[michael007]

Has anyone set up an ats with these units. I cant seem to find a supplier that actually can ship them worlwide....??

any help would be appreciated...

I have one.

[michael007]

and your thoughts sir........
quality of led, heat...
Have you the '3 bar' 50w grow bar....
Im thinking of using two of these on my sm100......

[SantaMonica]

Good light, works good. I only have one. Fans pull in water, so keep it dry.

I have two 3G 50 watt's

Works fine on my SM100 clone, just be carefull with water contact, fans are a bit noisy, but light spectrum and intensity are fine. Currently running 12 hours..

thanks guys. I get massive salt creep on my t5's at present so need to have a bit of a think.... once again....... one must wait for this 'new technology' to appear before making changes... ha

I built this for the e-shine fixture

notice the covers for the fixtures and cutouts for inserting something to protect the fans.

flow tested it last night...a few tweaks needed.

Yeah mate I did see your build.. Awesome job. ! Thats what put me on to them. They seem really helpful and happy to pretty much build what ever I want. They even have a 4th generation tank light with sunrise/set functions.....I was told they use old tech crees though.......

Hey Floyd....
What leds are in your 50w.. I was inquiring today and they sent me some info that says its has 50 3watt leds in it. which is not 50w.... I am confused.. can you tell me what you have...
cheers

they stopped making the 1W array. You can only get it in quantities of 30 or more

[michael007]

Yeah thats what I guessed. I asked them that and they said that the 50 x 3w grow bar has a total of 100w????

[Floyd R Turbo]

Right, the fixture pulls 50W which is 50 LEDs running at 2W each. The 1W fixture pulls less than 50W, and some of that (about 10W) is the fans and drivers
