Alright well let me start off I decided to do a LED build because I don't want to have to replace bulbs every so often, also the cooler running temps is a plus. My price for this is in the 300-500$ range. This will be used for a 3x3 area.

I don't mean to come off as a needy fuck but what are all the parts I am going to need to build it. I kind of want to get one of those big heat sinks and have all the COBs on that. I am also not to sure on what drivers and chips are good to put together.

Hey, I'll tell you what you need for a DIY if you're doing it like aluminium angle passive heatsink style.

Cobs, driver
Thermal paste or any other TIM material
Cob holder, reflectors etc if needed
Heatsink with the right hole positions and screws
Aluminum frame (and rivets, bolts)
Screws for heatsink to aluminium
Something for hanging off alu frame (I used keyrings)
Something to fix frame to ceiling/top
Chains maybe for hanging.
Box to hide the connections. Cable glands to make it look neat from box.
On off switch if you want for box.
Wago connectors, or your choice for joining wires.
Power plug for LED driver
Potentiometer if you wanna dim.( Solder with pot)
18awg wire with 200v+ insulation if you're going the constant current low amp.
That's all I can think of atm from doing my diy lights.

Edit: you're in the US. Just go to timber lol
