My entry to the scratch built contest.

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 :slight_smile:

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 :slight_smile:
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… :slight_smile:

bump for photos of case posted… :slight_smile:

Holy smokes! 8) It’s handheld, I can see the handle

yup :slight_smile: barely :slight_smile:

More photos added to case post… worked on it a bit more before work this afternoon :slight_smile: nearly ready for connecting stuff inside and seeing how it looks on…

yay :slight_smile: 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 :slight_smile: some of the others seem more complex to me. :slight_smile:

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 :slight_smile:

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 :slight_smile: 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 :slight_smile:
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 :slight_smile:

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 :slight_smile:

Yay, it works!

yup. its not as good as your light :slight_smile: but it works… I should have bought a 100 watt led and a driver… maybe I’ll make another one with a 100 watt led and driver in it…

this one is good for ceiling bounce during a power outage. :slight_smile:

Nice videos. Love the looks of the light in the second video! Well done!

thanks sir :slight_smile:
