Cool. Check this video out. Your setup isn't as complicated since you dont have heatsinks to worry about, but he shows how to wire up the driver and he uses the junction boxes so u can see how that works.
I can get this LED light tomorrow, used(1 yr old), for $180. it retails for $595 and has good reviews from what i see

Here is a vid I found too of a qb120 frame which is almost exactly what I had in mind, except w 4 boards how Grassburner did it. But this could be cool too, to make 4 of these type of frames and put 2 boards on each.

My alibaba ( Kingsbrite) lights kick ass. Was gonna build one, but i said f**k it. I’m the type that if I built one I want to keep adding and adding shit. Got a 240 w for 200 total. 3500k lm301h with cree reds. No uv( I use solarcures).

The one thing from that video that is super helpful is what he shows about having to trim down the AC side of the driver wires a tiny bit to fit properly inside the junction box. If you dont do that, there is a tiny gap in the cable that defeats the purpose of the water resistance of the junction box. Ive done that a few times now, and the trick I have learned is to just trim the lead wires back about a 1/2", but try not to shorten too much or u have to strip some of the exterior sheathing. Its a little tricky to get them seated when shorter but you will figure it out. Kind of hard to explain in words exactly. Ill try to photoshop an example later.
