Rives- I'd certainly consider consolidating from 5 to 4 if I can. Consolidating to three means that I have 18 LEDs on one driver, which might need to be a 65V driver.
I can't really spec the drivers until I select the specific LEDs, and get their mA rating and Forward Voltage.
xmobotx- I'm looking at Cree 10W CW, NW and WW. That's all I got so far, but clearly I need to select them next in my progression. Starting with the viewing angle. Seems that it's better to have a larger panel for light coverage, and a narrower angle could be accommodated to get good overlap.
I will Google "wall wort" power supplies. Thanks for that
So I guess my next step is figuring out the viewing angle. Any great ideas? Again, the thought is 4 of these panels for a 4' x 4' grow area. Each panel might be 12 x 15 or whatever.
Thanks guys! This is getting closer to a full plan.
