Re: EB Gen 3 Slim maximum humidity?

I run my regular EB Gen 3 strips in a 64-70% humidity veg tent without issue. 100% humidity on any open electronics is going to have problems long term, my friend who made a DIY highland chamber out of a freezer had his lights mounted outside the box with a plexiglass cutout on the top of the freeze...

Check out the post I just made about an EB gen 3 4x4 build to give you an idea on driver pairing. My best recommendation would be to develop an understanding about the LED strips you are using and the drivers you want to pair them with, there are countless resources on this site. This video series w...

Hey gvbz, awesome job on that light!
I'll have to look into EB Gen 3's for a little veg box in my future.
Thank you sir! I'll post some vegging result pictures in the near future, I'm about 10 days above ground with my current seeds and so far growth rates are damn near the logic 660s.

Re: Cheap Bridgelux EB Gen 3 480W - First Time Build

Man, that looks awesome! This is your first build? Kudos for having a sparky go over it with you. Nicely done. Much appreciated, this is indeed my first build and I owe it all to this awesome community. About a year ago I purchased 2 pre-assembled ChilLED Logic 660 fixtures for my flower room, so I...

Re: Bridgelux Gen 3 , 3k build ~

Some pictures would be awesome. I'm also going to try and remote mount the driver rather than mounting it on the fixture. Looking to use some wagos I have and wire it similar to the following diagram: BXEB-1120Z-4X4-1.png Regarding the photo reds, this will be for a veg and vertical farming applicat...

Re: Bridgelux Gen 3 , 3k build ~

Hey thanks a lot for your post, it inspired me to try out a diy build and I got these strips landed in Canada for 14$CAD a piece, much cheaper than the gen 3 slims on digikey for 22$. I also found some 6" x 48" aluminum pieces for 10$ each that look like they will make good heat sinks, I believe the...
