Re: Best lights for a 8x8?

Thanks. I still have to build 4 more (2 built now) and a 4x4 with qb96 elites for comparing the strips to. I still want to get some kinda accurate reading of the lumens and or lux. The phone apps I have tried are all over the place. What would you suggest to get a decent reading without breaking the...

Re: Best lights for a 8x8?

Here’s some pics of the build before cleaning it up. Please give me some input on how to test these out. I just dove straight into this with no prior LED experience. All my experience is with HPS

Re: Best lights for a 8x8?

1F0A3B4C-59C4-4DED-B89E-691293E4D02A.png First 320 built today. 10x H influx L06 in series ran by a HLG 320 1400B with the dimmer killed for now. I got everything I needed except for testing equipment lol. I used the “light meter” app. I don’t know how accurate it is it’s reading between 40k lux to...

Re: New build H influx - lux ???

Light meter app is now saying that 3 feet away.
Heat sinks are warm. I’m very confused to as why this driver (1400) is reading 2800 at the Wall with killawatt

New build H influx - lux ???

I just built the first out of 6 lights I am setting up. I’m running 10x H influx 2ft L06 lights in series powered by HLG-320H-C1400B. I will be making 6 of these in total but for now I just built one to test. I elimated the dimmer with waygos for now. I started her up with no problem. I used the “Li...

Finishing off build. Which potentiometers ?

I’m just finishing off my builds and I’m looking for 3 100k ohm potentiometers. I don’t want to blind order and get 100ks that read 80k and have to put in a resistor. Can anyone lead me to some TRUE 100k ohm pots ?

Thanks

Re: Best lights for a 8x8?

Meanwell has a 320w model, and 600w models, but perhaps someone smarter can chime in, some of the meanwell models produce a little more then the model number so perhaps theres a model that would get you up to 640 Yea I would be doing 2x 320s. I think I can just run them harder with one model but I ...

Re: Best lights for a 8x8?

Happy thanksgiving all!

I was wondering what kind driver and strip setup is ideal for a 320w 2x4 fixture using 2ft H influx strips? I think I may run each 4x4 @ 640w as opposed to 480

Re: Best lights for a 8x8?

I can already tell your going to fit in well here DubJ 😁 I've been playing with 2x4 veg light ideas lately... mainly using h strips... https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/samsung-semiconductor-inc/SL-B8V3N80LAWW/1510-2449-ND/8536580. 8 of those will just fit on a HLG-240h-c1400 for series wir...

Re: Best lights for a 8x8?

I could try to cheap out on the heat sinks. I can get some 1/4inch solid alluminum flat bars for next to nothing or would the H influx need something more substantial like from heatsinkusa ? I think I will be comparing the H influx / qb96elites / Samsung’s new horticulture lineup which will have 660...
