I'd drive out and pick it up, if I were you!

Hey Mike sounds like a road trip!!!

well I'd only have bet some of you have been wondering how is he going to get all the wiring from the heat sinks to the box with those piviot brackets, if so don't feel alone there I've been wondering the same thing LOL and dreamed up 100 diffent ways! With the way we are going to be controlling things there are 8 wires coming from each heatsink

so it came to me in a vision to use vacume hose from autoparts store to route wires and be protected, this also gives us a flexable link.

here's a top view of heatsink fully wired

OH yell, I hear it's alittle on the cold side out west now but sunny and 79 here today!

Naw, I was out cutting some fallen limbs with the chainsaw today and its way too hot for long underwear. It reached a balmy sunny 45 today in Lynnwood.

here's alittle more progress up dates quick look at wiring detail of heatsink

mike,

before you turn these bad boys on, make sure you get ground approval from SEATAC air traffic controllers....hahaahahahahahahahah

Beautiful fixture... Takes DIY to a whole new level. Doubt I'll ever do a build this big but still inspiring. Thanks!

If you need someone to help you out going down there to pick them up I'm sure Todd and I can fit it into our schedule.

 

[Guerry]

they are almost there guys, I've got a buddy coming over tomarow to help me flip the fixture so I can do the interal wiring. At 7' long and 26" wide I'm sraced to do myself way to many hours in this project to have an OH S%$t if you know what I mean

Nice update Guerry, that is absolutley amazing!!! I can't wait to see that beast in place and fired up. Hey, if Mike is driving down to pick it up, maybe that would be a good time for Frankie and I to come down and visit. LOL

 

[Guerry]

Thanks Chris, I think Mike likes that cold wet weather of north west to much to come over here LOL but you and Frankie are welcome to come down anytime

 

[Guerry]

ok guys I've been working on wiring this beast up, the first pic here shows the wiring coming from just three heatsinks. It will give you an idea of just how much has to be tied in to make this fixture do its magic

the next few pic's show the inner pannels I'm making to organize this mess LOL

 

[Guerry]

ok got power station done today, what a job that was. Mike wanted system to have single plug, not sure why he didn't want the nomal 5 power stips LOL anyway here it is

what you see there powers everything for the fixture

 

[Raamiah]

That is some amazing work and one beast of and DIY LED build. Nice work.

 

[eww]

Wow Guerry. I think this thing might drive itself to Mike's house if you point it in the right direction and give it a push. Very Very NICE WORK!!!

Are those wallwarts for the dimming circuits? If sowhy did you guys not go with the Thomas Research, or the inventroncis drivers that have the built in 10vdc reference voltage. This eliminates all of the extra power consuming wall warts. But I do have to say the build looks awesome. Lots of thought and energy went into this.
