@BigSm0 you rock! RI to CA in 4 days. Holy smokes. Was just waiting on the 4 lights to finish setting up my tent...so them coming a little early was a pleasant surprise. My little seedlings that were under a cheapo shop light thank you.

Wish the picture could show how bright these are...I think my phone must filter it. I have to wear sunglasses in the tent.

I have to wear sunglasses in the tent.

I mostly use #3 shade welding glasses and I own a couple led geared glasses, but don't like them much.

Heyup @BigSm0 sorry if this is the wrong thread but I couldn't find the diy section I posted in a while ago. After some advice if possible. I converted my Viparspectra 600 to an 8x 1212 cob light. She's great been going good over a year now but it's too focused and I want to spread them out... so my question, do you think taking the components from the light I.e drivers & heatsinks and putting then on a panel I have would be OK. My concern is that at the moment there's 2 cobs per heatsink actively cooled. Whereas my plan would be to mount them onto an old 4ft×2ft t5 panel and cool them passively. Ideally I'd have 12 on there but for now i just want to swap what I have. So would you or anyone think that 8 running without fans cooling them would be OK on an area of that size?
Cheers mate

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
I hope 2021 is much better than 2020.

Cobshop is still active and pushing out lights But there has been some trouble with the post offices lately. As a consumer myself I can’t help but check tracking numbers hoping they would show some signs of life. My local post master has told me things are backed up, staff is out with the vid’ but they are doing everything they can. He also told me this current week should be the last week for any delays. Christmas and New Years of 2020 they have seen a 46% annual increase in packages. Anyone with a brain could have figured this one out but they didn’t prepare for it I guess. More amazon trucks then stores.

On a bright note... I have also seen a major increase too. It seems more and more people are growing their own which is the way it should be. When you rely on other people you are at their mercy. Prices can increase, quality isn’t guaranteed and most importantly safety. No one will ever handle what you consume with the care as you personally would. Another part is many growers have turned towards indoor vegetable gardening. Shelves have stayed fairly stocked here but anyone with time check out the (ice age farmer) on YouTube. Such a great guy with priceless information. I’m personally working on converting part of my grow space into a year round vegetable garden. It takes a lot less light to grow food than it does weed making it less expensive and more manageable.

I hope everyone is doing good and things make a turn towards normal soon!

Agreed. I want to get a tent for just veggies and maybe some fruit. Happy 2021 @BigSm0 and AFN. I'm digging the 4 cobs I ordered recently. Cant wait til I got the funds to order more.
