I plan on turning a cabinet into a mother/seedling tent. The cabinet is 43x125x100cm (around 16x49x39 inch) I want to use as much space as possible within this cabinet so there will be no inline fan/filter. I have a sol skin SSK-272-VB-V2 https://www.cutter.com.au/product/ssk-272-vb-v2/ I'm running with an HLG-120H-48A https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/mean-well-usa-inc/HLG-120H-48A/7703896 .
I have some spare 80/20 aluminum pieces, enough to make a heatsink but would be difficult to mount. I was wondering if anyone had experience with alternative panel heatsinking like silicone sheets or directly on to the wood. Would that be unsafe? I've tried the thick lexan from hardware stores and it worked fine with thermal tape and adhesive. Also this type of wood cabinet is old particle/saw dust but layered on real sheet wood then stained.
