Hey there Emmie,

When I read your post the first thing I wanted to tell you was to shout out to Weezard.
Since he already saw your post and volunteered his talents, I was delighted. The "lil lizard" is the best LED guru left standing here. :thumbsup:

Some of us have already done side by sides just to prove to ourselves or partners that LEDs do work and can produce a better finished product plus as good as production as HPS.

Just so you know, DIY LED lights are not a cheap proposition. Good 5 watt diodes from LedEngins (a favorite american brand) will run abt $8.50-10.50 each, already mounted on MCPCB depending on color and wavelength. Plus then you need a power supply plus drivers, heat sink and cooling fans. Oh, btw when thinking abt wattage understand that a 5w diode will only put out 3-3.5w each driving them carefully.

Hope you decide to build one, I'm sure Weezard can fill you in on more details to consider.
