Re: Heatsink option?

Ok....so i just realized ming is a vendor which leads me to lingering question ive been having (which still lingers after browsing the link). Seeing as the strips have been an ever increasing popular format for over a year, why are there no commercially available heat sinks for them? Not that im loo...

Re: Heatsink option?

Honestly if you factor your time in drilling etc as money....its not that much more expensive. Came to approx 250 in sinks from HSU vs 325 in the 80/20 stuff. Thats about 3hours of frame building / heatsink drilling time @ $25.00/hr. Plus a lot less aggrevation im guessing. Still debating on it....g...

Re: Heatsink option?

Nice. For the fasteners, i may be looking at the wrong items which could be why so expensive. Ive never used this stuff before. If you have experience, what would you use to fasten these to a frame of 1010. I was planning on using some sort "L" shaped item so they could sit slightly below the 1010 f...

Re: Heatsink option?

Good catch. If the listed weights are correct per inch on the site, i should be under 30lbs total with frame and connectors. My next issue is how to use the fasteners to connect them all together. Never used this stuff before so im sure im missing something obvious but by initial looks the fasteners...

Re: On/Off switching options....?

Not sure if its the only option but it is the better option. I guess i dont understand why you would still want live power on the driver while disconnecting it. Plus not all the drivers dim to zero or off, 320 and higher? Lets take your typical hid light.....you wouldn't disconnect the cable from th...

Heatsink option?

Was thinking of possibly using a 4' section of this as a heat sink on a FB22b or 2x f562b. Probably running between .9 - 1.2a max with thermal tape as the backing.

Thoughts ... warnings .... will it be enough? My HSU 1" 'ers are barely even at roughly the same power.

Re: Motorized winch/pulley system

Im trying to work that out in my head buts its kinda hard without some sort of pic.

So the hoist pulls on a hook center in the light frame? And then there are 4 pulleys in corners?


Or is the hoist of to the side?

Re: Samsung strips single vs double row

One thing i can think of is that may need to run the doubles a little higher above canopy to get the spread better? Same principle applies to QB's since they are clustered a lot tighter on the diodes.
