Lighting Folux Solutions - AFN Communal Fall 2018 Test Thread

Had to make a few adjustments this morning.. I woke up to a tent temp of 95 degrees.. The driver was resting on the heatsink.. Both were hot to the touch.. So I moved the driver outside of the tent and dimmed the board a little bit. Also added a small exhaust fan. I've been sitting pretty at 81/82 degrees since. The dimming option is really nice! Its my first time having that ability.

I decided to go with one plant and try to max out the coverage. Its a Chem City Purp from Mephisto.. Hand watered, in a 4 gal pot of coco.

Is there a recommended method for mounting? Separate or piggyback? I liked the piggyback look, cleaned up the install. It looks bright!
 
We generally recommend that you mount it outside the tent; the driver gets a lot hotter than the board.
Thanks! I wont mind the extra heat in the tent. Pretty sure I know a way to easily mount it. But will definitely keep it separate from the board.
