Duh, guess I missed that lol.

Follow reference design, you will likely blow anything youā€™ve done with vipar light out of the water.

Ya, they were sold out in 2-3 days. Like suggested, get on list and wait them out. Samsungā€™s strip is Similar, should be available soon too.

Yes, I signed up to be notified. I think iā€™ll just buy everything else while im waiting.

I would maybe sit tight honestly. If it ends up they dont come in stock reasonably, you may be stuck with other items

I canā€™t argue with that logic.
I bought the strips first. When they actually ship, Iā€™ll order the rest. Itā€™ll take me a couple weeks to budget the rest of the build anyway.

I was orgininally budgeting for a fluence light, but the devil swayed me.

Somehow he always gets me to upgrade my lighting.

If it werenā€™t for him, Iā€™d be happily growing light larfy buds under amazon blurples.

Sounded like you were shopping anyway, which means I canā€™t take all of it.

Ordering heatsink when you can would probably be safe bet. Thereā€™s half dozen other pretty solid applications for that. I would wait til strips are in hand for drivers though

Iā€™m assuming plc will come through. But yeah, Iā€™m not really ordering the rest until I get shipping notices.
I suppose I could order the heat sinks, and possibly use them, if I get screwed.

The hardest part of cannabis cultivation, in all aspects, is the waiting.

Wait is what broke the wagon lol

Fact is they will be shipping at some point iā€™m assuming. I like the build a lot. I donā€™t think iā€™ll worry about the cost of the boards when they come available.

Iā€™m sure youā€™re right. I just meant from standpoint of being committed to that particular build. Thereā€™s half dozen other strips you could use to replicate a build like that, but the voltage and current all vary. So if you got tired of waiting, doing a similar light with different strip could require a different driver and heatsink

I understand. Good point. Thank you. Your lighting knowledge is impeccable. Iā€™ll hold off.
