Looking great man! I'm glad you were able to get that COB replaced and get the fixture running. The junction box looks clean, nice work. I've found that the little engraving tools that come with a dremel (and never get used otherwise) work really well for cutting plastic. You can cut in any direction, really convenient. Can't wait to see it over some plants!

Might have to invest in a dremel for next time. I drilled that the majority of the way then just filed to shape. Took a while but worth it to be neat i think.

Dont go for Dremel, there is a MUCH brand called Proxon or something similar, Dremel's quality started going downhill a while ago...

Yeah mate. I was one of those kids. Of the bashy. Shifty. Kcat. Akala era haha. Smoking my solid in shotties and drinking grolsch at the weekends. You know the one :p
Ahaha, do you remember Twissman - Life Journeys. Sometime after that the channel went to shit. Mattafix was a decent track too.

Nowdays though that music is kinda garbage tbh.

Voltmeter ammeter housed in ip55 rated Junction box. Absolute pain in the arse cutting through that plastic but it's there. As soon as the cobs are soldered I'll be wiring up the full system apart from the fans because I need to order a fan speed controller and a 12v driver. View attachment 3973898
Verify the accuracy of your voltmeter/ammeter with a good multimeter. I've got a handful of these displays that are off by 100% or more (they read double the actual current). They have little adjustment pots, but they only affect the reading by about 20%.


Edit: Now that I see the display lit up, its quite different from the ones I have. Can you link to a source on that little bugger?
