2500 watts. 10 light modules. Going to hang these (along with the 1000 watt 4 light kit I already have) above a new Current Culture uc16xl. Hung 7 lights to a side lengthwise, they'll have about 5 inches between them. Thinking of splurging and putting a dozen initiator pucks between them.

Wow! That's some serious light porn. What kinda space are you running these in? 8x8?
Cheers!

The scrog net area over a uc16xl is about 4.5'x17'. My 4 light sys is currently split into 2 4x4 tents and doing fine.

The boxes along the edge of the table are the 12 MeanWell drivers. With the other set I have, I'll have to mount 16 drivers and 2 ChilLED Drive controller boxes (and a fan) to a ceiling mount board. They'll all be controlled by the small Drive controller that hooks up with ethernet cable. The Drive boxes are limited to 10 amps @ 230 volts and this system will pull 12.5, so that's why I had to get 2 of them.

I was curious if ChilLED was still in business. The website has basically gone dark.
Cheers!

Dmitri is working on V3 now, but it'll be later this summer before it's ready. Meanwhile I cleaned out the warehouse of these modules. I guess it's the same thing happening at HLG (out of stock on almost every item). Too much success, not enough supply! GrowMau5 found a bright side, tho. He'll finally get to spend time getting his garden going!

Cheers!

finally have the system assembled. Boat trailer winch raises/lowers the entire 20 foot frame. I put f-series strips in the 1 foot gaps between the Gen 2 modules to fill any 'dim' spots.
