true, but how much more rad it would it be if it did it smoothly
Dude, real rad ...parts cost would add up pretty quickly though. Id need a different driver type and various relays, preferably solidstate. Ill tease the idea though and look at parts maybe after a few grows and solid schematic /c++ codetrue, but how much more rad it would it be if it did it smoothly
I am very much into electronics in the educational aspect. I may have some required projects arise soon. Might be a good excuseyeah, would get out of control cost-wise – it would only be worth doing if the electronic side is a real hobby for you – it would be hard to justify from a "grow-only" perspective. Still rad though
Good man! I'll be lurking with interestI may have some required projects arise soon. Might be a good excuse
Nice garden...but be careful with the old mycelium cakes....lot of bugs love that stuff...plants looking good under the light. not going to into flower quite yet

spent cubensis BRF cakes in the pan on the bottom, about to top dress the girls some more. high N & P
I saw these on alibaba and they are lm561c diodes. Another riu member designed these and they are available from ebay and Alibaba now. Guy was trying to sell them but without proper status advertising he was unsuccessfulThese drivers are only 86% efficient according to this datasheet i found... yuck... upgrade EVENTUALLY
Datasheet: it is the 23w lm415 on page ten but that is the unit's name, not the LED used. The LED is still a mystery.

edit: im fairly certain these are samsung LED. in the datasheet if you scroll down to the largest strip version you will see that it is made of samsung LEDs. above that is pages of COB type is only citizen LEDs. i doubt they used a different brand for the strip sizes then.
I think I know the ones you're talking about but these are different. These are made in Italy by tci. I believe the RIU designed strips were a ripoff of these ones. Chips might be the same but the strips are definitely not a side project of a riu member.I saw these on alibaba and they are lm561c diodes.

The LM561B just has lower lumen output not to worry. I like 3000k for flowering. I would go for 90cri if it is available more red and UV in that one.I checked with TCI, it seems that they are using LM561b (quarter)chips...just bought the 3000k, would you think it will be ok for flowering? Specifically I will be supplementing my diy 2xcxb3590@1400mA light with these 5x23w TCI led strips for 3ftx3ft ..what do you think?
I use the flexible version and they dont stretch at all. I mix 5000k and 3000k in one fixture for all my lightsAnyone who has used these TCI strips, do you think they would be suitable for a small veg area? I have the 3000k diodes. I'm looking to cover about 1ftx2.5ft and don't want my plants to start stretching.
