I've used a calculator on this site before where you could select the strips you were using and how many and it would recommend a driver...

Can't seem to find it anymore - can anyone help?

Just looking to build a small light using the details contained here - Example Builds

Can I add too many strips for a given area though? e.g a 2'x4' uses 14 strips but a 3'x'3 uses 18 strips with the same driver. I'm I wasting my time adding the additional 4 strips into a smaller build?

Hi I've used a calculator on this site before that allowed you to select the LED strip model and number in array and it would recommend a driver to power those strips... I've just been through the site "clicking" on every link but I'm unable to find it again - can anyone help me locate it? Regards :...

How high does the light sit from the canopy?

I would expect it to be close - 6"

Hi I built an LED array for a friend a few months ago - built using 22 x LT-F562B (2' Samsung SI-B8U261560WW) and it was being driven with a Meanwell HLG-480H-24B. The area of the build was 1.5m x 0.8m. He's reporting really small buds and a under performing grow after 5 weeks of "flowering". Is the...

Considering selling these via ebay...

Neat! Which printer are you using?

It's a cheap Anet A8 (about $150) - takes a bit on tinkering to get good prints, but a great introduction to printing.

Can anyone point me in the directional of a reasonably price multimeter that can measure 40DCA plus?

Would this shunt be suitable - I want to measure 24DCV/40DCA - shunt has a resistance of 0.001 ohms.

I've just put together an array of 22 LED strips and thought I'd share some pictures of the clips and mounts I 3D printed to keep the build tidy and organised. If you build a lot of lights then definitely consider buying a cheap 3d printer. I designed all clips (apart from the Wago mounts) in Tinker...

I realised I'm making such a problem trying to run a single panel of the two. The build I followed had 16 LEDs and A type driver with both pots wide open. I've upped it to 22 LEDs and changed to a B driver. According to the build instructions, the B driver was just a little under powered so I can ru...
