I'm about to make several panels I already have the CXB3590 300k's and the heat sinks and I'm making a video on how to make your own stay tuned. Making the video is slowing me down on assembly because i have to stop here and there but the tutorial will be done in a couple of days if not tomorrow $500 just for these but will keep your cobs cool
I've made a quick video on how to wire up the drivers. I'm just do a little editing and will soon post it.
View attachment 1776387 View attachment 1775544 the one on the right is the CXB and the fan has led as well lol.
I got all the photage but editing is a bitch I got too much and need to shorten the tutorial. It's 47 minutes of photage needs to be 10-20 minutes long. It needs to be like the how to wire video.
Just thinking out loud here... My BML SPYDR 600 multi-driver gets real hot. BML put it in the spine with the led bars affixed ~ 1" below the spine Thinking about that, how about risers for the drivers to raise them up? SHOULD make the fan's job easier
Another possibility, BUT, I think you want to mitigate the concentration of heat both from the COBs and the drivers ASAP Raising the drivers SHOULD increase the efficiency of the fan pushing cooling air through the heat sink I put a fan above the BML SPYDR bars blowing across the heat sink side, which, according to BML improved the efficiency
Awesome, man! I'm looking to get a high-end LED in the future, but maybe after watching your video I will be inspired to make my own. How does it compare to top models on the market in quality and price? Hope it's a detailed video, because I'm not much when it comes to building/soldering stuff. Do you think your panel would actually beat out Advanced or CLW in results?
Do a YouTube search for greengenes he has a video where he's running a couple top names and a diy side by side. The diy are better in my opinion due to the fact you can run them softer. They've been using hlg drivers that are capable of dimming so you can run hard or soft anytime you please

I'm a little confused. These Cree chips, are they like a bulb for LEDs (the part that emits light). Do you have a preference between Cree and Osram? How much would it cost to make a panel yourself that could surpass the best Advanced or Amare model? That's a beautiful looking grow RS.
I use Cree and it would run $700-$800 and yes it would kick the shit out of them both here's some pics from today day 23 of flower View attachment 1779542 View attachment 1779541 View attachment 1779540 View attachment 1779538 View attachment 1779537
Wow, that's fantastic. You could make two and still be saving money. I'm really looking forward to your video. Can you add a list of all necessary materials, in the off chance you didn't already?
