@PsyCLown Correct, the fan is blowing over the heatsink. It think I went a little overboard there as the heatsink barely gets warm without the fan running. There are 148 LED's per a board. Will start a grow journal when I get going to see how they do.

@PsyCLown The heatsink he offered was not wide enough for the boards, ended up just taking the lights at R1200.00 each, R2400.00 total. Quick count got 148 LED's per a board. The lights arrived a few days after ordering with 10x Sugar Black Rose x Afghan Kush (reg) seeds. Seeds were just in a bank bag so don't really expect much probably won't bother growing them. @growopz As for the power consumption, my boss has agreed to let me to do my microgrow in my air conditioned office, so he will be fitting the bill for utilities. Here's a few pics of my DIY light, used what ever I found laying around the workshop.

@Nostrovia I want to make sure its quality before I share details. Dont want to lead forum members into crap or scams.

@SkunkPharm all in all it came to R2850.

@SkunkPharm I ordered 2x QBs with heatsink and 1x dimmer. Will update on outcome.

Hey all Found these quantum boards locally. They priced at R1200 each. They advertised as having Samsung LEDs. Anyone have experience with these QBs. If it's a good deal I can share supplier contact details. Thanks in advance.

Ok thanks for the advice, much appreciated. Will contact them today.

I see those LEDs are 40w whereas the other lights are only 14w. They dont seem to advertise a power supply for the 40w lights. Can you recommend one? @SkunkPharm

@SkunkPharmCan you please put the link to the product page. Hard to make out from the pic.

@SkunkPharm are you refering to these lights https://www.futurama.co.za/5050-water-resistant-4-1-led-grow-light-strip-5m/

Hi 420SA Started building my first indoor setup and I am at the stage of purchasing lighting. I found 2 suppliers on gumtree with good pricing, just wondering if anyone has any experience with them? https://www.gumtree.co.za/u-seller-listings/gewinn-tech/v1u108211523p1 https://www.gumtree.co.za/u-seller-listings/0848272528/v1u100032861p1 Thanks in advance.
