CXB3590 DIY HELP NEEDED

Hope everyone is good

I have recently built framework for a 5x5 room to mate up with 20 CXB3590 running at 1050ma driven by 4 hlg-185h-c1050A.

My drivers are mounted on the frame work and held together with rivets and my heatsinks are anodised.
I was going to add a wire from my frame work and connect it through wagos to the ground/earth of my drivers and the wall plug. Before I was about to do just that I was testing continuity of my framework to the ground wire of my drivers and were showing continuity on all 4.

Now im wondering do I even need to add a wire from my framework? Obviously I want to protect myself from getting zapped when I touch the lights, I have took precautions such as rubber grommets and heatshrink tubing to not run wire through bare metal anyway, my heatsinks are anodized so its not conductive.

I am not completely stupid in terms of wiring but I'm not a electrician so could do with your helps please, it will be appreciated.

No. the ground from your drivers being directly attached to the frame and the leds is sufficient ground. physical ground is the same as electrical round.

Thanks, appreciate your help.

BEASTLY Build, brother. Way cool.

To verify you have a good ground, use a multi meter. Touch the ground wire in the plug with one and touch different parts of your light with the other. Look at the drivers and you will see the grounding feet on the bottom of the driver. Yours might be good, but worth checking.

Thanks bro, just got to connect the COBs and wire the DC side up. One thing I haven't figured out yet is how I'm going to hang it, I made 3 on two parralel sides just big enough for rope ratchets which advertise they could carry a 150LB load, 6 of these hopefully could carry the lights but for some reason I'm in doubt.

I've not wired it in to a plug yet, but have tested continuity at multiple points to each drivers ground wire and the wire that would connect to the plug all show continuity and show that 001 like in the picture so hopefully we all good. I knew the drivers have them shapes for ground but I can't remember how much they are I could only see 3 on each driver (as can be seen in the picture) unless there is one in the middle that is covered by the frame work and are touching each other.

BTW what does that 001 mean on the continuity test? I'm assuming it's resistance and is that a good resistance for ground.
