Pm me and I can help you out. Nice build love those lights.need to get @AvidLerner to build me some led dimmers for the new shop so i can do sunrise/sunset the same way i do with gavita controller hint hint ..
Fuck yes they do.I feel the need to pay it forward so if you have any questions feel free to ask,if i dont have the answers i can prob direct you to a good place to look.

Well start up costs could range from about 450 on the low side to about 550 on the high side.just depends how you build it and how efficient you want it to run.i built for for over 50% eff and it cost me a little more up front. But my 535w setups smoke any 600w hid setup.i have dropped my total lighting power from just over 12kw to under 10kw now and haven't lost a gram of weekly yields, in fact they are going up. My ac is running less now and shorter cycles so i know im also saving there.Still interested in the startup costs of building a replacement for Hps,if a 450 replaces a 600 that's a savings of about 25% so pretty close to 315s?
Hey Six, I have a question, do LED's run as cool as the industry would want us to believe? I am subbed to follow along on this thread and so badly want to make the move for many reasons. So if you'll have me along for the ride I will have lots of questions . I hope ya dont mind. :)im headed north to hunt tonight :)
yes motly 5 cob bars based on driver eff and me liking the 1050ma meanwells.i have some vero 29 gen 7 builds coming soon so some will be 4 cob builds,some will be 6
i think 450w cobs kills 600w hps and my 540w are spanked the 600w badly lol.cost dif is hard to figure,for me its a huge savings on lamp replacement and a/c bills
i will list lins to buy this stuff later ,,mama said get offthe pc haha.
no soldering if you dont want to,everything can be bought plug n play now.i will list those parts aswell.peace
Lots of questions lol. Look out for Jump.Hey Six, I have a question, do LED's run as cool as the industry would want us to believe?

some do some dont haha.the mars hydro panels dont run cool at all,but some of these new cob setups driven softer like 700ma and 1050ma run very cool if the proper heatsinks are used.and yes if you run them properly at high eff # you will see more lumens and less heat watts then you can get with hid lighting.been a minute since i did an update here,brbHey Six, I have a question, do LED's run as cool as the industry would want us to believe?

Looking great sixpack! On average, wouldnt it cost about $2 per watt to build these? I think thats what some want to know.
