I wish I could just dim them all at the same time like you guys, but I have 5 different lights in my closet that I would have to adjust individually. It would be sweet to have a dimmer for all of them at the same time, but I'm not there yet, lol.

Anyone have recommendations for cat 3 sunglasses?

I is in UK and bought these a few years ago from Lidl, the German shop supermarket. Apparently they have shops in US too.
Quite cheap too if I recall. Interchangeable lenses. Easy to change lenses.
They seem to sell them around springtime/early summer?
Amazon or eBay might have them.

Oh I don't have a dimmer for all of them lol....I have 11 different drivers and would have to dim each individually. Soon I will have a panel with individual controls, like an old school equalizer somebody said (if I could even get the sliders instead of knobs that would be cool), time to start searching lol, I do t want the big sliders like a light switch lol

Yeah, I think I will dig around for my boarding glasses if I still have them.

I was thinking about even just turning them off until I get glasses in the mail I imagine it won't hurt any to have the lights off for short intervals.

Ya, the Method's kick ass. I started a thread a while ago since I was so impressed with mine. After I got the 7's, I noticed that my eyes didn't feel like they were getting burnt up anymore. I wear a hat too.
Quantum Board, COB Grow Glasses?
Just curious what type of glasses you're all using with your high intensity LED's. HLG recommended to just use regular sunglasses, but I could still feel my eyes getting fried. Next was the cheap $12 blue Vivosun grow glasses off Amazon, which were a little better, but still felt my eyes going...

I dunno. being there's absolutely NO UV whatsoever in LEDs, I'm not deathly worried about it. I just squint and dont look right into the diodes. Pretty common sense.

NO UV in led's....did you fully jump on board the "UV diodes don't work" wagon? Or were you just talking about the majority of boards you can buy with the white and reds?

I'm talking about the 99.999999% of LED fixtures being used to grow right now, where using some form of eye protection would be appropriate.

Its a pity Teknik is around anymore. In the world of human centric lighting seems like there is a bunch of requirements needed to class the safety/hazard of a product. It boggles my small mind. EN 62471 is something that comes up in my searches. But access to that document comes at a crazy price.
Anyone concerned could look at this summary. https://smartvisionlights.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/IEC_62471_summary.pdf
On rollitup the main concern is getting light onto plants using kits and strips. The vendors of those items do not seem to be required to provide relevant safety data, and its expected the enduser will do the research. And protect themselves accordingly.

Im gathering parts to mount those pwms to a panel.. Sliders sound perfect but my pwm's come with a dial. Ill have 4 dials for 4 drivers@1 cob each. I plan to use kill a watt readings to calibrate settings.
Have you seen any frames, panels, housings etc to use as a base? Ive been looking for possible candidates but nothing at all looks workable so far.

Those are literally made to fit inside the multitude of different sized "Project Boxes" search Google for that and Vuah-Lah.
You are so very welcome, buddy.
