Okay, so I have been working this out in my head and I have decided to get this down in "ink". I am planning a modular 25 led system that will all run through one controller.
At this point I am considering both the DIM4 from ledgroupbuy and the typhon by boostled. The DIM4 has the advantage of having relay ports to act as a power supply for fans or to run relays that turn on or off the drivers when the dimming circuit is at 0; However, the typhon offers the flexibility of an arduino based system with the ability to program weather programs or such as I wish.
In order to begin I will be creating a mini test system with probably 10 leds. I am ordering two turquoise, two deep red, 6 true violet, 6 royal blue, 6 cool white and two neutral white for testing purposes.
It is my intention to have this system be contained in one housing with one cord and having all the dimming done within this contained system.
I have a problem in this respect; since I want to keep this trial system small what drivers should I use?
I already have two copper pc heatsinks that will be serving as my heatsink for this trial build but they are small, about 4"X3" and I will be connecting them with solid .25" aluminum. The spacing between them dictates how much space for drivers I have, but
I need to know what drivers to use. For the final build I will be using ELN-60-48 but I don't know if I should use these or buckpucks for such a small test run.
I want to get this purchase in tonight so any input is great, but make it snappy.
