OrganicGro said:

Thanks for the quick reply Mark. Forgive the stupid questions, do I need anything extra that's not in the 5 kit to run at 50w per cob?

Thanks again

So the 1-10v dimmer switch I got from cutter won't work?

Please note Dimming is possible with both a potentiometer or 0-10V dimming, the choice is yours

Project complete dimmer works great! All together I have about 10 hrs into it not bad for a guy who knew absolutely nothing a month ago. Moral of the story if I can do this anyone can.

nice! tell us about your grounding and what you did there....

With the dimmer switch I hooked up the purple wire to the positive and the Grey wire to the negative then I just capped the yellow. It doesn't draw the full 217-220 on my kilo-watt anymore it's like 195ish (that's on 1 driver) but I won't be running full out anyway

any word on the stellas?

@welight how long we have to wait for 200w driver ?is it any way to provide us with 400w driver without buying the 8 cob kit?

I Googled how to ground your diy led light and found a few links I'm going to read up on before I put it up and start running it as well as have an electrician look it over and double check my work just to be on the safe side.

I am trying one today, the holder covers a lot of the sink so need to find good placement on the holes

@weligh what kind of aluminum alloy your heat sinks have?

@welight 1070?

I'm almost positive it's the common 6061

Also gg sinks made from 1070 I don't know if they have the same supplier...
So same alloy , a bit bigger surface area than the 120 mm heatsinks which is 50 watt rated .
Did I missing something?
Is it any other reason that those sinks should not work well for my setup?
