Wait! They should emit white, sorry had to look at spectrum graph twice. I'll definitely look into these!

If j wanted to include a fan.... Could it be run off the same driver?

I'll be replacing 4 x 24w tubes. Not sure if that changes much. I'm also looking for LEDs that shine white as this will be in my office, I'll go nuts with red lighting of those LEDs you mention emit it

I'm no electrical genius, which attracts me to these builds is their simplicity.... silly question to those with more expierence:

can I run a small fan from the driver that is also powering my led strips?

Unkle and Shimbob, thanks for chiming in, i dont take this as being rude at all. These components costs add up quickly and I'd prefer to do this once, and right. I could use the same driver and add a couple of more strips and should be good to go methinks. And sure i can drive them at 75% or 50%, wo...

For the sake of being safe, I input 100 percent load into the build formula and chose an adjustable driver.

OK, i found the strip led build tool and compiled this: 8 x 12" samsung led strips 4 x LT-H282D @ 3000K 4x LT-H282D @3500K ‎HLG-120H-24B‎ driver, Do you all think i will need heatsinks for this? could i simply mount the strips to an aluminum frame with thermal tape/paste and that would be enough for...

Hi Team currently using a 2' T5 fixture, 6500K 4 x 24W bulbs. Was looking for a suggestion for a build/kit that could cover a smaller space, 2x2 or even 2x1. Just for going above my desk to light up some plants i have in the office. i origionally posted in cob leds, but realize that the heat sinks a...

Hi Everyone, so part of me wants to skip the hard work and buy the HLG- 550, but part of me wwants to do the hard work, and learn things by assembling my own strip based build... im torn... can someone explain what the differences are between the builds that ledgardener wrote at this link? http://le...

Hi Everyone I'm interested in indoor growing in a 4x4 space, was curious about running HPS in the 600 - 1000w range but realized that will be too hot, use up too much energy and will lead to me needing to run an air conditioner etc which will just increase operation costs, no thankyou. I'm basically...
