I want to do a ''test'' build and test order from digikey to my country, so I'm ready for a full 4x4 build when I have the funds for that.
I would like to place a small order with digikey over $60 I get free shipping, so in that neighborhood. I'm probably going to get the driver from time.eu.
I'd like to order/test:
1 x 2' F series 46v
2 x 2' Q series
And then to get just above $60, a single Q series 1' just for knowing the physical outline of it for mounting/heatsinking.
I would like to pair them with a A type driver with built in potentiometer, and optimally it should be able to run a single F series 2' on near max and 2x Q series 2' on near max, without being too much for either setup if that's at all possible ??
Otherwise I'll do a Q-series only test, I suppose...
I also have to pay 25% tax and import charges, so I don't want to order too much of something I can't use now as supplemental lighting.
I want to find out how hot they get when running at 50% - 75%, so I can figure out how to cool them best.
I have a mate working in a metal factory, and I might be able to persuade him to laser cut and drill a heatsink tailered for these strips of the diffenrent sizes and maybe get a qoute on how much a full build would cost for each type of strip.
Hope you can help me make sense of all this
