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.

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.

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!

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.
