leds 50w em fonte 250w queima?

bobh2started grow question 4 years ago

To buy leds cob 42-48W 36-39 V 1200mA 3500k, and to cut costs, I want to use a 250W step up with a 24v 20A 250W switching power supply, if I connect 5 cob leds will the leds burn out?

It looks like you try to choose a wrong driver. Your power supply must have constant current output with current that is compatible with your COBs. Also I recommend to use AC-DC driver to plug it in your power socket directly. And I must warn you: do not buy AliExpress leds, their real characteristics are far away from those they write. My advice is to buy Cree, Bridgelux, Citizen, etc. COBs and Meanwell driver.

Yes the amperage is much to high on the 20A side. 4 amps a diode is too much and You will "throttle" the diode. You will need a power supply rated @ 250W With 36v and a 5-6 amp current. The "24v" from the power supply you have will not be enough and the diodes will either not turn on or be be dim. This can be costly/time consuming and dangerous so be smarter and don't cheap out. The power supply you are using is simply not designed for the diodes in question.

Seedling growth rate Plants grow almost 1 cm per day (3rd week). Is it too little or correct? I have the impression that they still lack light (the rods are quite thin and long), maybe I should bring them closer to the LEDs?

LED distance in grow 80x80x160 I placed the LED at a distance of 45-50cm from the seeds and consequently it was about 65-70cm from the larger plant. I have 4 plants Is it ok like this? I don't have a luxmeter and I use the phototone app to get an idea of the PPFD in each plant. LED QB 120w, LM301H

Incredibly low CO2 levels After adding an A/C to my tent I began using bottled CO2 like never before. 20lbs in 5 days. Without adding, my CO2 is at 4 ppm. Yes, four parts per million in the dark. How can this be possible if the air in my house sits at 400ppm? I read that photosynthesis stops below 200ppm
