Hello everyone,
This will be my first ever build, but I have built speaker towers before. I don't want to pay 1200-1800 for a good LED setup, and this would be more fun anyways. I am looking for something that can power a 4x4 or even 5x5 and am thinking of getting the following to run at around 600w dimmable:
8x Citizen 1818 COBs at 1400mA (3500k light color) $24each (200)
====
1 MeanwellHLG-600H-54B $200
====
8x Ideal COB holders $3each (24)
====
8x Reflectors for the Citizen CLU048 $1.50each (24)
====
1000K Linear Pot with a 12.5K Resistor for 10-100% Dimming for 8 chips
====
8x180mm Passive heatsink for Citizen CLU048 COB $18each (144)
====
9x Wago 222-412 splicing conectors
Except for wiring and artic silver, I think I have everything accounted for. I do think this should do a 5x5 on the low end, but I could always space them closer and do 4x4. I could always also get a second Meanwell and run 4 chips each, but a higher wattage. I did want a housing/bracing for the lights and didn't know where to source other than trying to weld my self from something as light as possible. Any help would be great. If I were to run this in a 4x4 it would give me 37w/ft in a 5x5 I would only get 24w/ft. Spacing would be 3 then 2 in the middle, then another 3 on the other side. I think these numbers are OK though as I'm dealing with LEDs.
