Bob's terrible LED light build.


Recommended Posts

Hello friends! Especially Tunkers you bloody legend :)

 

This is my light I built from scratch from digikey, ebay and my local aluminium distributor.

 

Please have a look at my light in the pictures.

 

I am a molecamatrician by trade if anyone is asking. Quite a specialised field.

 

This light has a Meanwell HLG-120H-C1050B driver with 6x 2-foot LT-Q562A 3000K Strips and 6x 2-foot LT-Q562A 4000K Strips. Q-series strips.

 

Each bank of 3000 or 4000K strips can be independently turned off if I feel like using just the 3000K or just the 4000K's.  While each strip is in series with it's peer, each bank is in parrallel with the other.

 

Potentiometer installed.

 

Yes thank you I'm well aware that I have more light than my small grow space needs but gaw damn it I just couldn't help myself!

 

Take a gander lads.

 

Let me know what you think.

Saturday harvest and that's my 1st grow with a bag seed plant my mate gave me. Mostly grown under a ebay ufo and then a mars 300 which basically annihilated it to be honest. I'm much happier with this new light as it puts out almost no heat whatsoever while delivering a lot of light.

 

Running at 75% which is about 112 watts when measured at the wall with a watt meter.

 

Roughly 30cm from the colas. Seems like the final days for my plant will be spent in bliss.

can I enquire as to the cost of the build? Is your tent a 1.2x1.2x2m one?
