Lighting DIY COB Based LED Growlight Build In Progress!

His videos are the best! Well laid out and explained. He's building on Realstyles work.

This is more the level I'm at currently. Started watching this vid last night. Great vid that goes into explaining the basic terms, and then into the basics of sizing power, heat sinks, etc...

 
My biggest concern was heat.. It is why I chose just to rebuild the Mars 300 and I did use 2 3590's in 72 volt.. That sucker is bright... I think that one 3590 in 72 volt is all one plant needs.. This is why I want to build a bar.. With 2 3590's on it about 24 inches apart.. I am looking at the new heat sinks that have the holders pre drilled as well as the hopes for the Angelina lenses.. Now I just need to be able to mount a cpu fan to each one of them and I am good to go.. I could have different colored one for veg and then switch to the flower ones it would be a slick set up.. Growmou5 is incorporating a dimmer for this.. I am curious about the dimmer...
 
The ones in the video pops posted I want to know where he got those red housings mounted to the top of the heat sinks.. I may have missed it but did you make them or have to hem made?
 
The drivers can be bought with external dimming ability. All you need is a 100k pot. 24' spacing may be too much but you could add another later if needed.
With lenses you need 20-36" above the canopy for the light.
