Gold Leaf DWC Hydroponic

The light has been assembled.I have decided I like working with aluminum. The holes didn’t even need to be threaded before I screwed in the boards. (M3 x 0.5mm with a 7/64 pilot hole). I used #8 x 3/8 bolts (7/32 pilot hole) to mount the drivers, but I didn’t really need the nuts. I should have gone shorter on the bolts maybe (1/4 long). I also used a single gang box and a double switch so I could shut either bank of lights off. Only thing I don’t like is the duct tape holding down the board wires, but it’s better than letting them hang freely to gat yanked.

Here are the pictures:

Thank you for your advice. @MAXHeadRoom @dbrn32 @Aolelon

Really excited to see the girls grow in their new environment.

Yeah! Natural white lighting too. Never liked the burple. Couldn’t see the real color of the plants.
