DIY HLG-100 Dimmable + Larger Heatsink
Just a small veg light I put together. It has the same amount of diodes (192) as a Hlg-100 in 6500k and a 20x13 1/4 thick plate heatsink. The driver is one of those $8.99 Mean Well clg-100-24dlu's. Weird the output says 2.88a instead of the typical 4a and I couldn't find any info on the internet anywhere on a dlu version driver. I haven't got a chance to test it yet to confirm but its no biggie either way cause it would be right about 70% on the strips and where I would normally keep it when maxed out. The plate was a scrap piece of material and already had the holes drilled into it. The middle one worked out well though for a fan which I plan to add later. And i mounted the driver on some spacers so It could get more air flow. All in all it works great and since the aluminum was free it only cost me a total of $54.
