Re: Making a Bridgelux Gen 2 320w build for flower ~

Can I make a suggestion? Run them soft, and buy a couple of extra strips.. its totally worth it. They won't run as hot, which means you don't need any heatsinks. I have two fixtures, I run my first @1050ma and the other @715ma, and tbh, I wish I went with 715ma from the start. If you do the math and...

Re: New build no Heatsink, EB strips Help!

Okay, as you see they're working spectacular! Well, except for 14 diodes on one strip, that never lit.. kinda weird since I thought they were soldered in series. Guess they're not, :lol: Both my hydro-grown and my organically grown are absolutely LOVING these lights. Thinking about adding some repti...

Re: New build no Heatsink, EB strips Help!

Sooo, thought I'd update y'all on my progress :) the rig is finally built, been for a month or so. I had some help from my brother in law and a friend of his. We built the frame out of aluminium L-bars, 20x20x1,5mm. Had some T-bars as well to reinforce the structure, turned out perfect. Popriveted t...

Re: New build no Heatsink, EB strips Help!

Hello guys! Thanks again for all the replies folks! I have a pretty clear picture of what I'm going to set up. Thing is, none of the parts are available: And I've been looking everywhere; Digikey, Arrow and so on. Restock at Digikey is expected around 11/11/19 for the AB-driver and 17/12/19 for the ...

Re: New build no Heatsink, EB strips Help!

Thanks for all the input guys! Looks like I'll be getting that AB driver then, or I'll definitely consider it thats for sure :D i just have trouble understanding what potentiometer im supposed to pick: I know im supposed to get a 100k ohm, since im only using one driver to dim, that much I've figure...

Re: New build no Heatsink, EB strips Help!

Hello again! Sorry for reposting in this old thread, but i need to ask; would it be possible to replace the B-model driver with an A-model? That is, replacing the HLG-600H-42B with a HLG-600H-42A! I'm thinking the A-model is a little cheaper and it's dimmable down to 50% without an external dimmer, ...

Re: New build no Heatsink, EB strips Help!

Welcome. The strips run at ~40V so. 40V x .7a = 28watts 600w รท 28 watts per strip = 21.5 strips So 21 or 22 would be the answer, whichever suits your layout better. Very pleased with the 3500k EB gen II's personally Thank you! :D So i can use the same driver as the example i provided? The HLG-600h-...
