Lighting Kind K5 xl750 rebuild

[Jupiter]

Got the existing driver moved down to where the motherboard was. Also mounted a leftover driver from the k3 build. Power was also connected and everything is running. The timer and dimming options are also working so I'll be able to dim the COB's. Now just waiting for the initial batch of clu048 cobs @ BigSm0.

anyone have a clue why they use so many drivers? What a rats nest.

. Probably value engineered the shit out of that thing. By the way...

Got all drivers firing and the dimmer works so I'm pretty happy. The leftover driver I put in from my k3 is the only one that won't dim through the actual light fixture. Next step is picking cobs and figuring out configuration.

Hooked you up Jupiter. Got arty to ok a new badge offer to people who documented a DIY build. Kinda sucks I need to document one now even though I have enough light for half of afn members gardens

How are you going to mount then with all those led holes on the front?

That's the back, there's room. It's basically same set up as the k3.

My bad I'm tired but yeah I'm going to cut out a whole big enough for the cob

Something like that. I can cut the edges with my tinsnips

Who you kidding you're going to build ten more lights this month. You might get the platinum badge.

I'm running to arty about platinum badges for absolutely psychos like myself. I held back and only ordered 20 cobs today.
