HLG 600 Quantum board build

[Askmax]

Hey guys, I could really use some help with my build. I have never done anything like this and it's all new to me.
My parts are :
QB288 V1 x8
Slate 2 Double Heatsink x4
HLG 600h b x2
So I have done a ton of research including watching YouTube videos, and lurking on a bunch of threads on multiple forums. I guess im just nervous about actually building it. I have a 4x8 tent and want to mount the drivers outside the tent, I was wondering exactly how I could go about this. My current thought would be to buy 14 or 16 awg wire and use wagos to connect them them to the drivers 2 output wires, and as those wires have 2 conducters I would need to buy -2 wire right? Would I lose a lot of power by running extra wire 10-15 feet? Also would I need any tools for this build besides the wire strippers, multimeter, wagos, and screwdriver I already have? Instructions on how to do this with wagos would be highly appreciated.
Thanks for any help.

There’s everything just some assembly required.

I have all my parts already, I was looking for help or advice on assembly. Thanks anyway

Those drivers come with two outputs each, so four outputs to two boards each. Run thick wire to your fixture from each output, then do the split off into 18ga near the boards.

With 14ga wire at 54V and 11A you will drop .1%/ft and with 16ga it's .17%.

Example 10' run: 14ga 1% of 54V=.54V, 16ga 1.7% of 54V=.92V. So, let's say you lose 1V on your 10' run with 16ga means around 11 watts wasted to the wire. If you run four runs of thick wire to the boards as I suggested, your total loss would be only 2.5W.

Ok but how do I go about extending the wire itself?

I used cheap extension cords from Walmart($3) cut the ends off, wire to fixture and to driver...just make sure you have neg and pos. Usually 1 wire will have writing on it.
