Thanks @SpiderFarmerLED .
Thanks @SpiderFarmerLED .Good day
Very hot. Too hot to touch. My AC has to be set to 2 degrees cooler to keep it's temp down. Best thing to do is have 2 dedicated 6 inch fans blowing on the sink or set the driver outside your tent if you have one.SF4000 Temperature ?? Am curious how much heat the SF4000 gives off TIA
Again, unless you want to fire up the soldering iron, outside the tent is not an option, last time I removed the driver from the light panel to dim I hung it up above the panel rather than reattach to attempt to dissipate some of the heat, not really sure how effective this is but it can't hurt as it is directly in line with the exhaust fan outlet.Very hot.

Yeah I am aware of this. I was just saying if you want to put in that work, then those are your options.Again, unless you want to fire up the soldering iron, outside the tent is not an option, last time I removed the driver from the light panel to dim I hung it up above the panel rather than reattach to attempt to dissipate some of the heat, not really sure how effective this is but it can't hurt.

I had the taste for something sweet, so I made it from popcorn, butter and sugar, LOL

What a pain in the ASS!!! SF would have sell hard to try to convince me to use something like that. I remember when the options were HPS/MH or T5 HO flouros. Hated the heat. Hated the burn. Went with T5's and that was that. Since then I have experimented with LEDs but haven't been impressed yet. I'll take my flouros for veg and the actual sun for flowering. Haven't seen anything on this thread yet that would even tempt me to do otherwise.
Some pretty huge popcorn buds there, sticky too.damn this crap is good.
They a Sunblaze T5 HO 8 bulb. I use 4 flowering and 4 veg bulbs in both of mine. They do AMAZINGLY well on clones, seedlings, and normal veg. And you can park them 6 inches from the plants without any burn and great penetration to the base of the plants. Current amazon cost? 170.00 for a 4x2. I'm reading here that people are using 3 and 4 of these SF lights in one 4x4 tent? Bwah!!!! Woooooot??? I use 1 4x2 in a 2x6 space with a supplemental UFO blurple and pull the same frosty nugs everyone else is. Well they DO get flowered in the sun so there is that. But still. That cost is crazy for multiple lights.These are an interesting alternative for my seedlings, full spectrum, but sorta a weird solution, passive heat sync, but a fairly warm unit. It's not much output, like 16,000 Lux at 8 inches, but I get readings of like 130,000 when I put it up close. Cost me $30
Really nice for adjusting intensity during early development
Yea, I just put the tester on that unit, it's pulling 60 watts, I paid $30 for that unit, you can dial them down within 2 inches once they can handle it, but it does seem like a pretty warm unit, I think it just holds onto the heat though.They a Sunblaze T5 HO 8 bulb.

Lookin at the wrong thread and lights dudeWhat a pain in the ASS!!! SF would have sell hard to try to convince me to use something like that. I remember when the options were HPS/MH or T5 HO flouros.

These are the one's I'm currently looking at, as I'm getting ready to pull the trigger this week.Lookin at the wrong thread and lights dude
What? This isnt the SF LED thread I've been following? Well where in the fuck am I then? Must be lost...Lookin at the wrong thread and lights dude
In my opinion yes, it is still way cooler than the 600w hps I used to run but im running a sf-2000. I don't know about the 4000 but im adding a second 2000 and probably removing the drivers to outside my tent.Thanks for the heads up .. under the lights is it fair to say it's still a lot cooler that a 600w HPS ?
