Is the NL from Nirvana too? If it is it's fire smoke. I will be popping more next run.

Looking at your Blackjack I will say your will look as good or better
Good luck and thanks for responding. 
That looks great!!
I reckon like I have, you're going to have the urge to take those diffusers off for that extra bit of light
~I also had gnats go in and die on inside of the diffuser in my veg area.
Because I was so anxious, I screwed up. Remember to get the wires right on your pots. I used the wrong two and ended up with clockwise dim - and anti clockwise for brighter. Also unless the pot is a true 100k anything less and it's not going to give you 100% .Luckily I left room for a dim on off switch

That's only if you're running one driver per potentiometer.

Not totally DIY, but a nice little Mars Hydro hack, IMHO. Pulls 208w at the wall and should be good enough for keeping plants ticking along and early vegging. Time will tell I suppose.
2nd hand Mars hydro = £60
8 x CLU048's = £64
I already had the rest of the materials required on hand and the conversion took about 3 hours, would've been quicker if I'd had some small self tappers
EDIT...........Its runnin much cooler than when it had all the mono's on it, which I was worried about, but I've defo got a little extra capacity on the drivers. I may add either a smaller cob to each driver, or a small cluster of mono's

What is the part number for these?I really like these Manual Reset Temperature Switches.....
Once it gets too hot, stays off until you reset or check the circuit.....that's why I won't ever use those Temp switches you have....liked them initially, but they can come back ON and that is a no no in circuit building imho....they won't stop a fire....

My first actual DIY led finished.Inspired by @brahbbyB 's Bridgelux EB Series Build thread, I ordered some parts and within a few days it was built - it all happened so fast I'm pretty proud of it.
The strips were shipped bent like a flexi strip, so digikey is replacing all the strips no charge and I get to keep these - it looks like they still work mostly

Arranged for experimental growth testing.
You can see where three of the 8led strings don't light

I did something similar a couple years back using 4 each @ 22w 5000/3000k t8 led tubes to cover 2 x 4. It worked pretty wellView attachment 3865491 View attachment 3865492 View attachment 3865493 View attachment 3865494 View attachment 3865495 My first actual DIY led finished.

I would tighten them up (closer together by at least half)
