@robincnn I like your lights. Do you use them for veg or flower? Do you have a journal I can look at?
I use it as garage light. Have not had the time to grow with it.

Checkout BigYellowCob's grow here. He used APC35-350 with 2x 5000k for veg. Similar power as what I built.

Abiqua's veg light with a little less power

The safest most reliable build for that money is probably to run

4x Cree CXB3590 36V 3500K's
1x Meanwell HLG185-1400 [A version has a internal adjustable pot for dimming current][B versions have active dimming with multiple options]

Cheapest cooling is probably either the Arctic 11+ or the Ultra 64's....
Cheap 5v/12v Constant Voltage power supply [I would get a 20 volt Meanwell APC20 and run all four fans in series for 5v power at each]


-Mounting-
This thread alone provides you all the info and choices on how to mount or emulate a box/ case or certain mounting technique....:peace:

Is there a thread on your system?
How you build it?
Is there a fan in the central one?
Why there is bottles on the sides?
Is it hydro or soil or something else?
How much gpw and how much for the parts?
How much bin and what size?
Thanks
Have a great day ★

Yes I have a grow thread here but most my work is documented here and there is a build guide here.
A 6" fan and filter inside the central bin.Here is how it orginally worked and this is after I redesigned it.
Like so:


The bottle feeds the hempy bucket below . It is perlite & vermiculite 7:1.
My ideal lids consume 115W and an ideal crop is 120g. But the LED strip lighting in the sides of the bin use are inefficient and use 100W.
There are six bins and it will probably cost $1000 to complete all of them 100%.
