ok, thank you all for the info, it has been quite an eye opener
My aim was to build an under 50$ LED panel for a midi or large computer case, but it seams that it still can't be done, yet.
LEDs work, but cost pretty penny.
thanks again!
It is getting close. Multichips might be already there, but they are limited in color choices that I have found.
Neekz and his kessil type, finally made me find something:
This one is already put together mostly $95
Would make a killer veg lite, but multichip style on a longitude heat sink aren't as flexible, unless you have 1 or 2 more.
DIY Complete LED Driver+Cree100W Multichip+Heatsink+Fan Ebay
What about several of these: Ebay 30W Cree Emitter WW and mount them on cpu coolers w/fans. Pretty small form factor. Here are more in Neutral White 30w Cree MultiChip and here is Green @ 520-560nm 30w
Cpu coolers sometimes can be had for less than $10.
Last one: I really dig Weezard's light, I hope there isn't a beef with post a link or whatnot from rrog's thread, 65w lamp, cool as hell. Probably could be built for $50. Here is the link of it, Turned on in same thread: https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=533&pictureid=3762&thumb=1
