DIY Light build

BEACHBUDZ757started grow question a year ago

I broke my HLG 200 light but the driver is still good. Does anyone know where I can buy a quantum board or any led without the driver? Maybe a diy light that uses 200w meanwell driver. Thanks

ouch that's very limiting. 7-15v I mean. that cuts you out from 95% of stuff from grow diy manufacturers like Cutter, led-tech or cre-science :( you only can slap together 10/12 of 1ft strips in parallel, like these, if you want samsung: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/samsung-semiconductor-inc/SL-B8V1N30LAWW/8536576 you can get that driver to pull max ~165 watts, from these. but no reds, and maybe not such a cheap build. no led in board format that I know runs on 15v. much more.

or 10+ (more is better, same with samsungs, they all parallel sharing 15A, so its fine. the more the strips, the higher efficiency and less heat) of bridgelux slim version https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/bridgelux/BXEB-L0340U-35E0750-C-C3/10279851 then you need an alu plate or bars as heatsinks, some screws and some attitude to adventure and willing to study a bit ;)

Howdy mate, can you tell the exact driver model? Given that you say 200w it will probably be ELG or either XLG series, and their variants. If you know the voltage and current it puts out, I can recommend you something, recently built 2 for me and my growmie based on similar drivers. Are you US or EU based?

Light source change stress?Can changing light source cause stress to your plant? Yesterday I changed from a CFL to a 150w Mars Hydro LED and this morning she looked a bit "sad". I took the photo straight after watering hence the damp soil.

Grams/watt I notice that the grams/watt calculation might be misleading. For example my 2500w light puts out actual 530watts. Should this not be the way its actually calculated or am I the only one who thinks so?

Longer Light Cycle - Mid Bloom Is changing the light cycle of an autoflower from 18/6 to 20/4 in mid flower too stressful? Doing so would bump my DLI enough to keep my existing light through harvest. She sleeps like clockwork but less so now in mid flower. Will she adjust in a couple days to a longer day?
