DAS COB Panel Build

  1. Hey what's up blades?
    Just thought I'd share my new panel build, inspired deeply by Supra and RealStyles

    I am running 2x 3000k, 1x 3500k, and 2x 4000k CREE 3590 COBs, with 2303 COB holders, MeanWell Driver, 2x 200mm BitFinex PC Fans (132CFM each), a 8.5" x 16" heatsink, Article Silver Thermal Paste and an assortment of machine screws, wingnuts, self taping screws.

    Currently running at 500mah but will likely dial down to 250mah tomorrow, I am just doing a stress test right now to see how hot this bad boy gets over 12 hours


    Here are some pics of the build, and the Cab it is going into. I will be building a second panel to replace the UFOs below. I am about 90% finished. Have some slight changes to make to the Cab. And am going to add a fans speed controller with temp probes to the panel to monitor heat sink temps, and will tidy up my electrical work a bit.

  2. Dude. Yes. Post more updates and details of your wiring pls?
     
  3. For sure, I'll snap some more pics when lights come on tonight. Girls are in dark period at the moment!
     
  4. I am about 2 hours into my stress test, and the heatsink is COLD to the touch. Room temp for sure. Will check back at 6 hours. And then 12. So far only about 2 above ambient. So far looking like my best idea was to dump that HPS and build this new panel.

    Not sure if its dialed down or not. It may or may not be stripped, but I'm amazed at how cool the heatsink is. If its running at full power than this is more than I could even ask for

    Red Poison Auto is under it for now. A Cinderella99 will join it later today

  5. So today I made the wiring permanent. Shortened the wires in between the COBs and then added hot glue to hold the wires in place and to insulate the wire from short circuiting.

  8. Got a link? I'm on mobile and it doesn't let me see people's signatures or threads lol

    Such a good feeling when you make something yourself. I'm building at least 4 more of these at some point lol
