Badger goes camping with his buddies

Hey @Badger. :slight_smile: If you haven’t seen this thread you should check it out.

This is the one I built for my 2x4. It’s running 21 strips, 15 5000k, and 6 3500k. There are 2 drivers, 1 runs 10 strips, 1 runs 11.


After I hung it I hit the strips and drivers with a temp gun. The strips were 78-79F, drivers were at 83-84F. Temp inside the tent rose from 70 to 72, and at 18" my LUX meter hits around 65K. :slight_smile:

It’s bright as hell man, you gotta have shades to look right at it. This is 4 Frankenstein clones, 3 FPOG, and 1 mystery clone that I think is a Strawberry Diesel x C99.

You could build one that’d run at 165 watts nominal which is right at 20 sq/ft for $150-$160. It’s really hard to beat that. I’ll never buy another pre-made light.
