Thermal runaway protection with resistors mounted to terminal blocks for 10 of the strips. I'll put the other set together tomorrow. 20180814_224451.jpg The cab side panel connector soldered with awg 12 leads to power the fixture. 20180814_214121.jpg 20180814_214127.jpg 20180814_214108.jpg

It has 19 14 gauge stranded wires on it so I would assume each pin is rated at 15 Amps. I wont be putting more than 3 Amps on them though. https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Leap-Compatible-connectors-Multi-Cable/dp/B071FQ7J3B?crid=19XH1M171NOA8&keywords=socapex+connector&qid=1533832931&sprefix=socapex&sr...

Soldered two 19 pin connectors for a 30' remote driver panel.

Thanks to this kick ass site and its helpful members I am finally starting to assemble my own strip light. The light will be covering a 4 x 6 scrog in a sealed room with co2 and used only for flowering. I have a 5000k cxb light for veg, down the road I will be suplimenting with some 660nm reds. I le...

I have been searching for a few days and all I can seem to find is that hlg is working on QBs with these as supplemental diodes. Is anyone aware of strips using only these diodes, seems to me they would be perfect to slap between the strips we use.

I already have my heatsinks and 20mm tape, two rows are going to be 2mm wide or so but I figured it wouldn't hurt anything being a little wide.

I am going to make a jig to align the strips to the heatsinks. Your making me consider getting 30mm tape. It would be a cleaner looking job I think.

Thank you for the very detailed reply, it is exactly what I was looking for. Nice looking light by the way. I ordered enough 20mm tape to do 2 runs down each strip and a tube of the mx-2 you recommended. I am going to try the tape and if it starts getting unmanageable I'll switch to the paste. Hopef...

Thank you for the link :D I apologize for not giving more details I am mounting twenty 3000k samsung f-series double row strips to 2" heatsinks driven by two hlg-600h-48b drivers. They will be run very softly, hopefully around 25%. Just trying to figure out what is the best way to go about it. I hea...

What's the go to brand for thermal tape?

Do you want to cover the entire width of the strip vs just the width of the LEDs?

With 4' strips getting them stuck straight has me worried and considering using artic silver. Does anyone consider this a better option.

Not to take up anymore of your time but what ohm resistors would be appropriate for this and what kind of losses to efficiency are we talking. I went with a hlg-h600-48b driver. The tool doesn't have these as an option yet.
