Simple Quality DIY veg LED howto needed

Hi all,
Been reading around the forums and i've noticed there are quite a few nice DIY's for LED's on these forums.

I am a fellow grower who beleives in LED's if not for any other reason, I've just had the bonus of using my tent in a shed on hot days without cooling - low heat is great

So i'm looking to set up a LED chamber for vegging and cloning but I haven't found a detailed step by step guide for someone who knows very little about electronics

So I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction......

I'd also love to hear what the best LED's are to go with for whatever reasons

cheers

If you want to DIY a light, you need to run the calculations for the specs of the components you choose. That is asking someone to design a light for you. With a little searching the info is out there. Search out KNNA DIY LED.

You might want to check over the write-up in my sig - it is for a hybrid fixture, but there is a lot of detail in it on LEDs. Check out Mouser.com for Osram Golden Dragon +, Cutter.com for Cree, Jameco.com for Meanwell drivers. As T_B_M said, google knna and read up on his stuff - he's the guru. Read, read, read, read...........
