Hermie,

You made my head spin with that! I kept up though. Great ideas! No waste, that's the way to go.

I haven't put much thought towards this today or yesterday as work has kept me very busy.

After doing the math it would be easier to rig up some kind of light mover and use an 8+2 light. That should penetrate well. The mover on a 6' rail is like $160-$180. I could cut the rail to fit my space and eliminate the need to make a bigger/wider/crazier light. Just the extra LED's needed to make the big dog light I would like cost as much as the light mover. That's not taking into account the extra heat sink, fans, and LED drivers.

That way I can put the light 6" or so over the plants and they will all get even coverage! Would be a great SCROG experiment......

These CFL's are too hot. Room temps are 82 with the lights on and 73 with them off. Should be able to keep it in the 70's all LED.

Also noticed the other day that the three plants I have are all hermied. No pun intended. That's what you get for using bagseed. :-( Big let down. I need to get some good feminized ones for the new light.
ledtime Reviewed by ledtime on . Calling out to Weezard for LED advice My friend, I've read your stuff here and at Steve F.'s site. I want to build a dedicated flowering lamp using Ledengin 15 watters. (4 reds, 1 blue, and possibly 1 warm white; LM 317's so I can tweak the ratios.) Essentially, a copy of your 4+1 cake pan lamp but built on a 4 x 18" finned heatsink so I can see what's going on under it.) If I were to post my picks for power supply, resistor ratings / values, etc., would you critique and perhaps offer some guidance? I have already purchased Rating: 5
