PC Case Grow Box Build using DIY Bridgelux LED strips 3500K

[Mr_Motion]

Same colour all the down pal

I could bore you with semiconductors, electrons levels and photons but I won't

Good to know 😉

Yeah I'd be interested in knowing but I'm about an 8 right now after my third dwarf spliff and I've been awake since 3:30am, so you knowledge would likely be lost on me lol

Everything i guess haha minefield. Does your driver determine your output?

Gardro recommended I pick up the 2" f series. 4 would be overkill in my space I feel. Not even sure anymore.

Lol determine my output it what way buddy?

Yeah I'd grab the 4 even if you only use 2 for now as I can see more of these type of builds popping up in the near future so get the strips whilst you can

Inevitably to some extent yes it will, but probably not to any noticeable degree until you're dimmed very, very low. I don't think it's likely to be a worry mate.

Awesome good to know dude thank you.

Yeah anything will be better than my last light source for my previous grow (the sun in September - October)

Hey buddy thanks for the input, I have a potentiometer attached to the driver that allows me to go down to 20% power, the light is currently sat at 65% and appears fine apart from some nutrient deficiencies/abundance but she seems pretty happy with the led strips I'm using.

Even at 100% my build only draws around 42w from the wall.

I hate to disagree with you but these LED strips seem like the perfect fit for my case. CFLs would take up too much space, and any other type of lighting (hps/MH/etc) would just simply not work inside this build.

Check out my grow diary to see how these strips are performing-

Thirded! For the temperature control, space, power saving and ease of installation they're absolutely spot on for me as well.
