Designing LED grow panel
Anyone that could be any help in my LED project, feel free to chime in.
This light panel will be put in a single Rubbermaid grow box. I plan to run Luxeon Rebel LED series, in a Saber Tri-Star chip. Essentially, there's three Rebel LED's on one chip, having a 10V forward voltage, and the ability to run 700 mA. I want to run 3 reds, and 3 blues. The reason why I want to use equal colour amounts is because it makes it easier to wire for drivers, and the red colour LED's are more efficient than the blue LED's.
I've been doing a lot of research lately, and I honestly just wanted the straight up opinions of people who already have been through the DIY route. I found an amazing website for LED growing: ledgrow.eu
I plan on using active cooling; a fan blowing on the heat sink. I would use two of those drivers, and have a AC to 24V DC power supply with at LEAST 5 amps to power both drivers. The LED's will be wired in three parallel circuits, giving each LED unit 700mA. The final setup should be around 35 watts for the lights only, and more in total due to inefficiencies and fans. What do you guys think?WeayLay Reviewed by WeayLay on . Designing LED grow panel Anyone that could be any help in my LED project, feel free to chime in.
