Lighting Show us how your hanging, cob frames and mounting.

I don't think that there is, thats where a single fixture would be a great light! Nice and clean, very mobile.

I think your right. I'm seeing a lot more and more of the single hanging cobs around.

what would be great is something like coiled guitar cables, like the old retractable phone cables.

I posted this light somewhere on this forum but this is its first time in action.
Besides the frame it is one of the least expensive lights going.
6 Cree 2530's 4000k-60 dollars with holders and 3 robbed 650ma Mars drivers. The cobs are only putting out 24 watts each but for side lighting it should do the trick.

The frame is 80/20 extrusion in the rare black. Total frame cost was around 150 dollars so it's still a cheap light. $210 for 150 watt cob light.
Anyone interested in DIY this is what it's about. You can make what you can't buy, fix what's broken and scavenge parts to build things extremely cheap. I haven't seen any 7 foot long side light bars on Amazon lately

honestly bro i don't think 20 more cobs will really help your memory

Yes, i need to clean that up. Have to get some way to hold it, but i needed slack to be able to move it around. I wish it was easier to wire them with just two wires to each cob. Isnt that parallel?

The leaders are great. 3.50 for six

Why cant you just use a longer wire and run it up to your driver and back down to the other cob?

That looks real nice! Can't wait to get ahead so I can dabble around in the shop. I have access to a laser, been thinking of what I could do with a sheet of aluminum.

That sounds interesting!

I think there is a limited length of wire that can be run due to the loss of current traveling through the wire. I tried to use less than 14ft total since using 16ga .

I've got everything most machine shops have except a CNC. 4k watt Laser, 80 ton break press, mill, drills, lathe, sheer, welders etc. I've been doodling some ideas on paper...
