 Designing LED grow panelEfficacy aside, let me suggest that you add another red module. 
 
 Royal blue is a high energy frequency.
 Red is quite low-energy, relatively.
 Blue triggers photo-tropism, etc. but red light is the "workhorse" here.
 If you add a red module, and you intend to flower with this light, let me suggest using 660nm. deep red.
 They made little difference in veg., so I use the 627nm lights there.
 In flower, however, the difference was notable.
 Fatter, harder colas.
 
 Only other advice that comes to mind is, do not cheap out on the heat-sink.
 You need to move heat away from the emitters as rapidly as possible.
 As the junction heat rises, efficiency fall off a cliff, and life expectancy takes a dive as well.
 Protect your investment and get the most bang for your buck, brah.
 Honkin' big heat-sink, with a muffin fan on a thermostat is a great investment at this point.
 
 Check my albums for ideas.

 Aloha,
 
 Wee'zardWeezard Reviewed by Weezard on . 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 Rating: 5
