That sounds exciting! My initial QB design sounds very, very much like what you are planning on doing. From the 8 board circular configuration on a RapidLED substrate to the mix of 3500k and 2700k (with perhaps a channel specifically for Emerson effect) to the Bluefish controller controlling all of those channels.
Did you ever end up adding pucks?
You mentioned the heat... How hot are they running? Would active cooling help you more for less than changing out your driver?
What height are you hanging from?
Do you have any par data?
She's so pretty, I just want to know more. Cheers on a beaut of a project.
first thank you
I ran just the 4 boards for a year straight... I never did add color pucks, because I was waiting to see what HLG had coming with added red diodes.. I'm still waiting Lmao!!!
just the 4 boards each on a slate 1 were getting close to 65-70C in the middle of the heat sinks... pushing 110+w is too much for the slate 1's... dropping it down to 70w roughly each by adding the two boards should fix that problem... I'm hoping 50C tops
in veg I run that light at lease 24" if not 30" above the girls.... when I flip it gets dropped down to 18" or so ( I measure my elbow to my first lol it's 16-18")
nope.. I have no data.. I should of threw some money at Ted awhile back to rent the apogee meter from him
( that post in control or general somewhere)
thank you again for the kind words!!
I just love fiddling around with this stuff!!!
