I am going to give diy a shot and need some help. I am a little confused as to what will work together. I want to start with a single cob unit and have these parts picked out. No clue if they will work together or not. the power supply is where I have the most trouble understanding what is needed. If anyone tell me if these willl work together or show me what will. a parts list that is fully on Amazon would help allot

Good luck doing DIY led with only amazon.

I ordered from 4 online electronics stores for my last DIY build... for 4 items... not because I love pain. If you think you can find everything on amazon, go for it.. I wasn't even trying to save money. I would been okay paying slightly more to avoid having to do that.

You've picked out a Vero 29, so take a look at the datasheet page 6...

http://www.bridgelux.com/sites/default/files/resource_media/DS33-Bridgelux-Vero-29-Datasheet.pdf

The Tj25C voltage is generally the max voltage necessary for the test current. You want a constant current driver that will supply that voltage. Down the sheet a little further you will find voltage requirements for commonly used currents, so if you wanted to drive them with a 1.4A driver the voltage requirements would change slightly (though not likely to make a difference in driver selection for a single emitter).

If you want to buy everything from Amazon I would suggest browsing for drivers on MeanwellUSA to make a selection and then looking for it on Amazon. The driver bicit suggested would be a good choice for either the Vero 18 or Vero 29.

Also, was it a calculated decision to use a 5000K emitter? Most people have been using 3000-4000K for full cycle.

I use 3 1000 watt hid lights in an 11 foot long area and want to replace the middle light with led. I am trying one just for supplemental for now to see if I can build it and be happy with the outcome. So I want a higher k . Once I see if it's something I want to build more of I will be using mostly 3000k or 4000k with a couple 5000k to replace the whole lighting system... That is my idea at least it can change based on advice from more experienced growers

No point in mixing cobs, get one color and stick with it. Do you have access to a drill press and tap?

I feel like hours of reading I have done mean nothing at this point. I appreciate the time your taking to respond and help
