New light for the tent!

[badmofo529]

Figured I would show off the new light I just finished up. This let's me get my other one back into the cab I was originally working with for veg. Now my clone/seedling area won't be overrun.

Here it is, it's 4 qb132 v2's in 3500k (ordered v1's, can't complain about an upgrade) on a hlg240h-c1750a. Fixture is 12" wide x 44" long and 1/8" taller than however tall the driver is lol. I'm planning on adding some extra red mono's down the line.

I had the idea to use eye bolts in the corners to serve triple duty. They are what holds the frame together, hanging points, as well as standoffs so it can be set down without the diodes hitting anything





It's only enough for half of the tent, but I should be building another one the same after this flower cycle

If you have any questions, ask away!

Are you running this in a 4x4 or 5x5? Just curious as I have a HLG 600 in my 4x4 and think about switching it out/getting another one and dimming them. Either way am also looking to add far red as well.

 

[badmofo529]

It's a 4x4. Planning on another like this plus the reds, and if I still think I need more, I'll buy a smaller driver for the veg cab and use the hlg 185 from it in there too.

190w is kind of overkill for a 5sqft veg cab lol

Might as well use this this thread for the other flower light I'm getting ready to build.

Got my boards, heatsinks, and driver from Atreum today. Gonna grab some L channel tomorrow and hopefully get it put together and hung so I can flip to flower Sunday.

God damn it was hot today. Could only handle the garage for a few min at a time, but luckily all I had to do out there was one cut, and drilling a few holes, but I got it done.

Fantatsic build, nicely done! Plants look like they love it!

Just ordered this for 220 Canadian (150 American) lol. Couldn’t pass up the deal

It was such a good deal.....I had to rearage my lights to stop myself from buying one! I talked myself from the ledge now.
I think you will like it. Its like my dinosaur CMH. It may be an older cheaper model but it sure grows good buds

Hey Unc, can I ask where you ordered this light from?

 

[gwheels]

growlights.ca You can not upgrade the bulb it is a kit but about the cheapest 315 with a bulb you can find.

No complaints so far. They get a bit warmer, but that should be expected with a higher diode density. I'm sure the HLG 288's run hotter than the 132's as well.
