That is a LOT of heatsinkUSA stock. Lots of individual cuts. Not cheap eh?

That's a beast. Are they all in series? That's a lot of voltage.

americans, always assuming they are in the middle of the world and everyone else too...

you can buy them already cut over here, around 4eur for the 20cm, around 2,50 for the 10cm long heatsinks...

no, i'm not THAT insane. 3 hlg 240 700 power up 10 3590 each, one hlg 320 1050 powers up 20 vero 18, split up in 2 parallel circuits to get them down to 525mA.

pretty much using all the cobs i have from previous builds.

That's what I'm talking about! I'm building mine soon, and something like this was in my head for my setup. Awesome job.

My first DIY LED light, and it's my first LED grow light.
