I was trying to get it all linked up to a arduino but had to take it out. The drivers weren't as compatible as they could have been. Didn't want to waste the drivers..this looks great! so every channel is controllable through the arduino? have you build in network access?
Looks like space shuttle with those reflectors. Looks great.So, 215w 4000k and mix spectrum. Illuminati gluttony....gsc x pestilence, already a week or so into flowering.
And thats that, runs cool and pretty quiet....

Nope...no timers this round. Always onso how long are the far red and uv leds on each day? are they controlled by a timer?
Need to check the reflectors again..sometimes i rush and miss a phlange that twists in. Gotta be careful with plastic holders also, more than a little torque will distort the plastic....will be making adjustments..new light...Looks like space shuttle with those reflectors. Looks great.
I see the left reflector is leaning to left and right reflector to right. Not sure if this was because of how photo was taken or intentionally done for even coverage
...storm and typhoon controllers need a FTDI adapter or similar ...to restore, change or update the firmware... or backup the embebed firmware or code...

...add more money to total cost of storm or typhoon...
...but seems to me ...yours plans go only on plug and play mode ...actually..
...do you have the FTDI adapter or similar?... ...for gg and pos...
...only for curiosity...
saludos
Thanks gg, haven't tried it on the typhon yet, probably be a little while before I get to it. I usually get burnt out on building things for a little while, then eventually I get itchy to make another..haha. Always some way to improve the lighting it seems. Peeps i'm sure think I'm competing with them...I'm not...just competing with myself..Awesome job POS. Your silver bullet is chambered and ready to go.
I am waiting on the jumper cables for my storm controller so I don't have to solder directly to the pins, but it's super intuitive and easy just messing around with nothing connected. It is arduino compatible so I do wonder if the converter would work with the typhoon.
Hi bigljd!Ah, that makes more sense. For some reason I was assuming the COB driver was powering the LDDs. I wasn't planning on running a separate 12v DC power supply, so I don't think the LDDs would help me. I might still add the deep red LEDs, but if I do I'll get a cheapo driver to run them on a separate circuit. Thanks for taking the time to explain!
Those diffuser in the reflector are raising Tc by 20 to 25 degrees. Diffuser transmission loss 5 to 10% and then another 5% loss due to increased Tc.So heres the silver bullet finished. My beautiful cover got crooked..lol. May have to bodywork it a little. Its all good though, everythings secure and together.
I'll break down all the parts when I got some time. It'll take a bit to put a nice list of parts together.

Been playing with them a little... Heatsink temp went up with the diffusers onThose diffuser in the reflector are raising Tc by 20 to 25 degrees. Diffuser transmission loss 5 to 10% and then another 5% loss due to increased Tc.
Those diffusers do not seem to help much and reduce 15% photons and reduce Cob life due to higher Tc. Seems they are not worth it unless you want to cover the cob. Or may be worth it if you are not careful and have random stuff coming near LES and catching fire.
I think glass Optic lens will also increase Tc depending on its size and distance from LES.
Edit: my bad. I was testing at 2.25a 40vf. The case temp rise would be less for you as you are powering your light at lower current.

1) Input voltage of these DCDC regulators is 32V max - unsuitable for most of the COBs setups. There are better choices.Hi bigljd!
Maybe off topic a bit late but this Wire Leaded DC Regulator from Recom R-78w for 8,50$ is what you looking for.
http://www.digikey.de/product-search/de?x=24&y=6&lang=de&site=de&KeyWords=Recom R-78w
Here is a small example:
http://www.digikey.de/videos/en/vp/4007344698001?WT.pn_sku=945-2204- ND&WT.z_part_id=4930588&WT.z_video_source=Part_Detail
For driving a fan with 5V, 9V or12V. The regulator receives its power from the LED driver(6,5-32v). It works good with a single led driver and take only the current it needs, but there is no way to use it with a hlg-120H/185h-Cxxx models.
For me a bit too expensive to drive only one fan because a small 12v driver and a fan controller costs about the same.
Yeah Alesh!1) Input voltage of these DCDC regulators is 32V max - unsuitable for most of the COBs setups. There are better choices.
2) You can use a DCDC regulator with high voltage drivers, too. Just make sure it can handle at least Vf of one COB and connect it parallel to it (shouldn't be a problem unless you run 72V 3590s).
I'm still searching high and low for those ledil reflectors..where'd you get 'em?
Done..recycled heatsink with a few choice leds did well as expected. good light....Hello Positivity,
So how are the plants doing? Great looking light and thread so far, but it's been 20 days, do you have any new plant photos dropping soon? Keep up the great work!
Sincerely,
ILovePlants
Nice.. I like to see different approaches. Cpu cooler should do a good job of keeping the cobs happy.this is my 200W LED set up.. just for a different perspective . each 3070 is running at about 105W's
