Hey everyone

I'll be posting updates to this thread as I get the board built

Here's my design idea so far (do your own conversions!) measurements in inches

So the plan is to run 5 ISH150 boards, one on each corner and one in the middle. These will be wired in series and using an hlg480 driver (I think)

In between the 150 boards will be the new r-strips. Wiring these in series also and on it's own driver so I can flip it on during flower.

Sry for the crude drawing but I'm a tile guy not an artist Image

It looks a great idea, will be great to see it finished. It's going to be a pain but will be amazing. Good luck

Re: Help me design my led!

So here is the final product!

Frame is built from angle aluminum.
I bought an aluminum cookie sheet off amazon and cut it into 4 pieces to hold the strips. Cheap ebay heat sinks to try and cool them.
No heat at all until 40 watts per panel, I wouldn't go higher than that though. Fuckers are bright!

5 x ish120 panels powered with hlg 320 wired in series. I added 4 led strips bought from ebay, lm301 b diodes, wired in parallel on hlg 240. Both drivers are adjustable

Led strips are 2700k only flipping those on in flower

If you want to see this thing in action check out my auto glueberry diary!ImageImageImage
