Just some lurker dude
Pulled the trigger last week on ordering the pieces parts to build out a new light for the closet. Got most of the basic mechanical build out done today, so figured it was a good time to start documenting a little for anyone that might want to check out the build.
Key Parts:
4x Cree CXB 3590 3500K CD 36V COB
4x PLC 140mm Anodized Pin Heatsink
4x Ideal Chip lok holder and reflector adapters
4x Ledil Angelina Reflectors
LSD Power 200w Driver 1.4amp/145v
Total on parts and shipping for everything came to around $375
Using a standard piece of EMT conduit to hang everything. Eventually I may try and cable it up to allow for lowering each light individually, but going back and forth on if I really want to do that. For now just need to get it up and running. I'm planning on running four plants at a time in the closet, so have spaced the lights across the bar to essentially give me one lamp per plant once everything's in place.
I drilled three 1/8" holes through the heat sinks at equal points around the edge, and I'm using 1/16" cable and ferrules to hang 'em. Going to be a fairly "duct tape and bailing wire" type build compared to some of the more slick build out's around the 'Net, but then I don't really need it to look pretty.
Hoping to get going on the electrical and get it cabled up and ready to start mounting the COB's tomorrow.
