I DM'd him, we'll see. They don't show a wall thickness though, free returns is a plus.I think you'll need something beefier than that. About the size of the sinks that cost more than the strips. Though anc does run his hot iirc
I have a heatsink question, I have been researching builds on here: https://ledgardener.com/diy-led-strip-build-designs-samsung-bridgelux/
I searched the forums however I couldn't find an answer for my question. The heat sinks referenced on that site are about $60 for a 4' piece, $20 more than the strips themselves.I want to have enough cooling to not fry $160 worth of strips (doing the 4X4 build with Samsung F series). Any input would be appreciated.
Cool, thanks.Check out Tnutz
I was contemplating spending some time with the drill press to aid airflow by making holes into the void behind the flat side. The design I was looking at only runs the strips @75%, so they say.tnutz are great for builds! https://www.tnutz.com/product/ex-1010-d/ you can attach the strips with a thermal tape on the flat side and hang as you like...

Link please? I've been looking into strips for awhile, just haven't been in a position to pull the trigger yet. I haven't done the math, but the build I'm looking at is only supposed to go to 75% current.PCL site

You can get basically the same thing minus the connectors for 1/4 the priceMy insomnia may have been beneficial for something...check this out. https://powerwerx.com/watt-meter-analyzer-inline-dc-powerpole?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=*(New) Shopping - Digital Meters&utm_term=1101102235441&utm_content=DC Inline Watt Meter and Power Analyzer, Powerpole Ends WattMeter-PP - Margin60
If not I blame lack of sleep.
Yes , your going to need heatsinks. OR you can buy more strips and run them softer. 50% dont get hot enough to need any cooling. the ones posted in this thread for a buck each is the kinda deal you gotta find to keep the build cheap if thats the goal. (painted aluminum rails. 48" long)4 F series Samsung 4' @480W, Mean Well Hlg-480H-48A.
this is a decent deal! the ones i was looking at were that price for a 22" section. 6x 6.6' for 87 bucks WITH a cover is a fuckin steal! The cover looks like shit as its not clear but its still a good deal. Thats 40' of heatsink WITH a cover for 90 bucks ....you really cannot beat that.These might be a viable option: https://www.amazon.com/Trimless-Rec...rds=aluminum+c+channel&qid=1603130214&sr=8-34
I was thinking mount the strips on the back side of them.
The Tnutz are comparable in price for the 1" and are studier. I was thinking just use the aluminum part of the Amazon ones and attach the strip to the bottom side. Don't want the covers for our application, and I'm not sure if putting the strip in the trough would limit the light on the edges.this is a decent deal! the ones i was looking at were that price for a 22" section. 6x 6.6' for 87 bucks WITH a cover is a fuckin steal!
