Questions
How big is the 1000W Controller PCB?
It measures 74.9 × 62.2 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the 1000W Controller use?
61 parts, built around the R-783.3-0.5, ADUM1201AR and LD1117V. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the 1000W Controller KiCad files?
From the benvrakas/1000W-LED-Controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is docs/Kicad/Temp Snapshot/1000W Controller/1000W Controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic docs/Kicad/Temp Snapshot/1000W Controller/1000W Controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the 1000W Controller design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask benvrakas before reusing the design.
