going to go with (6) 60"
Channel 6063-T52 Aluminum, Extruded
Dimensions:
A: 2"
B: 1/2"
C: 1/8"
Material: Aluminum
Grade: 6063
Shape: Channel

additionally I've been looking at drivers and boards for arduino.
I believe i'm quoting kcress
PWM with resistor limiting:
1) Are generally the least efficient. 40%~98%
2) Can be the most efficient if the load voltage very closely matches the source voltage as then there would be little to no voltage to 'drop'.
Switched inductor with a diode
1) Have good efficiency. 75%~86%
2) Fairly simple.
Switched inductor with synchronously controlled FETs.
1) Most complex and most expensive.
2) Highest general efficiency. 89%~95%
So if i'm running 8 XM-L's on Mean Well ELN-60-27P @ 2A am I very closely matching the source voltage? I'm sorta confused by this.
