This is my 5x5 build using 12 pieces of 2foot Samsung 3000k fseries.

Nice build man. F564B's on an HLG480-48B?

Thanks for sharing the photos. Sweet fillets, Co-op lager, bee frames in the background... I'm thinking you're handy with a mig! :mrgreen:

I like the offset layout. Where did you source those heatsinks?

Yes I'm in Calgary, I drink Calgary Co-Op Lager and I keep honey bees. Good eye ;)

Most everything I used I followed the 5x5 f-series instructions exactly (2 drivers) from this web site. THANK YOU!

It's my first time indoor gardening. I used the 5x5 light design in a 4x4 tent. I'm using CO2 so the plants are loving the extra light. The heat isn't too bad as I have the drivers outside of the tent. I'm experimenting with the venting and temperatures.

The heat sinks are from Heatsink USA, the shipping to Canada s almost as much as the heat sinks. I could not find a Canadian source.

Welding the heatsinks to angle aluminium was done by a pro welder, I paid. It could be done with epoxy.

The LED wiring was found at Lee Valley Hardware. The 50ohm potentiometer doesn't work for dimming, it energizes both circuits 100%. I'm waiting for two 100ohm dimmers so I can separate the circuits by driver, 8 on the 480 and 4 on the 240. This way then the plants are small I can turn off the 480 driver.

if you have questions ask and I'll try to help. I spent months humming and hawing before jumping in.

100K Ohm, right?
