Awesome build man! I'm hoping to have mine done Tuesday or Wednesday.

I am considering mounting my driver outside the closet. As long as I go with 18 guage wire and don't go more than 8-10' feet away, I should be ok right?

Can anyone comment on how hot the 320 h 1400 actually gets to the touch? I just want to make sure I won't have a fire hazard mounting to sheetrock. I plan on being home any time the COB is on, but still just to be safe.
I am currently using this same driver for 6 3590 36 v crees. I put a small fan blowing in it and ran my lights for 5 hours. Slight warmth, like comfy warm. I then removedthe fan and that damn thing got uncomfortably hot, temp gun said 110 f. My driver is free air in my tent above my light rack.

Is it your driver is getting that hot?

7' is prolly the max
That will be perfect. I don't need to go far. My main concern was the slack needed to raise and lower. I could always bump up to 16 guage and not worry.
perfect. I bought a hanging kit that comes with 6 brackets and 3 ceiling mount adjustable cable hangers with dual clips.

I will probably just use 4 of the brackets centered between the COBs and two of the cables attached my existing eye hooks in the ceiling with ratcheting adjusters.

Thanks for the tips! Two more days to prepare, then it's build time
