Re: Thrive 6500K strips severely underspec

ERP are a driver company that make extremely small and slim constant current drivers, some of those may suit you. Should I be consi...

Re: Thrive 6500K strips severely underspec

That is going to ruin all my plans unfortunately. The CC power supplies aren’t nice and slim like I need. I didn’t realize there was going to be that huge of a difference between colors. I’d have to assume there is going to be that big of a difference in lots as well then yea? I am wanting some 140 ...

Re: Bridgelux thrive spd

Re: Bridgelux thrive spd

@horst Where are you sourcing the 6500k thrive strips from? I just had to order 200 to meet an MOQ and am going to be furious if they are available in the US from somewhere ha.
