thanks I think :>
anyway… tomorrow I hope to get some of the parts to start making the case… and a power switch 
Bump for update in first post, new photos will be posted shortly
Those couple of leds are really pumping out the light. Have you had extended runs yet? I was just wondering how well the heat sinks work.
not together no… but the cool white heatsink does get warm… not hot but warm, the driver… very warm almost hot… so there will be ventilation, will mount a fan to each “cannon” I’m pondering calling it a light faucet… and maybe getting a waterfaucet handle for the pot
when pwm’d the drivers and heatsinks dont get warm really… under say 80% full…
I’ve got a handle mounted, mounting main power switch shortly… then I have to drill vent holes for the led heatsinks… then figure out how I’m gonna mount the fans and cut vents for those
then I can cut holes for the wires that have to go between each pod… then attach the pods together and start wiring things together, taking lots of photos as I go…
bump for photos of case posted…
Holy smokes! 8) It’s handheld, I can see the handle
yup barely
More photos added to case post… worked on it a bit more before work this afternoon nearly ready for connecting stuff inside and seeing how it looks on…
yay I should be finished in a few more days… unless I find I’m missing something else! YAY.
I think you win the most complex build award! Wow, I am impressed with your skill level. Beam shots out yet?
Nice build, can’t wait for the finished product.
complex? not really some of the others seem more complex to me.
closest I have to a beam shot are the videos in the third post I think…
once I get everything connected I’ll see if I can take a beam shot…
thanks
okay, warm white tube all wired and ready to connect, finishing the cool white tube tonight. more stuff goes in this one. so more to do pondering how I want to attach them together. for now I might use zipties… as the hose clamps I wanted to use are too short… gotta get 2 small ones to make em just a bit longer
then may have to lengthen the power wire as well… eventually I might use a hobby lipo pack. but for now. external 4500mah 12 volt gel cell
They make super long zip ties for hvac ducting.
I was gonna suggest those HVAC zip ties, you can get a bag of 10 for <$2 at harbor freight.
next time I’m at harbor freight I’ll get some.
posted finished videos and some photos… its more a flooder than thrower… so its good for lighting up a close area… not really long distances…
Its my browser foult or videos cant display they show “private ” apart from that nice work :bigsmile:
try again. I didnt have them set to the right permissions
Yay, it works!
