. ;) After a lot of questions, A LOT, thinking over designs, number of chips, number of drivers, heatsinks, fans etc. I had the time to contact a few suppliers get the prices for everything that I might need, which was again a lot of asking. When I...

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    I am confused again. Hm..... 3 chips from 36V version would be able to run with these watt at this current. Yes? But the drivers' output voltage i higher than 36V, so they won't be able to run 3 Chips at all. Is that right?

    'Next gen' COBS?

    Aren't all types/brands of chips capable of emitting light similar to day light (5600K). Isn't the "cheap" COB from the video just with different color temperature from the Yuji one?

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    I now it may be a stupid question... but Can I run 3x CXB3590 CD [email protected] with this: http://eu.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Mean-Well/LPC-150-1400/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMt5PRBMPTWcaY9Bjg3OKYMlXsqyl0pq4CE5tUcv4JDCpA== or this...

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    Why bother with different spectrum when you only have to change the temp.... sarcastically!

    LED COB bar project

    Man, that a lot of juice! How many plants do you have under the fixture? How tall are they? I am aiming for higher efficiency and lower Dissp.W. According to what I've come up with as numbers even if I am running at 50% at 40 Dissp.W per COB, I still get 20 PAR W per COB which is 480 PAR W all...

    LED COB bar project

    I was thinking about the coverage, COBs per driver, number of chips etc. I came up with something which holds 6 COBS driven by either one 240W driver or two 120W ones for a space of 2x4ft. I know it´s maybe too much but the 3D models help me imagine better what I want, so here it is. Edit...

    I don't know how I missed this thread. It's awsome! ;))

    LED COB bar project

    As you remember my original plan was to build 8 bars each having 4 COBs which in this (196W Diss @ 56%) case would mean 49 Dissp. W/sq ft @ 56% = 27.4 PAR W / sqft. From what I have read this is more than enough. Given the fact that I am planning a SOG grow (128 plants in the 8x4 ft), and the...

    Chinese LED grow lights - worth it?

    Great! That was my plan to, before the Chinese grow light fiasco. Then when time comes Kingbrite are the people! good that I have already made contact with one guy from their alibaba team. ;)
