First time build for peppers

[sweeper]

Would this thermal paste be sufficient for my build? I was going to order 4 of these. Thank you in advance.

Are you dead set on the paste? I like the tape a good bit. I'm sure the paste is better as far as heat conductivity goes, but man is the tape easier to work with.

Not dead set. Just want the best heat transfer.

Heat sinks arrived! Yay!

Not dead set. Just want the best heat transfer.

the heat transfer can't be very good either way, because there is an epoxy PCB between the LEDs and the heat sink to begin with.
that being said, i used cheap (6$ for 25m) transfer tape (10mm) from aliexpress and mounted my F562B on aluminum L profile. at 900mA they wouldn't reach more than 41°C

Definitely go with the Wago connectors and LLT-L20 3 pin for the wall side. Makes life a whole lot easier!

Just ordered one of my light strips! Yay!!!

[Sonnycohopie]

Light strip came in today! Sweet!

Awwwwwwww yeeeeeeeeah!

[Sonnycohopie]

Ordering this guy Friday! Yay! I am thinking I can run one strip for now, then add the second strip on
another payday. From what I understand from the spec sheet it will work. I plan on wiring two lights in parallel once I save enough for the second light strip. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
