Thanks to everyone who helped me!

Based on the Samsung F-Series LT-FB22B 4′ LED Strip Build – 4’x4′ here,

I'm fortunate to be working for one of the few fully permitted farms in my area.

Next time I will use (2) HLG-320H-C1750B's. Like Green genes recommends. I regret going constant voltage. And I used an "A series" driver so that I could control the voltage, but I wish I had the remote dimming of a "B series".

I substituted the gland box that Green genes used for this one, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012N ... UTF8&psc=1 ASIN B012NJUUG4.

I also used 1/4 - 20 screw eye bolts instead of 80/20 brand hangers.

I installed the heat sinks on top of the 80/20 aluminum channels so that the LED strips will be protected if the light is placed face down on a solid surface.

Nice setup. Where did you source your extrusions from. Slick design!!

[randorson]

Thanks. I ordered the 80/20 extrusion from tnutz.com. Credit for the design goes almost entirely to Greengenes.

last night I just hit the "love it" reaction and forgot to say... awesome light!! I love that green genes design so much now... that's what my next veg light is going to be like... probably with EB gen 2's running at test current

again love the light!!!

Great job on this build. I love the use of the 80/20. It's sturdy, light and very easy to adjust. Makes it easy to add/remove lights as needed without having to drill holes for every configuration. Nicely done!

[randorson]

Thanks folks! Again I couldn't have done this without help from people like Greengenes, ATPinMotion, Hydrofood, Shimbob and unkle_psycho. Not to leave anyone out.

I will def be posting an update once I see how the light performs.
