    My fellow Mystics,

    It's here, 🤩 the 450w Quad Board with Samsung Diodes 2 x Meanwell drivers and dimmer. (1290 PPFD) over 100 DLi.

    The ladies are loving it almost as much as I am.

    (I never in my life thought I would spend this much on a light, but hey I purchased half a sun for the ladies.😂)

    420 Love till next time mystics.

      Just be careful with it. Those LEDs with the thin metal plate as a "heatsink" can get omega hot to the point of degrading the diodes. If it gets so hot that you can't physically touch the metal plate, I would recommend having a fan blowing over the whole fixture.

      Ah yes thanks for the tip, I got a fan blowing on that sucker, even then you could use it as a hot plate :D. Turns out it's just that that will save me the money that i would have invested in a small heater (winter is coming). Now, I can adjust the height for the temp and the dimmer for the light level 😄 

      (I modified an indoor fireplace 1.8m x 1.8m x 2m, so i have a nice exhaust for the heat, all in all it's a tropical paradise in there, 29 degrees 45% RH and now I can keep it there drop it raise it, basically have a bit more control off the environment than I had with the now seedling lights 😄 

      I tested the environment specifically for the Malawi Gold (which I will plant soon) and it loves almost desert kind of heat 30 - 37C and 30 - 50 RH, still working on my soil mix, cause they like low nitrogen and high phosphor from seed to flower... So yeah, we will see if I bit off more than I can chew, but at least it won't be the hardware's fault.
