Grims diy LED build!

Nice! that's perfect. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something with there being two sets of connections on each star. (for parallel I now understand)

 

Got most of it wired up.. Only a couple burns...

Ok, get this.. the power cord is proving to be the most confusing. Probably due to my lack of electrical knowledge.

I have 3 cords on the power cord. Black, Green and White (I assume the black is the ground and there is no corresponding ground on the driver)... On the driver I have one blue and one brown... How do they match or does it even matter.

 

Hoping for some pix so I can get some inspiration for my build

 

I cut all the wire too long... So it's not as clean as some builds. I had never soldered before and wanted to make sure I had plenty of room to work with. Biggest lesson I learned was that the solder follows the heat and to use a small guage solder on the wires. My next build will be much cleaner.

Starting parts:


Currently:

 

Black is your lead (hot, positive). White is your common (neutral), green is ground. I don't remember which is +, the blue or brown, but that ties to your black. The other turd to your white. The green should be attached to your heatsink.

 

Awesome, Thanks FoD

 

Awesome!!!! The wiring looks clean to me, compared to mine.. Keep going!

 

Yeah Grim, looks pretty cool. Is If that's going under a canopy no reason to worry about the wiring anyways, but exactly is exactly right, looks clean.

 

Not bad at all for your first time . Can't wait to see it up and running.

 

Any suggestions on mounting these optics?
