LED PANEL HELP

[clongo]

I need to make a few panels that accomplish these goals,

Even far red to red presentation along the entire length of the plant

independent timing plug for each spectrum or some way to put them on a light controller or aquarium timer.


made from the most efficient led's for each of these spectrums: Full spectrum white with a peak near 420-430 nm (like the spectrum for an actinic bulb) , 630~660 nm, and 730~735 nm

I am in over my head with electronics and leds. I am trying to light a wardrobe with them, which is why i think putting them on sheet metal heatsinks would save a lot of space compared to the pre-made panels. What wattage and lens angle would be good for my application?

Thanks so much

If you want some advise on growing with LEd then maybe look at my post.

Led grow log testing the Pro-Grow 260

I think making your own led lights will be more costly and less effective than the pro led light makers.

I havent bloomed with this light yet but the veg stage is awesome.

Bloom will be coming in the next few days. Ill give the plants 36 hours of darkness to trigger the bloom hormone and get them moving quicker.

Check it out on this site or here: LED LOGGER

I don't know how far along you are with making your own LED lights but I would love to see them in action if you can post something.

Thanks

Take care

How did your DIY LED grow turn out ?

I must admit I would be out of my depth putting one of them together too !

Can you show me how things are going for you ?

Thanks

Oh, you can see my grow here: LED LOGGER

Or you can see the grow log I have on here.

Take care
