Hello all,
I have 2x King Plus 1500w LED grow lights. One with Veg/Flower switches, and an older model with only a single switch.
When the single-switch one had an issue, I was sent a replacement LED panel. This included all 150 10w Epistar dual-chip LED's on a heat sink with the 4 wire connectors on the corners.
Turned out this was not the issue. It was one of the four power supplies. At this point, King Plus refused to send me any more parts on warranty so I was on my own.
I ordered 5 identical power supplies from the same Chinese manufacturer. One to replace my broken one, and the others as backups since except for shipping they were very cheap.
Now I have a perfectly good extra LED board and 4 good power supplies. I have plenty of suitable power cords. I also have located almost the same LED driver I can order from China.
My goal is to put together these parts into a safe and operable new light fixture.
Below is a picture of a working one opened up.
I need to acquire a power inlet and on/off switch. Fans. Wiring. And a case or hanging solution.
My key questions as of right now are these;
Should this replacement driver work the same as the original? Both pictured below.
What can I use for a power inlet? Would something like this be suitable?
Would any 3x static pressure fans of the correct size be suitable?
How should all of this be wired together? Except for the obvious clip-on connectors, I am not sure exactly how the power inlet/switch connects to the drivers/power supply/fans. Any tips about this would be super valuable.
And lastly about the case. Is it really needed or can I just rig this up to hang like a quantum board? Sure it may be ugly seeing all those wires etc... But it's going to be operated in a well-controlled environment. So nothing should ever be touching it. Or is it realistic to source a suitable "case" to put this in?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide! If there are any existing guides/posts covering this core content I would also be happy for links as well.
