I think I need:
2 4x2 aluminum plates. Gauge?
4 hlg-185h-c700a drivers
56 Gen 2 eb 560mm (don’t know what this is)
BXEB-L0560Z-35E2000-C-B3 Model number for led strips.
? Wire nuts
? Tape
@dbrn32
Is this a good list?
Sure looks great. Get .125 (1/8”) aluminum or thicker.
There’s thermal transfer tape on amazon, two sided you can peel and stick. Get the 20mm wide.
BXEB-L0560Z-35E2000-C-B3 Model number for led strips.
Probably get yourself a 25 pack of 2 port wagos. You may not need them all, but you could use up to 5 per driver.
If you want waterproof connectors on power cords, get them. Power cords too.
A spool of 18awg solid 300v wire.
Whatever you plan to hang light from and mount drivers with.

Reset the timer so they’ll be sleeping from 10 pm to 10 am.
They all look healthy and strong
Oh and I almost forgot. Last night I water/cal-mag ed the clones
IN 6.3 741
OUT 6.3. 6552
IN 6.1 708
OUT 7.5 7114
They’re in the armoire until I get this light thing done. Which by the way doesn’t appear to be all that painful

Very excited for your DIY light build. With @dbrn32 guiding you it will be simpler than you think. My strip lights are the bomb and if I can do it anyone can!

Sunday August 5 66 days from sprout 3 days after flip
I’ve been busy working on my new flower room 
I decided to use the other guest bedroom for the new lights and leave the other a veg room 
I did manage to snap some pics of the girls before they went to sleep
The clones are still in the armoire on 24/0 under the cfls. I supercropped the taller one yesterday. I kinda rushed it and split the skin a little so she’s got a bandaid for a couple days but it’s not bad at all.
That’s it til tomorrow. Some of my light parts should be here in the morning

Looks pretty good. I would however get 3 prong cords. The hlg- drivers are case grounded, so it would be proper to have the ground connected.
I apologize for not posting those links. I posted them, but must’ve put them I wrong thread. I’ll grab the links for stuff I use right now.

1 of these per driver, or two 2 packs.

For power cords I usually cut what I need from spool of 14/3 or 16/3 soow and attach male plug. But you can use a piece of extension cord with female end removed too. If you’re doing 1 cord per driver, 16/3 will be plenty. And it fits very well in those waterproof barrel connectors I linked above too.

Lol, you don’t know what you’re building? Well, it’s either a quantum board, or a cob. Either one will be a huge improvement from what you’re using now. You’re gonna love it.
