Indoor MOD 420 Horticulture COB Lighting

[Ripper]

I have alot of people ask for a similar design. I have started to play around with the idea as far as where the driver, junction box would go. Thats as far as I've gotten do to ☝.

Let me ask you this, what kind of COB spacing would you like to see in a design like this?

12 inches would be fine it would essentially make it 36 inches maybe 38 to accommodate the edges of the unit. It would perfect for a 2x4 tent and two of them would be perfect for a 4x4.. Many many did I say many growers use 2x4 tents

Ok, thanks. My load should lighten up a little now that the mod 420 is released, will play with this idea more.

I plan on using the HLG-240H-C1050B is there an SST junction box with built in potentiometer for this driver?

There is a specific size of junction boxes that is compatible with Mod 4. I will post details soon.
I am redesigning the junction box to reduce the price.
Yes I will send you a junction box with built in potentiometer for your DIY.

I just checked the datasheet from MW and and it's the same as all other HLG drivers I have looked at. 3 in 1 dimming using variable voltage 1-10v, 10v PWM (pulse width modulation), or a potentiometer to vary resistance.

@PhotonLabs dimmers are very nice, about 300° of rotation and dims the entire way, gives real fine control. I find myself playing with them a lot, dimming for a day or two durning transplant, things like that.

I like it just mount it and wire everything up.. I think it will help a lot of on the fence people to want to build a light cause it simplifies the process..

pretty nice.
the sst x heat sinks that can carry 3590's 120 watts is what I would like. 5 weeks out before availability. I am in line waiting.
really want to push these 3590's to the brink just to c. know what I mean

looking great. simplistic and effective looking design. thanks for sharing buddy.

The biggest problem I see people having is the drilling and tapping of heatsinks. Thats why I gravitated toward @PhotonLabs heatsinks, amazingly he has been able to keep them on the leading edge for 6 months now. His bolt pattern layouts are awsome and I'm running 120mm and 140mm at 63w per COB, neither is what I would call hot. You can grab them anywhere and leave your hand there all day.

Thanks, can't wait to see these test builds!

I like your style! Notice @PhotonLabs and myself arent big into driving them soft. I took down 4k of HID and hung LEDs, power consumption wasn't an issue, light output was.
