Re: F and Q series test build

]Allright the build is done, well almost, I accidently ordered the wrong AC connector so I just used 2 wagos and it's not to shabby :) I tested the lamp for 5 minutes today, and I don't understand why it only draws 52w? 0,7 x 100 should be around 70w, no? However it works, is very bright and this wa...

Strip wiring

Does it matter which connectors on the strips I use for wiring (are the 2 +'s and 2 -'s the same)?

Re: F and Q series test build

Thanks JGG :D

Do you have a link to such a potentiometer?
I couldn't find any on my locally based online electronics store...

I have enough wagos and maybe even enough wire left from my QB's, for a serial build ;)

Got the strips today :D

Re: F and Q series test build

Thanks for your input :D

Would it be better to use a different driver, or do a parallel build?

Didn't spot that the driver is CC :roll:

Re: F and Q series test build

Whoa, strips should be here tomorrow, that's hella fast half way around the globe shipping :D Found some thermal tape in the UK, so shipping here shouldn't take too long :) I've been looking at getting the HLG-60H-C700A https://www.tme.eu/en/details/hlg-60h-c700a/led-power-supplies/mean-well/ to pow...

Re: Minimum required spectrum

3000K is the simple answer. Other than creating different photosynthtic processes in the plant, the different wavelengths also signal the plant to do certain things at certain times. In the blue spectrum plants use up to 70% of the available light, in the orange/red spectrum it uses up to 100% of th...

Re: F and Q series test build

Thanks for your reply :D

This is excactly what I'm wondering.

If it doesn't make sense I'm going to get Q-series, I'm thinking that 4x 2' would be a nice addition to 4x QB288 in a 4x4.
