Aluminum LED Bridge by eddytheflow

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

Inspired by the many LED bridges I've seen... but I sure as hell don't want to print all that. Not only is aluminum easy to shape into a curve, it acts as a heatsink to prolong the life of the LEDs. Despite that.. this thing does get pretty warm. I might just throw some heatsinks on it haha.
This thing gets bright as hell. I control it with a Pico remote. Used a modified mount I found on Thingiverse.
24v power supply (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G3K411A/) I used this one b/c I had an extra laying around... My LED setup only uses 50W
Quad row LED (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073QH3JJW/)
Lutron with Pico remote (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HM6L48C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I have this setup for my whole house.. but I think you can use it without a hub.
Aluminum piece is roughly 38mm wide x 3.2mm thick... bought it from Menards I think. Probably widely available.
The channel in the aluminum mount is large enough for 22AWG LED wire, I think I used this one (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QTCBZ4I/).
DC plug in the back was sized for what I had on hand, you may want to double check.
No special printing instructions on the brackets.
The project box requires supports for the two latches... If I were to do this again I would have made these angular or longer to remove the need for them.. whoops.
