Re: 4’ lm301b light strip build
Hi unkle_psycho, what do you mean that the LEDs on the bridge Lux strips are too close for the micros? As in too close on the PCB that they’re on or that the power of these things will be too powerful and the microgreens on the shelf will be too close to the light? I currently use a couple of QB288...

Re: 4’ lm301b light strip build
I am looking to do something similar. I was considering using 2' strips at 5000k covering a 24"x16" tray. I was trying to decide on 2 or 3 strips and running them around 75% 450ma. I have been using the "blurple" lights, but the white lights seem to produce better greens, less rubbery. What are you...

Re: 4’ lm301b light strip build
Update: Testing out those 5630 led strips. 6000k version. Here’s the build. Used one roll and cut them to about 4 ft and just daisy chained them using some wire and solder. They’re definitely not as bright as the QB288s and the lighting seems super blue. Has anyone used these for Micros before? I’m ...

Re: Hello All
Nice I like the sound of your set up. I haven’t seen those before. Do you have a link or a spectrometry report to show wavelengths of that diode?

Re: Hello All
That seems pretty affordable! How does the climate work? What do you plan on using for lighting?

Re: Improve cheap lights
I ask because my plants are struggling in the heat as I'm using a 600w Hps Dual spec bulb and i hoped there was a cheap easy fix Goony How come you’re asking to mod a LED light when you’re using an HPS? Do you currently have a LED light that you tried using instead of the HPS? Farmer Linus

Re: Are Samsung F series 2ft 72 diode strips ok without heatsink?
If you run them at full power you would need heatsinks because more power means more energy into each diode and the energy translates into heat. High heat will make the diodes start degrading. But if you run the diodes at lower current, you will have higher photon output and less need for heat sinks...

Re: Would the "DIY Guide Kits" always have to be run at 100%? Plz help
Hi all, I'm confused. On this site, the recommendation is always to run your Samsung strips at 75% or 50%. However, in the DIY guides on this site, each DIY example has just enough strips to cover 30 watts per sqft when you're running the strips at 100%. Are there enough strips in those DIY uides? ...
