DIY EB832 24v port outlets

[Emac909]

I’d like to see what people have used there 24v ports 9 & 10 on the eb832 for.

I used 2 of my 24v ports to power my Nero5s. I bought these

Then cut the wire from the original power cable. I added the molex plug to the wire so that they would plug into the 24v ports. I did this to save room from all the power bricks in my cabinet. The eb832 has been running my Nero5s for more then a year with out issues.

I use them to power my Noctua fans 12v and 24v versions. I used a step-down convertor for the 12v fans and the 24v goes direct. I bought a bunch of molex connectors from mouser, so I can make plenty more.

Yea I did the same too. I have 2 eb832. One is running the Nero’s. The other is running 4 stand fans.

I know we’re limited on how much wattage one eb832 can use on there 24v ports. I believe is a 100w. So I thing the eb832 is tapped out and I can’t use any of the 1link ports.

I think it was 30 watts

And I have one hooked up to my solenoid on the calrx

Yea but I’m running 2 Nero5s on one eb832. I probably could add something to the 1link on that eb832 but I’m good I’m not having any issues with how it’s running. But I may need to do something in case I ever get a trident.

But I have seen people diy sound alarms to there 24v ports. So if there not running a display unit the 24v port would turn on if an alarm was triggered.

How do you like those Noctura fans? Are they fairly quiet? Was planning to order a few for a lighting project I am working on.

Can't imagine their much louder then the fans on my AI primes.

Wish my GHL Profilux had 24V ports I am already out of plugs LOL.

The 12v fans are pretty quiet, but the 24v version is a little loud, but it’s twice the rpm, so I wasn’t expecting silent. I may have to get beefier versions for the halides, but the Reef Brite pendants run a lot cooler so I might try two 24v at first? The great thing about Noctua fans, is the fact that there are plenty of models to choose from in different voltage ranges. Just wish they made a bigger fan than 140mm. The key to look for is their dB(A) rating, the lower the number, the quieter it’ll be.

Thanks! I am looking at their 12v models I will be retrofitting into a T5 fixture I saw they are rated at 25db but for someone that doesn’t know anything about computer fans not sure how audible that is. I am not not looking for silent either just not uncomfortably loud.

I like the slim 120 mm X 14 mm. I think they will work best to squeeze between reflectors and housing. Now should I just need to decide between two or th

Noctua fans are great and very well made. It’s my favorite computer fan because it is very quiet. I used it in my computers and plant cabinets.

Also, some are IP67 rated, which in our application is a pretty nice feature. 25dB is pretty good.
