What would you build for a Wardrobe? ;)

confined · Jul 9, 2017

Hey everyone,

can I please get some help with a light build?

I have a 1.9' x 3.5' x 6' wardrobe that needs some light. Now this wardrobe really needs to be ultra stealthy quiet and almost no heat. It has good ventilation, but its not in a room with air-con, so we have to rely on fresh outdoor air passively cooling from a 6" fan with a carbon filter, which I would like to run year round.

I would like to run no more than 250w.

Is it possible to get a light for this area @ 250w that would run at ambient temperature?

What would you build?

Cheers

Bridgelux EB series strips are relatively easy to DIY. They require little(possibly none)heatsinking, depending on drive current choices. They are flat, saving precious vertical space in micro grow cabinet areas. Search the forums for EB series build threads.....I found them to be a good middle ground between cost, output, and simplicity of assembly.

Two pcb board leds on an hlg 240 driver.
Should be able to pull a lb every 60days or less.
4"pc fan exhaust
Passive intake

Im interested in something like this if they can produce the goods.

Bridgelux EB strips or Samsung F series strips. Works perfect for this kind of grow space:

I still cant get over the fact that you can grow under these strips!!

Cob builds with aluminum frames are pretty easy to fabricate. This is my 250w led light. Four luminus cxm22s driven by a meanwell 240 54b driver. A similar version would do your space well. Those bridgelux strips look legit too. Good luck bro.

With a surrounding room temp of 72 my box will run 79-82f. Led is the shit man. I'll never go back to cfl.

I still need to get a circulation fan in mine. Need to find a small enough oscillator

confined · Jul 10, 2017

thats not bad, cheers mate

confined · Jul 10, 2017

you could fit another girl in there too

Nugachino · Jul 10, 2017

Working and secured, yes. Quality construction... Could do with some improvements. I'm still just half arsing things with the limited tools I've got.

Lol I fit 1 clone and hopefully at least two females from the solo cup seed grows.

This setup sits between 6-10°c warmer than room temperature. Though this is in winter. With a household duct fan. And no carbon filter. Needs those things fixed up before summer.

Yeah, I know what you mean. A long as it gets the job done though.

Looks good to me. Just clean up the wiring, scrap the wing nuts for normal nuts, and loose th duct tape. :blsmoke:

Is that plant revegged in veg right now or flower?
