Samsung F564B Linear Strip Build

Wagos are very ugly but do have an advantage of being able to make changes to the circuit without shortening the conductor you used. Heatshrinking over a connection looks clean but a pain to remove if you want to change something.

What are you using to mount/heatsink your strips?

Love fluke , used their networking/ethernet testing tools for years. But... I have to say I would not spend $200 USD to get a digital multimeter. Fluke makes great quality equipment, cant argue with that, but fluke has always been overpriced imo. Sort of like buying a lambo to drop the kids off a soccer. I still to this day use my $30 Micronta from Radio shack bought in 1994 and it does everything that Fluke does. I have dropped it down a flight of concrete stairs (came with a large rubber protective shell which in retrospect is awesome), spilled pop and coffee on it, friggin thing is indestructible. At the time a Fluke prolly would of cost me $600 or more.

UPDATE

Only "2 x Mean Well HLG-320H-48A" missing. Frame is already built, just need a few fixes and its good to go. Connected my first driver last night and it is awesome! Only one driver and it almost made me blind :D

I'm still doing some tests, I will send more pictures with the wiring later. I still don't know which Vo should I set my driver. I made another thread about this topic in this forum.

Ignore the item list from older posts.This is the updated version.

Wow! Thats a huge light, mate!
Well made!
LM561c below 60mA is incredible efficient.
Plan something similar but only with 320w for a 10sft.tent!
Good luck... hope we see some future results.

Those are some nice strips, price is a bit high but better than the last two LEDs we looked at.

My trays are 2 x 4 so I would need only 6 of the double LED strip units to outperform the lumen output of a 1000W sodium /square foot and probably running circles around it in PAR. all this while pushing 168lm/w at full power on a 300W driver. pretty much dollar to cover the same area with quantums at the same wattage but with better spread and no need for the stupid aluminium plates.

Wish I could fast forward 3 months to see how all these light do in the real world.

You would need 7 strips and 350W to do the same in a 10' square.

Fuck Wagos. buy heatshrink, put some on the wire, move away from joint, solder, slide heatshrink over joint, heat that mofo up with a hot air gun, and neat and safe connectors.
I'm a big fan of heat shrink and solder connections.

Those wagos are just asking for shit, they don't even have a hole for a screw like a cheap terminal block has. It is just asking to catch on something and cause shit.

Dail the voltage all the way down and use the current pot to adjust the output, I assume you are going for low current so it will be somewhere between 43.7 and 46V

All items have arrived. I'm hoping to finish the light this weekend and share with you some pics.

How hot do the heatsinks you made run?
Like if you can touch them, for how long can you keep your thumb on it?
I am trying to calculate how hot the 4 foot 24b boards would get if I add a 3C/W heatsink. I think I smoked too much, cause my calculations all end up with the thing being hotter than without the heatsink on. Can't be right.

They arent really heatsinks just aluminium U profiles. Dimensions are length:140cm x width:4.5cm x height:2cm.
I haven't noticed any heat but I only ran them for 5-10minutes. I will post more info this weekend as I will try to finish the build and mount the light in my grow tent.
