Lighting Now it's my turn COB DIY

[XxxAuto]

Sounds interesting!!

10 heatsink and 2 drivers and 5 COBs sets

I must trust them, because I don't know we're to calculate the Chinese shipments prices

 

[XxxAuto]

What is the optimal distance between the COBs ?

sorry bro it was in my thread not this one you told me about the driver thats why you are confused.you told xxxauto to get the 1050a in this thread but told me in my thread to get the 1400a.it makes no difference either way because it works

@2Stoned2Care have you finished your DIY ?

Hi bro yes i have finished my light but my cobs are just held on with kapton tape and thermal paste which is not ideal but works perfect.

And when @BigSm0 says you will be shocked when you turn them on is an understatement because they dont look bright in the picture but in real life these things are blinding bright :smoking:

yes the heatsink with a 120mm fan on top keeps the heatsink perfectly cool but without it you can not even touch the heatsink it gets that hot.it is a 100k ohm potentiometer
