This is much more basic than growmau5's awesome Canopy 10 build but the layout and 8020 ideas I took from him (as well as pretty much everything I know about led's and cobs lol). I am familiar with 8020 though, I have a sim racing cockpit I made from 8020 extrusions.. good stuff!
I upgrade my 2 12 cob cxb 3590 fixtures from mean well hlg 185 1400b drivers to 185 1750b drivers, to make them a ~750 watt fixture instead of ~600 watts.. so after doing so I had 6 drivers sitting here with nothing to do. So I thought I would build a light using them and replace one of my hps se 1000's with it.
I am using 6 Vero 29 Gen 7 C's 3000k 80 cri and 4 Vero 29 Gen 7 C's 3000k 90 cri.
I am going to power them with 5 hlg 185 1400b's, so ~100 watts each.
The heatsinks are 133mm from Northerngrowlights, they were out of the 100 watt passive models, so I decided to put a fan on the 133's (although I bet it would have been fine without, as I have great air flow/movement in my room). The cxb 3590's are on 100 mm passive heatsinks running at ~62.5 watts each and heatsink temps at it hottest spot is only 124F. (up 10 degrees from running at 50 watts).
I started building it last night, here is my progress so far.
Here is the layout (seem familiar?)
Brackets made for heatsinks and all mounted up.
Drivers mounted, power supply for fans mounted, fans mounted and all wiring done for fans. Pulls 14.5 watts all 10 fans running. Made bracket and mounted dimmers to it, not sure what to do with it yet though. The orange is a nice product from 8020, plastic strips that snap into the extrusion slots, so all wiring can hide in the slots, they have it in a variety of colors, orange is my favorite color so I chose orange.
