My thoughts were that an external driver besides slightly reducing heat in the grow space also lets the user easily chose what driver they want.

you could have a couple of 4mm rivnuts with the bolts in them on the top somewhere for the optional driver mount.
hmmm I wonder how Solstrip AU would fair…

I’d have thought led lighting would be even more popular in a hot country bro but i suppose you have air conditioning already in most places eh.

@Albannach it was the intention that they were remote so people could choose the option of driver. There’s a lot of confusion here. So in the simplest of terms. You could have it on or in or out lol.
I appreciate what you’re saying about the riv nuts too @Pedro_Bann bro. But all drivers vary in size so that would have to be left to the user.
I would have thought due to heat LED would already be the way. And as for solstrips au. I reckon you would smash it. Not a cheap do setting up though lol

Hey bud I catch up with this thread, but I don’t have a clue about some of the stuff you all talk about but im kinda learning names etc but the maths and joules n all the electric is where I am lost…
Why not try a couple of hydroponics shops, see if they are interested in the mini sun etc ( take a pre-built one in and see what they think.? I know you work beside one but try others… just a thought.( probably/maybe the wrong market I just tossing ideas 
out there…
Anyway best of British to @Robin and yourself.

It’s not my fault if our wonderful and esteemed customers wish to send me rather large samples of the fruit of their labour bro 
if there’s anything specific you wanna know about the electrics. You just got to ask. I kind of prefer not having to distribute via a hydro shop. The loss of profit we would need to take for them to be happy would need to be gained again elsewhere and that would be the people we like most. Our fellow growers lol.
If any hydro shop owners want a personal light. Well they can shout me too

Hi @FlippyNips
@Robin here, how you doing bro 
Taking your comments on board, please could you have another look, ive added some obvious links to the shop and reduced the category layers on the lights so you get to your choices quicker… I have also moved the solstix,strips and sinks up a couple of layers so you can now get directly to solstrips etc…as a product direct from the components category…and the homepage and the shop page
Thanks for your feedback, we are still very much work in progress, any other feedback welcomed…

Good evening OG family. For the usual suspects in my daily meanderings. I haven’t been being ignorant. I’ve been dropping likes and building lights.
This one specifically. 450x300mm this is a little beastly baby that pushes 200w run hard. And i like it enough to make it a readily available fixture. £399 RRP
£349 to OG members. (Please let an OG member buy it I wanna see what it can actually do)
Another custom light to start tomorrow

Now that is very neat bro and a bargain at only 349 quid. If i could not build my own i’d have the cash transferred to you before it could even cool down

I’m barely making a bean on it. But loss of profit to establish a reputation is fine by me. @Robin is cool as fuck too. We’re winging it so far but every sale will help us grow…and hopefully our customers too
It’s a lovely little dinky thing this. Still packs a decent punch I’d tackle a 2x2ft or even 80x80cm tent with this. (Some people may disagree)

Yeh man that looks like a great little rig to me. A small tent and one of those could seriously produce the goods i recon. Someone will get a bargain here.

Good morning you beautiful bunch.
Original solstix rack time.
I was asked to make one initially with a view to make another 3 (to cover a 4m x 50cm propagation/cutting space)
800x450mm
2x3500k
3x5000k
So 4400k across the board.
No wifi no frills. Minimal weight and can push 50 to 200w a rack. @Baudelaire the fancy lights are great for right through and to minimize the risk of stupidity ending somebody prematurely lol. But credit where it’s due. The rack will be timeless.
Im pretty certain once this customer has seen what this does. They will be back for the other 3 in no time.

That is indeed a bargain. A simple diy build and a fellow OG member can have the most efficient grow light available

Stix. Take your pick £30. Get them all fucked off. Too many other peoples pockets being lined along the way for us to make anything with these anyway.

Word to any UK growers on here that have been struggling with the heat lately, check out the long range forecast! They are predicting a long hot summer so if you don’t take @anon58740919 up on his offer you might well regret it.
