Would you recommend doing 56cm in two different plates? One driver per
If you can increase the size of plate for cooling yes. Otherwise itâs pretty much a wash. The heat watts per surface area needs to get better in order to improve.

My friend building it with me is an iron worker so he can get pretty much any sized piece of alu from work, what would i need to work with?
Can he get some small pieces of channel you can mount to top to create more of a heatsink out of the plate? That would solve a lot.

Yeah probably, what size?
Whatever you can get. 24âx24â would probably be plenty for 560âs on 200 watt driver, or equivalent on 1120âs and 400 watt if add surface area to plate. Some 1x1 channel work well or even 1x.5 anything along those lines if you get enough of them on there.

How thick should plate be?
1/8â usually good, if you get bigger a little thicker probably wouldnât hurt.

Alright! Ill get shopping! Thanks as always! I think I can pull this for about the same price as a cmh fixture and be able to run it much closer!

welp this week was bad⌠real bad.,. first of car wouldnt start no more 350$ later it still doesnt, broke my brand new phone, lost my job and came home to bb and blue cheese having a full res because tap was off⌠fml⌠citrus skunk also stretched over my lights⌠cant be worse right now I think! welp!
Damn bro, sorry to hear. Keep trucking along and things will fall back into place.
After a good night of sleep, feels good to be home with my lovely girlfriend. trying to figure out if im cutting blue cheese and bubble it or try to keep it alive⌠buds lost all smell and are very dry. blueberry got trough it tho and buds are still hard as rocks.

I think you just added another level of paranoia to me⌠is the res on. Iâll add that too âdid I start a fireâ. 
Sorry to hear about the job. You were mining or O&G in Quebec, no?
yeah i was blasting in Quebec. welp ill find something real soon im not worried, more worried about my plants dieing atm lol! i cut blue cheese and will bubble it, genetic was not great from the start so i moved lemon zkittles and my small garlic zkittlez wich smells amazing in the 2x3 with blueberry, i switched BB to overdrive also.

Hello everyone, pictures are missing, sorry, phone is broke. blueberry is bulking up nicely and smelling good. Woops is really big now and smelling good also.
@dbrn32 I went and planned our build with my friend, room will be 30"x70"x58"
we planned on buying 16 x BXEB-L1120Z 3500k with one HLG 320h-c1050b and one 240h-c700b on a 24x 46 plate of 1/8 alu, added channel if needed.
how would i go about wiring these and how would you place them with these different current? 9 drivers on one and 7 drivers on another.
thanks alot

Youâre going to exceed the line to line voltage rating on the hlg-240 running 9 strips on it. The voltage drop at each strip obviously wouldnât be that high, but you shouldnât design like that. And Iâm thinking you will need to add some surface area to the plate.
To answer your question though, you would want the strips with highest output near the edges and lower powered strips in the middle.

Are you sure i am exceeding voltage? if i cheked correctly they output 357 and 305v max?
Yessir, connectors rated for 300 volts.
