Tent is 40 inches x 40 inches it’s not big but it works lol
Never gave a thought to dimming thanks one mor thing to do lol
This is double what I run for clones. There is a dimmer on the driver which you can use (Screw driver)…i’m too lazy to attach a dimmer switch to it (one day I will).

The only thing with something like this is that the strips are about 11" in length…so it may create hotspots if getting to close to the main light. Feel free to get a par meter and send it my way when you are done setting the lights up
Though I do like what you picked out…way less work lol
Good looking bars. Should be easy to configure and connect.
I would want the ab with the dimming.

Are you mounting the driver on the frame, or outside the tent?
Not sure I was thinking on the frame some how
Thanks my friend looks good
welcome i mean as far as mounting it complete as a all in one unit the little rivets on the top of this light if you drill them out i know sounds sketchy but you can rivet this whole thing together as well just dawned on me i got the chop saw if you need to borrow too…
Harbor freight for the rivet gun
Ok I think I’ll pull the plug an get these to start @cdnBuddy @GramTorino @HolyAngel @ct2003viper thanks for your advice
For the frame I’ll pick up some aluminum angle form Home Depot
@ct2003viper thanks for the drawing I got a chop saw I’ll drill some holes and bolt them together
I will most likely mount the driver to the side somewhere I need the over head space
What’s the total wattage available after this upgrade?
@cdnBuddy As far as what I have in the room ?
I recently added a 20 amp circuit with 4 out lets
And there is a separate circuit available for some supplemental things hopefully lol
Ok you got me thinking if I have 2 amps and voltage is 240 then it should be 4800 watts
Main tent light 500 watts but usable watts is less I believe
I believe ruff math I should be ok fingers crossed
480 watts
Thanks my friend I am not an electrician at all
Ok so I think I may be running a little bit much
nor am I
I know you can run 3600 watts on a 20 amp 220/240 circuit
and be safe as it is about 75 % max load
all the best
Dequilo
So far so good all 3 tents were going at once full on and seem to have worked well next time I will have each tent at different times with minimum over lap
I was referring to total watts for the tent. You’re around 31watts a sq ft they will be in love with the addition.
I would do the same. Helps me sleep at night lol
me too
my luck I would start a fire and some fireman would die
and this state would give me a life sentence
so it is good to stay safe
I thought it beat the T5’s I was originally thinking about
And the way it will sit there will be no dark spots
