Update:
My Led Parts are complete and ready for hard core DIY! Per fixture ill be using 3 LED Drivers that can power 12 LEDs but for safety measures ill just be using 10 LEDs per driver.. so thats a total of 30 LEDS= 90 watts... im planning on having 2... ill work on the next one after i completed this one.... im also using 3 heatsinks 14 inches long per heatsink
Sand papered the Heatsink to remove scratches..
Measured the correct distance of the LEDs and marked it in front of the heatsink using a pencil...
in my setup the distance between LEDs in Horizontal is 2.2 inches and Vertical is around 1.9 inches
Drilled some holes for the wiring at the back...
Used a vice grip to secure the heatsinks together... placed a 1/8 flatbar aluminum at hte back of the heatsink to join the 3 heatsinks together...
I used a 5/32 Rivet and a 5/32 Drill bit to punch the holes for the rivets
More Rigid now...
I marked the holes for the wires on the front side of the heatsink... I plan to place all wires in series at the back to make it look neat...
Finally all Drilling is over.... i did another run of sand paper.. first i used a 300 particle sand paper to remove the scratches from the previous labor done... next i used a 600 particle sandpaper to give it more of a shiny finish...
pwede ko na ipahinga kamay ko sa pagbabarena!
Dapat sa monday pa ito eh kaya lang excited at di makatulog kasi sobrang excited sa ganda ng ginawa...
anyway... so ayan dinikit ko na yung LEDs using Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive... i decided to go with the adhesive para medyo worry free.... natatakot ako sa paste baka matanggal or gumalaw tapos mapabayaan eh tapos masira yung ilaw...
Di pa ako natutulog haha! idlip ako 1 hour then punta sa in-laws muna...
Monday ang Wiring and Testing ng fixture... thanks for reading..
