Just posting this light I just made, expect to see a lot more from me in the coming weeks as I get my strawberry banana seeds in and grow em under this bad boy. Plan to run Nectar for the Gods as well ![Smile :) :)](/styles/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
The goal of this light was to strive for insanely good uniformity to help with canopy penetration and prevent any kind of light stress/burning from being too close (a common problem with fewer sources of more powerful lights).
What do ya'll think? I gotta clean up some of the wiring, but it's pretty much all complete.
Tent temps max out at 79f (74f ambient) and the temp of the strips is 45-50C measured directly center of the strips.
SPECS:
