Ah ok Ty for response. So the vero 18 as long as I stay under 50 c I'm ok. I measured all around on top near the cob everywhere I'm like maxing 30 c but mostly 27 so then my setup is ok I. Assuming?

Where are you guys measuring the temp? I'm not sure if I am measuring right I have very 18 on a large heats ink 40 inches long with one 120 fan in the middle obviously the sides are a little hotter. If I measure on the top where the fins are I'm getting like 27 c but I measure the light itself...

you think the pico ezmate will handle all that voltage. i know its rated at 300V but as java said it might go over in the beginning.

Hahaha same way here I have no idea but I'm doing 5 per bar and two bars so 10 vero but I'm doing bonsai and peppers n stuff so I might alternate like a 4000k and 3000 or so

ty much for your help and you think all 4000k for all ten or mabye add in 4 3000k for more of a spectrum

So you think I should run a 600 v rated wire in series I'm also going to use the pico ezmate connection. You think that would be my best best?

Okay I ordered most of the stuff. Supra or anyone that has done this high voltage stuff. I'm ruining the 10 vero 18 I think I might be at max with the meanwell driver or over by .5 is that ok? Also since I'm doing these in series what is your recommended awg and I'm assuming I need a higher...

Java where did you buy your tap from did you do a forming tap.cause some taps have a h6 h4 kind of thing on them. What Size drill but did you use also TyTy

Ty Java I'm going to order up some stuff and get my project going there will be pics keep posted

Yea not so much the m3 actual size but the length of it. Meaning if the heatsink base is .14 kind of hard to find a screw that won't go through. So I'm guessing if I tap through the heatsink and use a m3 screw but a longer length where it will go through the heatsink I sure that won't be a...

Is it ok if I drill through the heatsink instead of a blind hole considering I can find such a small screw.

Are you sure vero18 is m3 could of sworn it said 2.5. Also how long should these screws be for the heatsink I don't want to go through correct.

Ty much yea I was thinking the two bar would be better I was going to run 5 on each 40 inch 4.85 heatsink. Do you think I will need two fans for those two bars. Is there a power supply unit that I can adjust the output to run those fans at lower voltage and what not. I want to drill and tap so...

Ty guys did any of you look at my PDFs trying to figure out what the best placement would be for my 10 vero

Sorry couldnt upload an image. Which one would best suit my 4 by 2 area. I made a few diagrams with heatsinks and leds on them. Sorry for my newb word drawing but it shows pretty much what i want to do. Which you think is better? ty for all your input.
