Just finished our dual Lumia 5.2 build. (Attaching some photos.)
It's self-contained in the sense that you just have power cords coming off it going into the wall (one for the leds, one for the storm controller, and one for the fan.)
Ideally I would have combined the 110v for these into one cord, but you gotta draw the line somewhere...
This is actually for a planted tank, so these are the 65 watt planted version fo the lumia 5.2. I'm very happy with the light.
This is definitely NOT as bright as the 2x96 watt CFL DIY kit I had from A H supply, but part of the reason I started looking into LEDs was that we had too much light from that kit and there was no good way to smoothly dim the CFL's. The plants seem to be doing well with the new light, so, hopefully, we've hit the right point in terms of intensity.

The power supply is the HLG-185H-48A. Don't have a case for the storm X yet, which makes it slightly messier in these photos than it will be.
The only issue we're having is with the PWM fan control feature. I've replaced the MakersLED fan with a 4-wire 92mm PWM fan. I figured Iwould be able to control the speed of this with the Storm X, by connecting the D9 pin the the PWM wire on the fan. This didn't work for me though. So, until I get around to figuring that out, the fan is at constant speed.
