Good evening. I am building a COB LED light and I would like some feedback. All feedback is welcome, good, bad, and other.
This is my first build, so it's not the largest. Here is a crude diagram of the design I am working on:
The difference I am working on, is that most of the COB LEDs I have seen are just free air cooling. In order to help keep the COBs healthy over the long-run, I am going to build it enclosed with fans on one end and vents on the other. This would create a wind tunnel essentially, that would carry the hot air away from the light. I may even end up connecting tubing to vent it outside the tent.
The build is with the following:
4x Vero SE 29 C (BXRC-30G10K0-C-73-SE)
4x 120mm x 60mm pin heatsink
2x 120mm low noise high CFM fans
100K Ohm Potentiometer (for adjusting the brightness)
10' Power cord
Male power plug with on/off switch (attached to case)
LEDMO 12V switching converter (for fan power)
1x Mean Well HLG-480H-C1400B
1/8th aluminum sheeting for top, bottom, and sides
1/8th aluminum L extrusion for frames (overall frame and each lights support)
