What do u mean exactly by “suspending it”? How would I do that? I mean my heatsinks are only 1” wide, so driver would only be in contact with an inch at each end of the driver. I can also point a clip fan towards it to keeps temps down?

Thanks man! Yeah, was a little nervous to plug it in lol, but once I did it actually took a sec which had me thinking “ oh shit” what did I do then they came on and omg is it bright lol. Only thing I’m worried bout now is i wired it up with the driver mounted on top of heat sinks using some...

Oh shit, well wtf am I gonna do now as I already wired it up with the driver on top. @Rocket Soul . I finished my 1st light earlier and was nervous to plug it in, but it worked and is bright as fuck!

@diggs99 , @1212ham , @ChiefRunningPhist , @coreywebster , @2com , I want to thank you all for all your help and guidance and want u to know that I greatly appreciate it! Sry if I missed anyone else that helped me as I thank u too! The only issue I have now is, I wired it up with the driver on...

The positive side is right there and the negative would reach as well so I guess I’ll just do that. Is it ok to do what I asked tho, use my extra thermal tape on the wagis and driver and put them on top?

I was thinking of splitting the black protective coating and run positive to one side and negative to the other side and use some of the thermal tape I have left over and use it to hold the driver and Wagos in place on top of the fixture, would that be ok? Thanks bud!

I noticed in the example that the negative wire is quite longer than the positive which is not the case with the wires coming out of the driver. I would like to have the Wagos for the Negatives going down one side of the frame and Wagos for the Positives going down the other side like in this...

So I drew out a diagram on paper so I could try to visualize it better and how I'm looking at it is I'm gonna need 8 Wagos per fixture, is that correct? 1 that the driver + goes into and use that Wago for the first 2 strips, then another one for each of the next 3 rows of strips which equals 4...

Yeah, this is me prepping 1st fixture.

Thanks, Ill do that then. I think I know how I’m gonna do it now lol and should look pretty clean with wagos on top along the frame. Im using extrusion and ill just use a small piece of thermal tape to hold the Wagos as that shit is sticky as hell

Thats what I was thinking. Would running a piece wire along the top of the heatsink to the other end to connect the 2nd light strip be too long? It would be close to 45” long. Im not runnung single strips, Im running 2 per heatsink

No, I have 15 5 port Wagos, just thought it would cleaner the other way. Trying to figure out where to put the Wagos? Could I just stick them on top of the heat sink?

I'm doing the same exact thing lol, overthinking it big time. Oh, you mean how you and a few other are sticking with me as well lol. You are def right about there being some good dudes on here, very patient and helpful! I was on another forum in the beginning and got nowhere near the...

I've been reading your thread that u attached and there's some good stuff in there. Like u said, a lot of the same ppl commenting on my thread are on yours lol. I'm trying to figure out a way to make it look as clean as possible and those terminal blocks/bus bars look interesing as I could prob...

I don't know, I can't be too far behind if I even am lmao

I'm trying bro lol, but wiring this up is making me nervous lol. I know I prob already asked this, but can I put two 18AWG wires into 1 slot of 5 port lever Wago? Thanks

Lol, yeah I know that. I was just checking to see if the wire fit

Thanks, but I have no clue what I’m looking at lol. This is all new to me. I’ll see if I can figure it out tho

No I thought I had 16 but I was wrong and I do have 18 and tried but maybe cause I didn’t strip the wire yet and its a tight ass fit. I did look up those Wago 2065 connectors and they’re rated for 18-24 awg so I should be good once I strip the wire

That they do, no worries I’ll just wire up each strip. Also, my 18 gauge wire doesn’t fit smh
