I want to see how you connect it all into the junction box! I planned on using vinyl fence as well, but it looks like you're using the posts, where I want to use the actual railing. This appears to give a bit more room inside, I like it a lot! Great work!
I have thought about that actually. But I ran the first bar for about 40min with no fans on. the heatsinks get got but not enough to melt the vinyl. plus!! I have a box fan hung above blowing down on high. Its just not visible in the pictures.
Thanks for the compliments also! I thought if I did some detail it might help others to make some headway towards led. This is not for everyone though. It does take some know how and time.
Well, what do you wire those AC wires into? a 3 prong power cord that you just run to an outlet?
yea... no amount of write up is going to replace native skills. venturing in slowly to get those skills will help with being successful with future more complicated builds. My background is lighting heavy you could say.... I have also repaired many highend electronics related to it on a component and electrical board level. My skills are practical based with understanding of theory. However I am not nearly s advanced as some on here in regards to electronics and builds entirely from scratch. I viewed this as a component level build which for me was easy. I also have gained more knowledge of led by reading all the stuff posted here and elsewhere.
Now that I understand what the led wants I am getting better at matching components. My next light will be a simple veg light using some things I already have.
AGAIN... I am hugely thankful for the folks who share thier knowledge here and am just trying to make a small contribution to the group. I am loving the light output though FYI. I had to back the lights off even. It was a mistake thinking they were like t-5's... LOL The intensity from these cobs could easily bleach bud.
