:smoking:--all's well enough Step, thanks! ... busy season, don't ya know ay?

>>> @HLG2 -- Robin, is this you? Cheers mate, thank you too for joining in the fun! ... looks like you two are up to all kinds of Good-


>> -- I figure that pin heat sink design is all about high surface area/low volume and still have some structural rigidity-? HLG mates, what metal is used, Al alloy? Al alloy's have among the best heat conductivity I think,...

Party hard!!

I've got a question for you guys @HLG1 , how would the quantum board lighting stack up as supplemental lighting for an outdoor greenhouse? One of my neighbors is going to grow though the winter and is considering supplemental lighting for his greenhouse, are your lights waterproof/dustproof or would that be something for him to consider? Have you guys done any lighting with these in greenhouses or commercial settings (sorry if this was asked already.)

Currently HLG 550 is not waterproof. There are some commercial greenhouses that use our HLG 550 lamp.

We have an upcoming waterproof fixture specifically designed for greenhouse

That's great! Are your lights UL certified or is that something you guys have considered (or is it even necessary?)

@Waira
Pin heatsinks offer a large surface area, less weight, air flows more easily than extruded heatsinks. Ideal for a concentrates heat source.
Copper would be great as it has high conductivity but too expensive. Aluminum easier to machine and has great thermal conductivity. Anodization on aluminum allows us to further enhance cooling.
