    Wait a sec here. 24 LEDs, and only 3 Buckpucks? You know the Buckpucks have a series limit of 6 LEDs right? I'm assuming that you are running one driver with two parallel strings of 6 at half current?
    wait what? i didnt know u could run 12 leds on one bucks puck...how do u do that?

    cool light tho cant wait to see it powered up.
    The names Vette, Corvette. . .

    OK,
    I have finished the build and it is all together in the first post.
    All questions and comments are welcome.

    Hopefully this shows you can save a couple of bucks by hunting the deals and being a little creative.
    As always be careful electricity can be dangerous
