Lighting Show us how your hanging, cob frames and mounting.

Here is what im getting at the Pots @PhotonLabs and DIY team


this is 100% on the right bank driver So we are seeing both Cobbs running
DC volts i guess im stoned..

.477 So because I have two cobs we need to divide the right .477 divided by 2 cobs =0.2385 MA at 100%

sound right?

Here is the other reading on the left bank pot! this cob was not at 100% opps
I need knobs!!!

The heat sinks are just killer!! Running 90% im getting less than 102F

No im wrong in seeing volts correct?? this damn tangi!!! yes i tested for voltage at the photometers thats not MA its watts

This is the old aluminum plate that held the LEDs on a Mars hydro. I used a pair of side cutters to cut the solder that held the LEDs down and sanded off the remaining material and paint. Then put it all back together. The cobs behind was an impulse buy and the hammers are only when things don't fit. :smoking:

Hammers and things that don't fit is what I call "Impact Technology". I Use it all the time and find it can be quite effective

Wow nice frame bro! Love the wiring too. Is that just a protector? Looks like a mechatronix heatsink as well. Great job. Max rep

It was initially meant to go in a 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 cab that has not eventuated, yet.

The frame was a piece of alloy sheet lying around that I got creative on.

The wiring is done in spiralwrap mainly for tidiness.

The hole in the middle is for a diffused fan.

The light is adjustable from 25w through to 220w.

A shout out to @Dion and @Roasty McToasty for their efforts to DIY LED's.

Let's have my DIY light here also; 4x Citizen CLU048 1212's at 4000K CRI80. First ever built I've made and it was fun! Maybe later I will be making more of these when I have extra cash.

That's what this threads all about. Nice work medgrower! Looking at self made cob lights never gets old.

Well, here's my little 20" x 40" frame with
3) CXB3590- 3500k cobs on a HLG 120-c1400
3) Vero29 - 3000k cobs on a HLG 120-c1400.
I am not sure if I have the right Kelvin rating cobs. I'm trying to use as an all around fixture. Should I add or do something different? I don't seem to get as much growth as compared to a t5 in veg, or an LEC in Flower.
