Did a price breakdown of this new light. Missing a few things like molex connectors, 12v power supply, carclo reflectors (crappy fit..will be changing), and custom osram reds...but otherwise almost every part I used and approximate cost.
Not too bad, comparable with most of the good 400w options.
Here's the parts breakdown..
$100 Heatsink...24" x 10" from ledgroupbuy.com.
Could be cheaper from heatsink USA depending on shipping
$320 for 8 cxa 3070 leds
$240 for 2 200w drivers from Futurelightingsolutions
$16 for 2 Potentiometers 200k...can be found for a few dollars but these look to be a higher quality (probably got ripped off but I was tired of part shopping)
$6 switches
$14 rubber grommets for wiring into box
$40 for 2 fans. Lot cheaper options but I like these. They are fast and come with a speed control
$7 terminal block
$15 utility box
$19 fused and switched c14 AC inlet...
$20 for 8 ideal cxa 3070 led holders
$8 for 8 ideal reflector adapters
$40 for 8 ledil Angelina reflectors
$8 thermostat. Shuts light off in case of overheating
$853...call it $900
Misc....14g wire, 18g wire, 22g wire, 1 piece aluminum angle, 1 piece flat aluminum strip, hex head metal screws, 12v dc power supply for fans, handle, wire sheathing, heatshrink, solder
