Ledgrowlights-Adam Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I will have to read through this properly later as most the strips i can see mentioned are really crap. M, V, Influx,Q, Lt. All terrible strips unless you underdrive them, but then you will be better with EBS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subutai Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 @diyleduk My order hasn't been shipped yet, are the Sl-b8v7n90l1ww strips that bad? If so I might still be able to cancel the order. If it's too late I will give them a try anyway, I could always stick them on ebay and get my money back. Thx for chipping in on the thread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx for chipping in on the thread These are the ones id go for SL-B8V4N90LAWW. The influx range are the old range, if you underdrive the one you have and get a great price then they will be ok, but at 1st glance the price is the same as the much better version. Use "octopart" to find the best price. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledgrowlights-Adam Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Also google "samsung engine calculator" Its an extremely usefull tool for working out the electrical and efficiency and also making various comparisons. Just as an example. Say you get 20 of the old strips at the same price as 10 of the new ones. You can work out which one actually gets you the most output for the money by inputting all the data. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While i wait for delivery it will give me lots of time to read up on LED's and try and learn what i need to do lol. Thx again mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgee Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Sounds like a case of the old adage... If it sounds too good to be true.. it probably is! Ahh well I ordered them now, if nothing else it will let me learn how to diy/assemble the things myself. Would they work better if we add some of them red supplement strips you stock Adam? @diyleduk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diddy Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 Well my £5.22 shit strips are on there way lol. No way was I cancelling lol. AS DIY said if you drive these soft aka use less amps then they might be a good deal (He didn't realise that they were a fifth of the price at that point imho. Anyway happy building chaps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgee Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Mine are on the way too. If they don't work out it ain't the end of the world at the price I paid. Worse case scenario I'll install them around the house, in shed etc, bound to be some uses for them. I'm still quite hopeful we can make em work though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find another thread where pictures of full budded stuff grown under these. Its another canna forum so not stealing their pics nor linking lol....But yeah the google search will find you the thread i got the idea from. These are not as good as strips that currently cost £25 each....they are much better than strips that cost £5 each though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
