So I pulled the trigger on 4x of these Diablo QB648's. This will be my first venture into building a light, but I do have quite a bit of experience with electronics and electrical systems. However, I want to make sure I am not going to either damage my new boards, or worse, burn down my grow room.. so hopefully you all can give some quick advice?
Does this power supply EUD-600S12ADT Inventronics 600W 12500 mA Constant-Current LED Driver work for safely powering the 4 boards I purchased? *NOTE: I have already paid for it.. but I suppose I could simply return it unopened and purchase the right one. I want 600w total, with dimming, and most important.. safe.
Does 18g solid core wire work for the connections? If not, what is better? I am also assuming it would need to be 18/2?
I am thinking of a copper sheet, attached to a diamond plate metal sheet on top, for the heat sink/frame. Boards will get attached to the copper plate, which should help dissipate heat into the diamond plate 1/4" steel.. and the air gaps created by the diamond pattern should also help with heat.
But again, this is new to me.. and you folks seem to have some serious experts hanging around in here. Any help is very much appreciated!
