Lighting What would you recommend for a heat sink for meanwell driver?

[the123321]

I am new to growing. I am looking at the 32x32 tent with the 240w kingbrite quantum board with the ac infinity 6" fan with filter with 2-4 auto plants in coco coir in 3 gallon fabric pots for it. I am looking at mounting the driver outside the tent on a shelf that is on top of the tent for it. The shelf is like a rubber or plastic wire type shelf on there for it.

What would you recommend that I mount the meanwell driver to? I originally was thinking a wooden board then I read that metal would likely be the better thing to use. Would a small aluminum baking sheet pan work for it? It is a little bigger than the driver. It looks like the pan may be non stick for it. Would that be a problem if I use it? I looked on amazon for a heat sink for it but I am having trouble finding a heat sink on there for it.

I use a panama license plate from a past holiday to set mine on.

You can buy it even find scrap aluminum. Measure out your mounting surface and buy some 1/8" aluminum flat sheeting. Probably get a piece locally cut.

Thanks. I like the license plate idea. Would the aluminum baking sheet pan work for it? I am not using that pan though I do not know if the non stick would be a problem on there for it.

yes , it does not get too hot to the touch.

Thanks. You do not think the non stick on the pan would be a problem do you for it?
