Just got my 100 watt driver today...

★★★kushed_out★★★

Now i gotta choose a heat sink and fan combo

★★★kushed_out★★★

This driver will be drivin a 100 watt/36v/3.5A.... 6500k multichip

★★★kushed_out★★★

So im still undecided on which combo will be best

★★★kushed_out★★★

Cant wait till i can actually use my light meter to see what lux this chip is pushing.. i know it said about 11000 or so lumens will see when i convert my lux readings to lumens

★★★kushed_out★★★

Will have an update tomorrow... been crazy busy and i cut indiviuall heatsinks for my drivers on my panel.. so tomorrow ill be attaching the drivers to heatsinks and if i got time ill do more but tomorow gonna really busy so we will have to see

Happy Easter Everybody... i must admit i havent gotten around to putting time into my project.. been real hectic lately but will deff get something done today...

★★★kushed_out★★★

So got around to doing some work on the panel

★★★kushed_out★★★

I hot glued the drivers all 11 of them to their own heatsink and tapped two holes for screws as they will be screwed done to the top plate... probably going to run out of screws...

★★★kushed_out★★★

Put some thermal grease onto the baseplates and screwed them down to aluminum plate... going to run out of paste soon not sure if im goin to get those silicon thermal sheets on ebay...

★★★kushed_out★★★

Placed the drivers into their permanent home on the fan plate... not enough screws for the 12 drivers... gonna have to get to hardware store for screws

★★★kushed_out★★★

I cut four inch long + & - wires for all the drivers.. i cut the two ends on each of the wires

★★★kushed_out★★★

Attached the + and - to each baseplate and pushed the wires through the pre dilled holes

★★★kushed_out★★★

Really like that clean look from the baseplates and theres enough room for all the leds to get a lens each

★★★kushed_out★★★

Its coming together a lil bit slower then expected but hey thats another story

★★★kushed_out★★★

It seems this stuff is the worst annoyance of this whole build or the multiple holes i drilled and tapped.. greasy stuff vs metal chips.. hhhmm not sure but moving on

★★★kushed_out★★★

Lately ive been taking a couple apart to remove the stock lens.. i was testing the led with and without the stock lens... ill post my results soon since i lost my first test results... btw these two i exactly removed the lens and the jelly feeling phospor layer

★★★kushed_out★★★

I made a few mistakes in this build due to over medication.. nothing serious and didnt blow no drivers/psu crossing my fingers...

★★★kushed_out★★★

I placed the driver the opposite way and now i have an outline and an extra hole
