I am doing a similar build using Vero 29s 49 of them to be precise. I will have seven 600-watt drivers. I'm wondering exactly what it looks like inside your boxes that connect your for drivers together. I bought two project boxes I'm going to have 4 drivers on one project box and 3 on the other. Do you have any other pictures or insight
You will need seven on/off 110v plug/switch if you want to have independent dimming for each driver a 100k potentiometer with a 10k resistor 2 aircraft style 2-wire connectors for each driver to connect cobs to 28 awg wire to cobs. You can use wagos for power connectors and spade connectors to connect drivers to power switch you will also want a power meter for each driver if so desired. Hope that helps I have a picture of one on the site I posted

I want to get back on track & get my thread back on track. For anyone that is interested, heres what happened with me over the last month.
-my morning routine of logging into RIU, youtube etc and commenting/answering questions began to grow from 30min to and hour + , after posting the how to diy series.
I ended up loosing and incredibly valuable client at my day job as a result of not managing my time and balancing my real life with this online persona. I have spent the last month course correcting and servicing my other clients , restoring balance to my life.

I am still growing, tinkering, building etc and looking forward to easing back into the scene. I really wish I had never made that Mars hack video. 75% of the comments and communication that I get now are: how many cobs can this or that piece of chinese shit I have never heard of run.

SO if you are reading this, dont post that kind of BS here. if you cant figure out how to divide driver voltage by cob voltage, then keep researching.

anyways, cheers to everyone and I look forward to catching up with you all.
A few weeks ago while I was skatin on the interweb trying to find out enough information to guide my imminent investment in LED lights, I found growmouse, Vitally & greengene. I have downloaded a heap of utube they have produced, and, just this week began to follow them further into new realms like instagram & rollitup. I hope this is not stalking, I just really enjoy what they're putting out there and pullin the odd cone with them as I watch & suck the guts out of it for information & guidance. I would love the chance to share what I am trying to create for their evaluation one day, as I have seen so many do recently. So I am immediately saddened by getting to p49 of this thread to find the wheels have begun to wobble in my newfound virtual community. If I was there mau5 & gene, I would pass you my lil pipe and some of my amber fairy floss & pour you a home made spirit or liquer and try and think of a good joke to tell yas.
Hope everything settles for you as it normally does for motivated self directed people. cheers

Nice DIY site and info. I'm new to LED's as I'm growing Microgreens with 3 foot long tubes and 12 are driven by 1 power supply and cost $700 to add new racks. Just working on making them better and cheaper and still working out the details of the specs on lights and power supply. I've figured out about 1/2 in the first 4 videos Growmau5 put out on youtube
