HOW TO BUILD
EKET - 2024 EDITION
Welcome to the website guide of the Eket V4 build video guide.
This new edition introduces the use of the new LED rail holders.
The normal power usage for this build is below 35w total, which means less than $5/month for veg (4€) and $3/month in bloom (3€).
With a singled Ninja Bundle you can do 2 of these Ekets, in this case best is to do the setups with 3 panels per boxes, and take a low profile holder to attach a third LED at the top of the box.

If the Eket is already assembled, we'll have to remove the door, because the way the hinge is made on the Eket makes it nearly impossible to light seal the Eket.
The easiest way to remove the door is to push the bottom towards the back, this will release the door.
Once the bottom removed, you can easily remove the door.
Remove the hinges from the door.
Most of the noise from your blower will come from its vibration against the furniture.
Best way to mitigate this vibration noise is to add some vibration insulation on the blower.
Place some insulation gasket on the surface of the blower that will be in contact with the furniture.
Now place the blower in the position you're planning to place it, and mark the position of the blower's outtake.
Note that the blower should be placed at the top of the box, where the hot air will go.
Now let's tape the blower in place. Using tape instead of screws makes the link between the blower and the furniture flexible, which will also help with absorbing part of the vibration from the blower.
Now that our outtake blower is in place, we need to make the intake hole.
The intake hole should be at least as big as the outtake hole. And should be at the opposite side of the blower.
You can add any filter foam to prevent dust from getting in.
Now we'll need a little hole at the top of the box to pass the wires to the controller that will be at the back of the box.
Place you sensor roughly at the center of the back panel. This will be a good position as no LED panel will be directly pointed at it. Keep in mind direct light will highly impact the temperature reading, so make sure you don't place it under direct light.
Now is time to build the LED holder kit.
Checkout the guides below to know how to build the rail holders and the top low profile holder.

Once the rail kit assembled, we'll place the rails in the box.
Make sure to place the holders in the corners or the box, that will give you more room for the plant.
The glue the top holder in place, at the top of the box.
Once the panels are in place, add the white LED cable.
Pass the wires through the small cable hole we previously did in the back panel.
Once the cables are passed through the cable hole, do a bit of cable management with some aluminum tape.
Now let's place the controller on the back panel, behind the box.
Mark the position of the controller's nuts.
Make holes with a drill where you had the controller's marks.
Then screw the controller through the back panel.
Now let's do the door!
In order to make light sealing much easier, we'll add some plastic profile all around the door frame.
This way we'll just have to push the door in place to close and seal the box from outside lighting.
If needed add a bit of aluminum tape behind the plastic profile to prevent lights to go through.
Now push the door in place, it should hold in place.
Now it's time to find a good place for your box if you haven't already:)
Plug the power cable into the controller's power port.
The controller's LED will blink red/yellow/green.
Let there be light!
Use the app to turn the box on and set the desired light schedules.
