OK !
here's the
Slappy's SSL line 1st model Note I didn;t do wire maint. at ALL ! will do that on the newer bars as they evolve
The Slappy#1Demo

Plz opinions welcome ( - or + ) that a 185 -1400 meany acts as a handle as well used some stand offs I made

Questions ? ? ? ?

I'm been off lately , health issues soo this is way behind my own schedule
reality of cleaning the garage & then rebuilding the grow room TO Be Able to hang new lites in
was important too . So to all in taking on a big project / pacing is a issue

 

[Fastslappy]

I have a fan harness already to go
all mini molex & a 2 amp pwr supply with a molex on the end , a pcb with 5 mini pin slippers
I'm Not gonna re-sleeve all these 64's
will do a tidty shrink wrap & zip tie , but I want to be able to re=build any light I build
& that would be a waste of time imo , i want clean look but Not OCD clean

thought about wrapping my wires too but wanted to be able to get to them if needed... or wanted.

I think I might use nylon sheathing

What about using some smaller corrugated innerduct. A lot of them have a split where you can easily remove it from the cables if need be.

^ You could screw some of this to the top bar with the slit facing up. That way the cables are easily removed and the sheathing stays put.

That's a good idea there

 

[Fastslappy]

there is a sq tube that has a channel on the top made by the same co as that tube
my idea is to reduce the weight of each bar with no framing
by placing the driver there it's balanced & acts as a handle
I'm gonna place all the wiring / wago into a project box
might just steal the covers/boxes off the Mars@2 drivers , they are long 5" & about the size of the tube
that's thinner wall AL tube than usual , price was good as well

Yes
Ya want to be able to re-visit yer builds IF not you might just paint yer self into a corner with Too much detail
IF I was buildin' with a intent of selling the rig then YA sleeve till the cows came home !!!!!!!
lip-stick all around !!!!!!!

My feeling IS that when the grow starts you'll be looking at the Girlz not fan wiring for the lights
Cause that is where the show is !

I really might do this.

So did you just throw an extra wire onto the 2nd spot on those wagos to connect up your wires to the rocker? Where's the green ground connected to on that switch?

the s/w is on the black hot the white is common
the green is GND I'll ground the bar to that wago with a green wire into the open wago GND
the fan power supply will go into the white wago & black wago that ties into the wall plug
i put a wago on each dimmer lead to seal off but when i get my pots & s/w that will tie them together
wago & molex use make everything modular almost 100% plug & play
the only solder so far is tinning the leads

You didn't answer my question though. Haha
