Haha did anyone else receive their stuff from heatsink usa wrapped up in old newspapers? Talk about being on a budget... no bubble wrap? I just found this funny.. Anyways the driver came from mouser as well... now I'm just waiting on the Veros ... much to my absolute stupidity I completely...

Nah its cool, more knowledge. Ya I was just just joking about that... I know there's ways I'm just too lazy so I went with one driver

Right I plan on mounting the driver and fan to the heatsink as well via bolts and nuts. I get what you're saying but my goal was affordability and functionality while not shocking myself. And also I know this is going to probably annoy you but one wago 5 pin didn't have enough holes for 5...

Right between you and SDS its making sense. So I should be lright with my diagram. Both the power supply and HS each individually connected by wire to the grounds via a wago 3. The power supply will be grounded as well as the HS which contacts any other metal parts in my build... thank guys I'm...

That's why I was thinking wouldn't it be fine to just ground one part as long as it's in contact with all the other. I thought grounding/earthing pretty much serves the same purpose as a neutral wire to take the of flow electricity back tripping the breaker, the only difference being that the...

Well I think using wagos and the ez mate connectors the only exposed metal will be the heatsink which is why I thought all I needed to do was earth that and then since everything else metal is in contact with the heatsink it'd be fine There's no angles/frames it's just one large heatsink that...

Ehh hopefully he didn't see this post then XD just kidding.. Alright well im paranoid now in a good way... I'll earth the shit out of everything that's metal then. Hell Ill even encase the chain hanging the light in rubber or heatshrink tubing or w.e. I guess I'd rather overkill it then get...

Oh I know.. let me rephrase... I feel like the guy with his thumb up his butt in a room full of smart people XD But I do welcome the knowledge I'm just confused on the form it comes in lol

I don't know If I should feel offended or not Y-Y-Yand thanks it's slightly based off one of yours but is just not clean at all and no encased in anything...

Thanks I'll try going in straight lines next time

LOL did you pretty much just say I draw like a 6 year old? Well jokes on you because my friends in high school art class use to tell me my drawings look like a retarded monkey finger painted with its own feces ...the feels... Anyways I know your pretty damn smart when it comes to this stuff...

Also can anyone tell me if they see a problem with my wiring? I'd hate to lose a couple hundred :P

Sorry I'm not great with electrical terminology. So pretty much screw in the flat bottom somewhere on the heatsink until the wires are sandwiched between metal or....

Hey thanks for the heads up but I'm not spreading them out on purpose. I thot about it but that means making a fixture out of 90 degree metal angles, more drilling, mounting, more heatsinks, and more wiring. I plan to build a reflector out of hammered aluminum so I don't lose too much light out...

What's up everyone. So I'm super excited I got 5 vero 29s and a meanwell hlg 185h c 1050 coming in about a week or so. I plan on using thermal adhesive and kapton tape to mount them on a 7.28 x 7.28 inch heatsink from heatsink usa cooled by this fan...

Yes sadly another led driver question... looking to power 5 vero 10s at 175ma in a string to one driver... can't seem to find one I swear I know how to use Google but I don't get any hits... or am I just stupid?

Do you eat beef jerky? Its those little paper packets with silica gel that you get with a lot of food thats supposed to stay dry... You dont need to dry it to a crisp lol. theres plenty of tutorials on proper drying/curing

Mmmh glass is kind of fragile If you're gonna bury it in a glass jar Cold shouldnt be a problem. Heat is a problem but since it is underground you have a natural cooler that should keep temps constant Dont worry about mold just make sure its dried and cured properly and in a airtight container...

It was more like aged "Blue Cheese" XD but yea

If its cured properly months, I had bud that I forgot about in a mason jar for a year+ and it was still fire
