290G Peninsula Tank

[lastlight]

I had that metal shoe on the end that was guided along the wooden channels. I was always scared it would snag on the wood like it did before I refined it. Doing so would rip the enclosure apart. Also over time the wire may have frayed on the metal bearings.

Fun project but not the safest way to suspend an expensive light lol. Made much worse for the nerves when you can't actually see the mechanism anymore!

I saw the same thing that I'm planning done online by someone else...will try to find it.

if you don't mind me asking how much did the tank set you back?

[untamed]

You mean...like mine?

[mseepman]

No...not like yours....I would need another degree to make something like that. Plus a lot more patience than I have left.

More like what is documented here:

Although now that I think about it...I may be over-thinking things and maybe I just need to go with one of these and a couple of pulley's.

Time for an update.

Worked on the light last night. Trying to get my second set of drivers organized for the "Parallel" part of the build.

Got plugs onto the three HLG150H-48B's and also setup the fuses and resistors for the strings.



The empty spaces on here are for the controller power-bar (whichever one I end up buying) and the dimming controller module (again based upon whatever controller I buy)

I have some quick connects coming that will allow me to disconnect the strings from the board and also at the light. Once they arrive and I see that they will work, I'll get pictures of them up.
