Any opinion on putting all the drivers in small project boxes? Seems it would add extra electrical safety plus just an overall clean look.

A pin connector would work? Or you mean the molex?

I have 2. 1 is a generic 300w out of a dell and I think the other is 600w. Haven't read that yet. Do you happen to know what the connector is called? Closest I found is something like a 2-8 gang terminal connector. Either something like that or try something like 12v 4 way splitter and...

Doesn't seem that difficult after researching it a little. Not sure if I can make 2 12v rails off a generic atx psu. But I'm sure my other one already has 2 12v rails on it. I've read ohms law before, but never really had to use it outside of car stereo/amplifier installation. Wiring down 4...

How big of a protoboard do you need for the 4 drivers? Would breadboard work even though its meant for temp projects, or is protoboard better? Do you use project boxes for the protoboard?

1 for bonsai moms and 1 for flower chamber. The heating mat idea is what I had in mind with that.

Stack on gun cabinet. 55" tall 9" deep 21" wide looks like 1/8" stainless steel painted black. Similar to this.

Was wondering because I was hoping if I put an aluminium sheet at the halfway point of the box it could serve as the floor for the top chamber and the heatsink for the bottom chamber without losing too much height. Not quite sure how to cool the heatsink/floor without sacrificing too much height.

I should be able to make 2 12v rails off on atx supply right as long as I stay in the amp range

Ok, well I think i kinda got it all sorted out in my head at least. I got some sets of 3w uv leds on the way, and driver/light combos in my cart. Just wondering, what are the measurements on your heatsink? Is it calculated out or just overkill?

Not too familiar with modding or bridging the rails, have been reading into it. Would that work off 1 12v rail?

Nice getting er all straightened out piece by piece with your help. So ty again. I'd have to spend a little money but I was wondering if something like this could be incorporated, maybe between psu and splitter? In my case maybe 2 channels drive the top and 1 channel drive the bottom? Idk if...

This good for driving just one then?http://m.ebay.com/itm/1-pcs-10W-12V-24V-DC-LED-Constant-Current-Driver-Power-900mA-High-Power-LED-/252038852796?nav=SEARCH

Did you have an idea on whether something similar to I watched a video a guy used thishttp://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=252221725170 to run a 12v 10w led. Is this something that would work? Accepts 4-40v input and 1.25-37v output. Would work for a setup like yours?

Gotcha. I'm not too familiar with proto-board. A wire splitter would work the same right? At least until I educate myself on that and mosfets. Makes things more clear for me though so ty for that.

Do you wire the bucks in series with the lights? Kinda confused I guess. I pictured 1 12v rail to a splitter, off the splitter 4 bucks wired to a separate light each one instead of any strings in series? But if you were to split it like that then you would split your 12v 4 ways right? I...

Something interesting I found while searching for different leds just now...

4 10w each run by it's own 12v buck all wired into 1 12v rail? I like that setup. Do straight 12 from pop? So i need to make sure the cheap ones are 10-12v fv not 30-34 right? I would totally quote all neat like you do but I haven't quote figured that out yet lmao

I looked through a post that u had your build posted. How many watts/sqft did u end up with? It's hard to find size comparisons to other builds outside of yours and i think a guy name positivity had a small build with 3070s.

Like for example. Do you have any problems with how the cheaper ones are wired internally? Like the diodes are series or parallel in the chip? Is there a bad failure rate or they do alright?
