Today I pulled out all my drivers and controllers for the lights. I’m still deciding the best way to mount/install these. Can anyone tell which driver doesn’t belong? My stoned ass ordered an extra HLG-120H-24B instead of the HLG-240H-24B. The good news is, I have four extra strips in 3500K that will match up with that driver. Not exactly sure what I’ll do with it, but having a spare driver is never a bad thing.
The overall plan is to mount the drivers on the wall of the veg room, then run the wires through conduit to the flower room. I already soldered up the connections in the conduit boxes. I still need to solder up the connections to the lights and get testing that. I might make the driver board with a piece of plywood on hinges so I can run the wiring in the back. It should look pretty neat and clean that way.
I may go ahead and add another Sonoff 4CH so that I can have one for each light. I’m then debating whether I want to have the two Emerson boards on a separate driver from the Exotic boards, or if I want to run them all off the same one. I guess it mostly depends on the behavior of the lights when there is no PWM signal, if they will go to off when there is no PWM then I will run them all off the same driver. Otherwise, I will run them on separate drivers. This mainly has to do with me wanting to be able to have the IR on for an additional 15 minutes after lights out.
