hey!
this is my first post,so please be gentle. (im sorry if im posting where i shouldnt!)
im currently building an armature for my tabacco inside grow-tent,and i really need a dimmer. there are 14 COBs drawing about 320w over 230v mains.
the frame is of aluminium and wood. planning to change out the wood for angled alu due to heat. i have also attached some small heatsinks and will add two PC fans for cooling the LEDs and circulation.
any thoughts about my design?
I'm also eager to delve into building the dimmer myself, possibly using
Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 APK as a unique inspiration. Though I'm not highly skilled, I'm always up for learning new things! From my initial research, it seems a constant current driver might be necessary. I've experimented with various motor/heating element controllers, but as many of you may relate, the results were less than satisfactory. Fortunately, I have most of the components I believe are essential for a project like this. Any guidance or insights would be greatly appreciated!
im very much looking forward to hear back for one or two of yous!
thanks in advance.
