I am just starting to barely understand the current technology with regard to LED's and their capabilities. I am interested in saving money, energy, and basically keeping up with new ideas to better my garden. So for now I am experimenting around, hoping to discover the perfect array of LED's to eliminate the HID's (eventually). I am open to all sources of tech. China, America, wherever.
This is my 1st DIY project that I stumbled into because my $1200 Chinese light plant had failed me, and with that kind of investment, I was literally forced into learning how to fix it. Blessing in disguise so it seems. Having said that, I fixed it, and now seem to be almost addicted to finding and /or building a crazy bright LED array of some kind , with no need for HPS or MH. To be determined. . . I wanna buy some Chinese LED tunnel or Stadium lights in warm white. They are stupid bright
Now , I may not have everything correct here, but it was just a quick 1 day throw together.
This is basically the kit I gathered from various sources-
This is the 100 watt 630nm chip itself -
Setup on the heatsink-
Its pretty damn bright too-
