yup they are dope. I like working with the push in connectors rather than the wago lever nuts. winds up being a smaller footprint vs multiple wagos as well.

haha! i think we may need shirts of this now :)

Thanks! Was a fun build and thought you would all enjoy. Almost everything about this fixture is RIU intel that I found or learned about here. Couldn't have done this without all of you! Special shout out to the original don dada @Rocket Soul for all of his knowledge and advice!!! Also...

fwiw those Delta 185W-WAAA drivers are pulling 275W from the wall if I max them out! I have to figure out where the volt meter is but will measure it later. datasheet says the VO goes to 27 but its either dumping more voltage or current to hit that #. will never run that hard but nice to...

Here are the hollow machine bolts if anyone is interested. I used M6x10 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174027590278

Here are the terminal blocks. Big up to whoever found these in the Samsung H strips thread. I prefer these over regular wagos any day! https://www.arrow.com/en/products/3002894/phoenix-contact?q=3002894 https://www.arrow.com/en/products/3002878/phoenix-contact?q=3002878...

@babybud found a legendary deal on these 4ft segments last year for $1 each w free shipping. I only bought 20, wish I got 100. https://www.rollitup.org/t/samsung-h-series-strips-arrow-seems-to-be-blowing-them-out-what-a-deal.1029150/post-15781467...

Thanks! This will be used for a full cycle grow in a 2x3 tent. I just flipped said tent to flower last weekend so it will only be on flower duty at first. Gen 1 strips yes. I actually had 5 of them from my previous Vesta build and only had to buy 3, otherwise I would have splurged and got the...

it's finally done. 8 Vesta 2ft strips. Each channel has its own 185W 24V driver that will run up to 975ma. this let's me run either 2700k or 5000k on its own or in combination to get anything in between. While these strips can technically take full blast on both channels, I will only run...

yeah I missed this. what I said about stranded wire probably doesn't matter. if the issue exists when switch is off I agree with @grotbags

im guessing stranded wire is probably your issue. did u tin the ends? or just twist them? I always use solid core to go into strips. I only use stranded to connect my driver to the fixture. all it takes is one stray piece to not make it into the slot.

definitely strain dependant. and I'd even say microclimate depends too. force flowering a plant too young can also stress it and cause higher chance of herms. yes it can work and might be fine but you are rolling the dice. in OPs situation if no other options I would go for it, and keep a...

the way you wired them is a really cool solution for a parallel build so that you don't wind up with the "spider" of wires to deal with... but I'm wondering if that many wagos is adding to the problem. most likely guess above is correct tho, some wire is stripped back too far. are u using...

Got it wired up finally! now I just need to build a box for it somehow. found these 12V 2A pwm fans on Amazon for $21. had to order some cables as well to get everything hooked up but it works! not bad for a fan w speed and temp controller. sucks it doesn't have RH but it does have the...

subbed. just got a box from arrow w 20awg wire and some terminal connectors. I have a new fixture I have to just wire up and will have photos sometime this weekend. can't wait to see your design, looks dope so far!

I bet HLG doesn't test their boards at the firing range tho! rofl
