My 4 x Vero29 DiY LED Modular LED Strip Idea.

Hey everyone! I'm working through an idea to build somewhat simple and modular COB Led lights. My idea is to build strips that can be daisy chained together. I'm doing this for a couple reasons. First, it allows for more diverse lighting set ups. The more individual light panels the more diverse ways you can set them up. Second reason is for price. I ain't no rich man. Building a prototype that can be multiplied in the future and daisy chained is ideal for my poor coffers. Third, ease of construction. I plan on using some CPU heat sinks and the classic L type aluminum bar stuff you find at a hardware store for my frames.

Basically I want to create a frame that supports the CPU coolers in a straight line. The edges of the cpu cooler would sit on the L bracket. There is a mock up attached to give an of idea. It's a simple photoshop and I hope it gets the point across enough.

Now the parts. This is where I would love some double checking. Here is my parts list shared as a shopping cart. Let me know if there is anything wrong with this or if you have any suggestions.

I went the same route, driving Vero at lower currents but wouldn't do it now. 3 CXB3590 from KB is similar in price to 4 Vero 29s...

Also, you can save a good bit of money with Meanwell drivers over what you have picked out. Can't get them at digikey but even with separate shipping you can still save a lot. Might want to check out Wago222 for wire connections if you're not already aware of them. Ring connectors make grounding the unit a snap.
