Glad you finally made it mate

Yeah, I wanted to stay in contact, bro!.
I've just not enough time ... like almost always!
I'm lucky when I find a few hours here and there.
For the same reason I still work on my new lights, lol!(4pc 27k HL boards + 48w UV) DIY heat sinks and housings are almost done. Next thing is building the driver case for 4 MW drivers, the Sonoff timers and DC power meters to hang it outside the groom on the wall. Maybe I will integrate an Ilumi Meshtek controller when I can find the 4 channel 1-10v controller somewhere. .
Working slow leaves at least more time for improvements.
As soon as I have the permissions I'll upload a few pics..

The illumi product looks pretty good from the short amount of time I have seen it in action. I really like how it has the built in battery.
You had a pretty insane set up before hand so I'm keen to see what your next build is like.

I should get time in a few weeks to run a good thread about using IES files and Dialux.

I think I need to make some videos on other topics such as driver power factor and efficiency so people can see how it actually works in real life.

Day 12:
Bumped ec to 0.7, ppfd to 300...

I posted this on the “General” section, but ibet my riu buds haven’t even gone over there yet, so i’m posting in here, jic...



Hey dudes, i have one of these to measure and set height on my uvb tubes:
It works great, but price is $$$ for some people. So @chiefrunningphist on riu asked me to buy one of these (free app for i-phone/android), and compare to my meter:
Here is one of crp’s posts explaining his rationale:
I tested it under a single 4’ tube of these:
I let my light warm up for 15 mins, then ran the meters side-by-side, here’s what i got:
Line-of-best-fit (plug target uW/sq cm as “x”, tells you target UV Index value):
