4x4 Tent Samsung F-series advice
Posted: Wed Sep 25, 2019 5:40 pm
Hi guys, been lurking around a bit, finally decided to pull the trigger and start my own DIY LED build!
Looking to build a light that will fill a 4x4 tent.
Trying not to be too ambition for my first build, so sticking with the provided '4x4 Samsung F-series build' using the 4ft strips.
The build recommends using the 4 of the wider 40mm strips with two rows of diodes (SI-B8VZ91B20WW)
Issue is I cant get my hands on any decent heatsinks or 40mm wide U-channels. On the other hand, I can easily find 20mm U-channels so I'm leaning towards using 8~10 of the 18mm wide strips (SI-B8U521B20WW).
Planning to put some Autos as well as veg a couple of plants, and I've been told 3500K would could provide a spectrum for both veg and flower. Anyone have experience using this spectrum for both?
Was guessing this will also help with coverage/distribution. Question is, will the recommended HLG-480H-48A still be optimal for the change in the setup?
Grateful for any advice/recommendations!
TLDR:
1) 4x4 tent, lookin to use provided build
2) 3500K spectrum for both veg and flower?
3) Can HLG-480H-48A manage 8~10 <SI-B8U521B20WW>
