I don't want to poison this thread but I just want to share part of my experience with DIY LED panels.

This one is the third version I build ( 200 leds - 1w and 3w cheap leds from Ebay ) and I am very satisfied :

hempfield!! DUDE!!! nice build..very nice.........and nice draw on the meter as well...congratulations and keep up the great work.. How long that take to put together?? Also, the same thing I asked Guvoo, what did you use to attach the LED's to the aluminium heat sink? Was it the adhesive, tape or silicone.....or something else entirely?

NICE!!!

Now for a little review of Rapidled.

Everything was packed well.
The shipping was prompt with email notifications.
Emails have been responded to promptly.

Inside the package came a letter that stated, test the leds before you solder them in because we will not honor the warranty if you soldered them already. There was also a led tester included, just have to add 2 AA batteries.

So I will be testing leds tonight and finalizing the layout of the 2 different colors.

By the way, if you own a bluelab guardian and have the segments go out like this, I can give you a part number for a replacement.

Better have expert soldering skills as well!!
