New loft build 4 x 2 LED (lm301) (xpg 3)

Firstly thank you for your kind words.

Heatsinks 25mm x 600mm x 12mm are sourced from Hongkong/China. Find them really cheap just waiting time on delivery around a month. Any of the online outlets sell them.
Flat bars are sourced locally. 10mm

Found the aluminium u channel heats up too much for my liking. Especially if I add the reds.

Yes they are lm301. The h influx series. Model S02.
F series better than Q series, even though using older diodes
H influx is a newer strip and best lm/w.

Like your setup, currently waiting on some photo reds and far red cree xp e2 coming in to add to the set up.
As you can see left a space between each strip for them once here.

The H influx best strips are in my opinion,
L06 S03 S02 L09 in that order.

I run a total of 24 strips in a 6" x 2" x 6" area
Each lamp runs of 185 C1400B driver.
200w each lamp.
12 strips in one light.

See the Pacific concept lights now uses this method to run two drivers 320 C1400B to run their strips, which are similar run the strips at 1.4 amps max. Which is plenty.

Found this the best bang for buck in series.

No shit? I have a couple H influx in my veg light — the little outriggers. I think they’re S04s. I love how they come on an aluminum PCB instead of composite. Here’s a pic of my veg light. I don’t know if they’re 301s in the strip though. Thought they had something else but I’d have to look at the datasheet. I love how little power they use. The ones with two rows might be different. I usually wire in parallel, but I like the way you have that wired up and might try something similar one day. Strips are the shit.

Finally added the red.
Not the cree xpg-3 that I wanted. But a decent substitute for the cash.
Samsung 660nm red 730nm far red.

Combo..

Before red added.

Do you use the red for the emerson effect, or do you run them all the time? Thought about grabbing a few of these but didn't really want the 730nm chips

So sorry for mega late reply.

I'm afraid I haven't used then yet for emerson effect as it was all freebie autoflowers. The main 3k light was on 20hours a day.
The red 660nm 730nm was on constantly 24/7.
Got the biggest buds and yield to date with autoflowers.
9oz dry yield from one plant.

Plan to run them on the photo's next using emerson effect for around 5mins after main light out.

Awesome. I've ordered 2 strips and a 35w driver. Do you think 2 will be enough with 700w of qb's?

Think that would be tight. 700w only 10% at 70w of red.
Should be enough, but if it was me i would prefer the option of more if needed.

Far red thread has the calculations whats needed power ratio wise.
