If you guys are interested in the Samsung strip lights, you should reach out to @Graytail . I know he uses them and has all the information on them. I am sure he will be glad to share his wealth of lighting knowledge.

Guy has been kind of MIA for about a month or two. I am going to email him and see how he is doing.

It's been a while since I was last in here so I was surprised to see a recent post about the Samsungs. It's also been a long time since I built my lights, but I got mine from Rapids. I still have 8 strips in the box that I haven't even opened! Not sure what the hell I was thinking I need more fore. LOL.
Care to talk about your set up Rider? I am getting ready to expand into a 10'x10' and am getting a second Spydrx Plus on a mover but I am also possibly interested in trying this Samsung type thing as a replacement in the 4x4. I am not looking for a shit ton of watts for it as it will be the veg tent to the 10x10's flower. I am looking for something possibly up to 300-400 watts max. Thanks in advance man!

I am currently building a 16x12 grow shed so I have been doing lots of research. I grow in under current. I have used LEDs before. Looking to buy the spydrx. But I am always interested in other options. I will do a journal on my build once I get rolling.
I love my Spydrx! Its a great light that will amaze you if you get one! I am hoping to add a 2nd!

Riders Samsung strips were bar none the best strip out there when he built his lights about a year ago. The chip technology is moving so fast that currently the HLG-QB288 PCB's are riding the crest of the LED wave. I'm sure they'll be replaced with something else soon enough.

Stank...you heard from Guy???
No, actually a bit worried. I sent him an email over a week ago (real email, not PM on here) and haven't heard anything back from him. Gonna send another one...maybe he likes to be poked.
Good news.....he responded to my email. He is doing well and said he will swing by and give everyone an update.
Thanks van I had been wondering about Guy! Hope youre well dude we want updates

Im thinking about getting a spiderx plus for my next grow.... do you think I would need more then 1 in a 4x4 flower tent?
Ps and would you think 4 spiderx plus would be anough in a 10x10?
I would run 2 Spydrx Plus on movers instead of 4 of them. I don't think you need 4 of them. You might suffer a touch on the yield over having 4 of them, but you will save yourself 3k bucks.
You can only fit one of them in a 4x4....their footprint is just about 40"x40"

Okay but it would still be better 4 in a 10x10 right?
And do they really pull the watts that the specs say?
yeah they pull a legit 660 watts.
4 would be better if you can afford it. For me the power costs aren't worth the increase in yields.

Yeah I get you... I’m working on something big and I’m trying to go with the less electricity possible but with the max yield possible... So far a spydrx plus is the closes to a HID light in my researchs... but again thank for the info Mr stank!
Remember if you can run 220v it's much cheaper to run lights with.
