This is my plan for an LED rig using 64 LEDs (plus 4 moonlights) - on [2] 9"x12" heatsinks - well actually 4 9"x6" heatsinks arranged in 2 pairs coupled together (allowing for the center brace to not impact the lights) so 34 a side. Here is the layout:
The 4 dark blues (or blacks if you're colorblind like me) were cut off the key - they're the moonlights
"¢ 12 cool white
"¢ 8 natural white
"¢ 24 royal blue
"¢ 6blue
(B:W ratio -- 1.5:1)
"¢ 6UV
"¢ 4 green
"¢ 4red
"¢ 4 moonlights
I'm using 3 Drivers in parallel
#1 in parallel with 12 royal blues on each string
#2 will have regular blues (8), UVs (6) greens (4) and red (4) split evenly between 2 strings, so parallel with each string running 4 regular blues, 3 UVs, 2 reds and 2 greens for 11 total per string
#3 whites - parallel too "“ so 6 CW and 4 NW on each string. For 10 per string
Drivers are Meanwell ELN 60-48-Ps - I'll be controlling it with the Rapid Controller for now "“ I hope to upgrade it down the road
Stars getting set up
Heat sink 1 with 2 colors and part way through the third
All 68 stars on both heat sinks
After all the wiring I ran some tests for continuity and for shorts "“ I found two problems (documented in other threads) and I was able to fix the issues. Next step was to set up a temporary driver rig to test my work "“ here's the "œmulti-color string
Whites test
Blues test
