ant special think about this this : having problems (can't keep line connected in the wago connector) this is the cord from the boards (6ft) to the out-put side of the driver? everything else came connected ( dimmier and Led boards - 2) sure looks like a great quality light I will get it but a simple thing like this come-on !!!
Got the lights in on Friday! Finished the install late last night. Good job! @Budget LED These lights are beautiful! Like you guys nailed it. I love these lights lol. These are quality built lights! For a good price. The light brightness/penetration is insane and Budgets customer support has been amazing answering my e-mails and questions very promptly. The packaging was bulletproof. Great workmanship! Thanks Budget!
Here's my setup
I built a remote lighting control board. Something that can be mounted to the wall and relocated fairly easily. Just unplug the LED boards and it can be relocated in a giffy. All i had to put the board on is a shoe rack, so i built it to fit on that. The power goes in to the digital light timer and that runs the two receptacles.
I drilled a couple holes in to a JB cover and mounted the dimmers on them. Once i got the lights on, i put my ammeter on my temp. makeshift pigtail & that helped me label the wattage on the plates. 50, 100, 150, 200, 250. (I'll likely redo this. was in a rush) At full power i get 4.3A@120VAC (516W) from the wall. I did each light individually, their exactly the same. Still have yet to ammprobe the DC side, but i need a new meter.
Used two pieces of shallow strut to elevate the drivers for good airflow. Only running at 250W atm so don't need a fan on the drivers yet, but I'll likely add one off the lighting timer soon. I adjusted the hanging kits a bit just to get more distance and it gives me way more control of the angle if i ever need to use them. I grounded everything from the wall to the heat sinks.
Thanks @John Wick @TurboBucket @Chris Scorpio @Budget LED for helping me fix/solve my lighting! Super happy with the decision to get these puppies!

That's the best part about this place! People from all walks of life, with all types of knowledge.I think it's so cool how people are sharing how to mount these lights on this thread. I've learned a lot from a couple of people, I thank you for sharing. Please keep them coming folks, let's keep it alive.
Agree! If it wasn’t for this place I would have lost a Couple crops, some really wonderfully people here.I think it's so cool how people are sharing how to mount these lights on this thread.

No problem! Alternatively you can use an 1110 box or an octagon box with a blank cover. I used the 4x4 cus that's just what i had and it gives me the option to add a third one in the future.I'm going to copy cat the way you have your dimmers set up, if you don't mind.
Going to bolt the box of the front side of my steel rack.
Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks for the thread! We're learning lots from you good sir!I think it's so cool how people are sharing how to mount these lights on this thread. I've learned a lot from a couple of people, I thank you for sharing. Please keep them coming folks, let's keep it alive.
This is the style I have been using as a complete power shut down in the event of high temps
The HLC-1 by Custom Automated Products protects your garden from overheating. The HLC-1e constantly monitors your garden temperature. If the garden exceeds the temperature that you have set, the HLC-1 turns off your lights so that crop damage will not occur. It then turns on the Temp Exceeded” light to let you know that an overheating situation occurred. When the temperature returns to normal, it will turn your lights back on. It comes with a 15′ remote temperature sensor.
The HLC-1 is rated at 15 amps @ 120 volts. 3 year warranty.
That’s cool! I was looking yesterday to see if they made something with an rtd! That’s it lol Thanks for the info!
I’m still recovering for having had to witness that.. Guilty as charged!
Apologies for the delayed response. For some reason, this forum quits giving notifications after a short period of time.
The lever nut takes some force to open. It's designed that way so once you make the connection, it holds very well. Dont worry, it takes alot of force and a hammer to break them.
don't let the time release stress you - things will turn out OK !!Also, is my big plant supposed to droop like that & some leaf tips are curling in? I just transplanted the two little ones in to FFOF. All water PH is 6.8-7. I have 5 gallon fabric pots now, but idn if i can pull off transplanting the big one lol. That one and the short bushy one are in Pro-Mix Premium home depot soil. It has time release nutes in it that says good for 9 months. Little worried about the time release & the 5 gallon buckets not drying quick enough? I plan to keep that one in veg for a long time.
