nice build scotch..........................bet your just itching to jump in, how many days left friend????Figured I'd bump this thread with what's new over here. Replaced my 120-160w SGS with dimmable 43-91w of 5000k AD cxa3070s, 3 for the area (~2x3') @700mA running on a hlg-80h-c700a
And replaced my 30ws of t5s in the clone chamber with 15ws of xml2s (6 total) that have on a potentiometer (let's me dim all the way to the point they turn off) running off a mw lpf-16d-20
Both are passively cooled, sucks because my first DIY (my 12/12 panel, was so much more in depth! Looking back there are so many things I could have done to clean it up, might have to REDIY my diy, but it also had a lot more going into it.

Your talking about the clone light? Recycling exactly. Old progrow heatsinks I initially cut to make my own "pontoons" of 660 and 730 for my SGS, took off the old emitters and had the extra xml2s lying around. Connected the sinks with metal clips. And tada. All I had to order was the driver, and even then I have cheap Chinese ones lying around I could have used. Also the separate sinks let me adjust the distance between the emitters if I end up taking a shit ton of cuttings and break out the second cloner.Nice and passive. But, I really don't get the point of leaving a few inches off the middle of the sink, cutting it into 2 peices and having to attach rails. Well, maybe you are re-cycling.
I will be using the sink as the rail. The cost of the rails and the hassle of mounting them far out way the cost of a few more inches of heat sink, in my mind.
But, it looks really good. Is that 66c on your meter?
It is KILLING me lol. Just had my 2nd to last appointment with the big guy. Next one is 13 days before I'm off. I am taken off the piss rounds that day of the meeting- so 43 days till that, but dont want to chance it even though i asked and he said there wont be any last day testing of papers, and today is 60 days till its alllllll said and done. WOOP!nice build scotch..........................bet your just itching to jump in, how many days left friend????
Not many if you want them I'd get Em now I'm sure he's gonna get more with the demand but didn't say so.Oh, good kingbrite is getting in the Bs. They didn't have them when I looked.
it says F on the meter/sensor ^^^^66.3 is over 150F. Wow. Quite a radiator you have there.
I could not see that, is why I asked. 66F? Nice.it says F on the meter/sensor ^^^^
I'm so jealous...that thing is awesome! I'm imagining beautiful fresh cxb yokes on those arctics. First I know of to get to run 4 @1400ma off the hlg.Got the frame built! Still need to mount the LEDs and wire everything up! I'm loving the L bracket idea.
