My two new LEDs - The Good & the Bad
yeah, I use LED's as well. I made my own panels, with 3W LED's similar to the Cree LED's.
I agree with the guy who was saying that your plants won't reflect as much of that light if they were at optimal wavelengths. Mine turned out well, and produce a dark colored plant, it almost looks like it's going to die...lol.
If anyone is interested, I could assemble a custom kit for anyone who wants to get a cheaper/better alternative to what's obviously being produced. I can even assemble it for a bit extra, just has a larger chance of breaking during transit. I do protect them as best I can.
The Kit would come with:
- Tube of epoxy
- LED's (however many your panel requires)
- Pre-Cut aluminum sheet (This acts as your light reflector/heat sink/mounting plate. It's what they make road signs out of, I get it through a local sign company)
- Wire (You have to cut it to the length you need, the metal sheet will come with a template drawn on it for mounting the LED's)
- Larger Wire (For the main power Lines to Power Supply)
- *Optional* 12V 20+ amp Power Supply (Required, however if you have one...)
- Instructions
(Or I can assemble it for a little extra, prices vary by custom requirements)
I built my panel that can run at:
- 11.5VDC - 12VDC (All the panels will have this range)
- 8.35amps - 9amps
- 96.02watts - 108watts
And it can keep up with a 400 watt HPS at it's lowest voltage (It's what I've tested, I currently have a power supply that can't produce a true 12V, however my kits would use a better supply that I've sourced for my own replacement)
Keep on Tokin!
