I've looked but had no luck finding any. Are 80/20 aluminium extrusions available in Australia?

Hey VegasWinner, Your post above got me curious so I started Googling single drivers, including the DT-PF1005 in your link above. From what I have found, this driver is not dimmable. Have you found a dimmable driver to run a single CXB3590@1.4A? Thanks.

@welight Hi Mark, I wanted to price the LPF1180-CUT Heatsink but when I went into Checkout and applied the CUTANDROLL coupon no discount was applied. Any reason CUTANDROLL isn't working for this item? I also notice that your LPF1180-ZHE-C heatsink is the exact same heatsink but the holes are...

Because the kit contains: 4 pcs Cree CXB3590, top bins only 4 pcs Ideal 50-2303CR CXB Holder 4 pcs Ideal 50-2300AN Adapter for the Ledil ANGELINA 4 pcs Ledil Angelina 90 Degree reflector 4 pcs Graphite Thermal pad(TIM) 1 side adhesive for simple assembly on the COB 1 pc LGSU-1400D, Dimmable...

Hi Mark, Any idea as to when these heatsinks will be available and at what price? Also, when will you be getting some more LSB9980-B? Also, I'm looking for alternatives for a Mean Well HLG-185H-C1400B to run 4 x CXB3590@1.4A. Is your Pairui LGSU-200-C1400 suitable, and if so, when are you...

Well I'm at that stage where I need to know how to do this as well. I don't have a photo, but I made a pretty picture. So if I understand this correctly the above is how we wire in the potentiometer and resistor in order to use the dimmer feature of the Model B Mean Well Drivers...

Thanks Mark, I think I've got my heart set on the Jaycar Silicone wire. Unless someone says otherwise I reckon it should be fine. http://www.jaycar.com.au/Wire,-Cable-&-Accessories/Hookup-&-Power-Cable/General-Purpose-Hookup/Heavy-Duty-Silicone-Hook-Up-Wire-10m-Handy-Pack-Red/p/WH3035

I need a 10 metre length.

Using this chart: http://www.firemountaingems.com/resources/encyclobeadia/charts/6404 18AWG measures out to 1.02mm wire, so any solid cored or multi-strand cored wire measuring 1mm will do the job. Or is there more to it? Thanks

Sprinkler wire is hard to come by here, or it's called something else all together. Regardless, I couldn't find any. So I've chosen 7 core trailer wire. Heaps of the shit available...

Thanks Airwalker, Perfect answer.

Thanks Airwalker, Forgot to mention, again, I'm in Australia, so we don't have a Home Depot, we have a Bunnings. You say "solid core". Does this mean the stranded silicone stuff I have linked to above is not suitable and the correct wire should be solid core? I would also like to know if...

Hey All, Hopefully this is a good place to ask this question as it's related to powering COBs. I plan on running 4 x CXB3590 @ 1.4A using an HLG-185H-C1400B Driver. I wish to mount the driver about 3-4 metres from the canopy where the COBs will be mounted. Will 18AWG Silicone Wire be suitable...

Thanks for your input Pop22. Lots to learn here, so good luck on your journey. I've considered using a thermal cut off switch but have put it low on the list of solutions based on assumptions which I should probably clear up. If a single COB fails in a string of COBs, what happens to the...
