Off the shelf retail store screw-in LED and CFL bulb comparisons

Ah crap !!

The 12V power supply isn't grounded, so the connector on the cord may only be two pin.

It's hard to tell from the picture.



Sorry for derailing the thread.

Man this is why I hate electrical stuff, there's never a solution that anyone can use. I have no idea what connector types I need, I'm giving up guys, its too much. Thanks for trying with me, but its just not possible when nothing is the same.
Sorry blynx, just polluted your great thread.

I will drop you a message.

Hi,
I am new here and I have question.
I plan to use 16 bulbs in box 57x57cmx110cm (near2x2inches x 3,7in)
Bulbs will be 11watt 1055lm. (8x2700, 4x4000, 4x6400)
Is it OK?
Or do I need more lumens, another Kelvins mixture or more watts?
Thanks for answers.

if anything, i'd say you're 20+% overpowered. with that much power, i would personally want dimming. otherwise your ceiling gets low.

you could try it, but maybe end up with like 8.5 watt/800lm bulbs considering the spacing.

Hi noknees,

thank you for your reaction. Thats good mesage for me. I found 9w, 806lm, cheap bulbs 25CZK=1,09USD, half price from 11w.
I watched pANicModE s journal and looks good.
Thanks.

Somehow your metric doesn’t match your imperial: is your space really only 2 inches square?

 

[PCBuds]

I think he meant 22 inches.

 

[PCBuds]

Another useful conversion.



Sorry, I'm trying to get my post count to 50 so I can delete some of my ramblings.

he's basically got a slightly taller, double-wide panic cab.

i might know my way around one of those.

All I need is how to learn how to PROPERLY wire up sockets to fixtures like this. May be a lucrative buis.....think of how many lazy folks there are in our world who would pay to have one built after seeing results like we have here in our journals!?

Happy to help!

Real easy sunshine. Just get some WAGO connectors and follow my friend repuk's instructions and you'll be growing in no time.

White Beard: Yes, you are right. My fault. 2x2 ft

nice job dude!

exactly howww light does the panama side want the N in your experience? heard from dubi already, just curious on your take.

I don't really juice my plants too much though my soil is decently hot. Probably most comparable to Fox Farm Ocean Forest though I mix my own.

In my experience, the Panama is more nutrient hungry than some of the more pure landraces. Generally speaking, Im just tap water and dirt. I tend to watch leaves and then toss a small amount of feed in when they need it.
