Re: Awaiting DigiKey Order Over 2 Months, Lead Times Changed 3 Times....
You could always go with eight of the FB22B single row strips. They are in stock. Yeah, I noticed that...thanks. It MAY have to come to this, but it could add @ $100 to my total light cost, as I've already received my heat sinks from www.heatsinkusa.com (2-inch width...FML). I suppose I could cut t...

Thanks, but I REALLY wanted to stick with the F-series Gen3s.sdfoster22 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 12:30 pmThey have plenty of the eb gen 1's in stock. You could use those with that driver. No minimums that I can see.
Thanks for the suggestions, to all in the thread.

Re: Awaiting DigiKey Order Over 2 Months, Lead Times Changed 3 Times....
Thanks for the suggestion. Arrow is OOS, and, best as I can see, they have minimum orders that are high. I get a different line of BS every time I contact Digikey...whether this is by design or just simple ignorance, I do not know. I'm seriously considering getting a tape roll of strips, but I'm not...

Re: Awaiting DigiKey Order Over 2 Months, Lead Times Changed 3 Times....
This is getting goddamned ridiculous. I get different responses from different Digikey representatives, their "tracer" emails are a f'n joke, and this is getting stupid.
Besides Alibaba, are there any other options for US customers?
Has ANYONE had to wait 3 months for a light strip order?

Re: Quantum board with a line going dim
To measure electricity use at the wall, you can get something like this...a Kill-A-Watt meter: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Kill-A-Watt-Electricity-Monitor-P4400/202196386 Did you get your "Meanwell" driver from Alibaba too? I have no firsthand experience with it, but have read several times that the...

Re: Dimmers - new user help
Hi, and welcome to the forum! It's a good one. To expound on the Professor's number 2 point, these LEDs run more efficiently when powered at @ 75% of maximum, so the general consensus is that it's better to have more strips running at 75% rather than fewer strips at 100%, to hit the intensity needed...

Awaiting DigiKey Order Over 2 Months, Lead Times Changed 3 Times....
Hi all, I've been waiting on some strips from DigiKey for two months already (Samsung F-Series LT-FB24B 4′ LED Strip)...the 4 foot double-row...and the Lead Time has changed 3 times already! Is this normal? I realize they are beholden to a supply chain that runs on a slow boat from China, but...damn...

Re: Led boards and dimmable driver (question)
Hi, and welcome to the forum! I'm not sure how long you've been lurking, but you should really watch at least a couple of these great vids that explain usage and the pros and cons of using each driver type, constant current or constant voltage. How hard are you planning on running the boards...75% o...
