I"m going to have a friend check everything over for me, she's done this before. I did end up wiring up my power supply, buckpuck and LEDS and nothing happened I know the soldering isn't the best, having only learnt to solder a mere 24 hours ago.

The stupid thing is I had made notes, detailing exactly how to wire it from other builds and I ignored my own notes.

Well...maybe the canopy build will at least turn out.

Just a blow for my DIY ego

i did a custom 6 LED with canopy build

now its hard to tell from your photo but it looks like you've got your LEDs wired in parallel, make sure there in series......+-+-+-+-+- if you do it in parallel it wont be as bright and theres a chance of blowing one,
