lighting LED Shop Light 135 Watts (Ghetto Build)
- Thread starter Walchit
- Start date
Built another one. I put the lights 10" on center. The first light was 9".
Removing 6 links and a little reshaping of a couple of the remaining links on the center chain make it to where they are all tight when you lift it.
Bought these little rings from home depot for 1.18 a piece. The lights are like 24 bucks after tax. A dollar a piece for the pvc and 6 bucks for gorrila epoxy.
So 82 bucks and maybe 10 mins to assemble.
Hopefully not just a waste of money, found out the leds are the 2835 chips. Maybe 24v?

Just bought one of these myself, and hung it up using 550 cord.
I found this looking for the specs: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/everlight-electronics-co-ltd/EAHC2835WD4/1080-1460-1-ND/6002478
Not sure if these are in the lights.

LOL! Sorry.. Mil-spec stuff lying around. I do want to get one more though.. my store only had one.
I will let ya know how it works out.. I have a two month old Choc Primo, four month old Naglah, and a Lava Scorpion. I'll let you know how the light does with "older" plants.
For the LEDs... found this as well: https://www.ledtuning.nl/en/blog/whats-difference-between-3528-and-2835-led-strip
I think they are 24V per strip.

Love how we Kansans are saying " F*** the grow lights... we're using shop lights from Wal-mart.
I could use those. Been thinking of expanding my grow area with shelves.

Hey, I think I can see Walchits' house from here.
So I got all the new strips in and now the blue and green got crossed somehow(drill?)
Then I forgot to hook up one wire of the cool white, when I hooked it up the psu went into protection mode. So I dimmed the warm white about half way and it works fine. I must have reached the limit of this Xbox 360 psu, I have a bigger one I guess I could put on there.
