Once the driver is grounded, everything is grounded.

No ground on the driver, framing, heatsinks. Does your driver even have a ground connection? I don't think so.

If you want to put a fuse in there, put it on the AC side of the driver not on the DC, and use a slow blow fuse so you don't have to change it every time your lights come on because of the in rush current.

yes driver has three wires input, two output.

Started laying out some led designs for a large qb rig for the veg room and then the lights went out and saved me :)
This will probably change a few times before I bolt it all together.need a few more t5

sixstring · Dec 21, 2017

Got a few tables built,still on the fence if I will put wheels on these,not sure how much I would need to move them once everything is up and running smoothly.
Need to start building out all the irrigation now, neverending

Some free samples from the grow store :)

stonestacker · Dec 21, 2017

Looking good Sixer. That's all the fun shit setting up and designing the rooms and equipment. I'm wondering why you didn't make those drain tables. And I love wheels on my tables. It just makes it easy to clean under them if nothing else. Your tables are short, but I build shelf under the tables and use them for storage that rolls around.

sixstring · Dec 21, 2017

im still thinking about putting trays on these 2 tables and growing slightly smaller plants on that side of the room.but i dont really water enough to need drainage.the led side will still just have larger plants on the floor i think,that might change as well lol

they use the same samsung lm561 chip as all the bigger boards.just alot less chips on the qb120 so no heatsinks needed.yeah those tables are because im tired of crawling around to water lol
