REALSTYLES New CXA/2 Studio Build

I'm making a 500w CXA/2 Studio 3590 5600k BD build. Here's some pics of the build. I finally figured out how to mount the drivers and figured out how to hide the wagos. I'm almost done just took another smoke break lol and I'm still designing in my stoned mind lol.

I call shotgun!

Share the stoned musings with the rest of us?

Impressive design, I like the rectangle frame, brilliant realy. Where can I order?

Hey- Wago my Eggo!

I see ten CoB's in a square. nice idea. two 250w power supplies, for 500w total. real nice. all you need is some Far Red LED's mounted along the perimeter and you got real nice. peace.

I made the frame using angle aluminum 36in by 1in then riveted a 20in piece of angle aluminum to get that frame. I'll post everything I did when I'm done making the light,.

I'm thinking of using something like this

I used some 1" flat aluminum to mount the drivers and I made jig to mark the holes for the heat sinks

Ok the things I used to make this light.

1. 10-CXA2 3590 Studio 5600k 38v BD 93 CRI
2. 2-HLG240H-C1400A
3. 10-Massive passive 133mm heat sinks
4. 10-Ideal 50-2303CR
5. 10-Ideal Reflector holders
6. 10-90 degree reflectors
7. 4-1"x1"x4' Angle Aluminum
8. 2-3/4"x1/2"x20" Angle Aluminum
9. 2-1"x11" Flat Aluminum

The miscellaneous items and tools

1. Hacksaw
2. Hand Rivet Gun
3. Rivets
4. Drill and Drill bits
5. M3 and M4 screws
6. Hex Wrenchs

And the list is still growing lol. I haven't finish designing the light but will be done soon so I can make multiple.

Build on hold until I receive my other parts. Project boxes and male cord connectors so this light will probably my design for sale lets see how it turns out.

Looks good so far !

More to the list you'll need 2 Hammond Enclosures to hide the Wagos 1 on each side and you'll need a cord receptacle. Plus some rubber grommets.

Why is everyone in to the wago connectors?

The ideal power plugs are good for 6amps
I like em anyway.....

love wagos because seemingly fail proof and mechanical lock / unlock is easy to see and do. Cheap too...but only available online from here

I like what you have going so far

Wagos are easy too use lol and you can reuse them over and over again. Don't get me wrong because you gave me another idea and thanks again because I can use those instead of the Wagos

What's the advantage of 5600k

Compared to 3500k there is more vegetative related energy(Blue spectrum) and less flowering related energy(red spectrum). More vegetative energy typically promotes more root development and more flowering energy promotes more fruit/flower development.

5600K is the accepted, film industry, standard for a "Clear sky" day light at noon. The film industry uses the higher correlated color temperatures for "Overcast" daylight. I can't say exactly why the film industry standards are the way they are.

Instead of WAGO's I make connectors from spades and lugs. Works great for me and reusable too. Similar to what SupraSPL does. I get them from most hardware stores real cheap and they are unnoticeable . I use multi connectors for my power connections but those are not reusable ones. peace
