Ledgens first and second build (500w)
Posted: Thu Mar 11, 2021 5:56 pm
I want to thank all of the great people here at Ledgardener! I couldn't have done this without you. So a big thanks to you´ll, and especially to @Teknik who answered all my idiotic questions!
Specs are :
40 x Cree 3030-2700k with Tekniks chip
2 x HLG-480H-48AB driver
Proper 1"*23" heat sinks from Heatsinkusa
100k potentiometers
25*25*1000mm L shaped alu lists
It´s build as 2 seperate setups. Both of them have 2 frames and ment to be used for 120x120x200cm grow space (4´x4´x6´). Excuse the mess. I´m working with limited space here
This is the first build I made.
I used 3*1.5mm2 rubber cables to route them inside the pvc list so no wires would be visible. They are connectes as parallel. There suposed to be a meter in the box but the volt and amp reading was jumping all over the place so I removed it and waiting for another type of meter that I´ve ordered.
Also mounted all heat sinks with 3d printed mounts.
The second build went great all the way until I tried it out for the first time. One strip is partly borken
That pissed me off quit the bit so it´s not 100% finished yet. Need to swap out the strip, ground the frame, print some caps and it´s done.. But @welight from cutters is ghosting me and I don´t know if he still uses Tekniks chip, and why his webpage says they come with 3pc blues when my orignal order was 7diods per strip..
Also shipping is expencive as fuck and wouldn´t make sence to order just one strip, so I´m thinking about buying some deep-far red to give emmerson effect a shot. I would appreciate if someone could recommend me chips or strips from cutters that would be kickass? @Teknik I know you know this
Crappy pics but that´s all I have for you!
Cheers!
