Unlike my lights, i didn't go through the heatsink for wiring.


Well mostly. I didn't want to spoil my lens with holes for the wires.


Its alive!

Now i just have to figure out a way to mount the lights (and make the other one, heh) and re-mount the screen with these in mind. Currently its just sort of hacked into place. I really want to be able to swing one out of the way to remove the screen better...

Ditch the white LEDs. You will get nothing out of those compared to all red. Until I determine different, I am suggesting a 50:50 mix of 630nm:660nm and nothing else. If you have to choose one, keep this in mind. Hort growers (plants) see more growth from 630 than 660, watt for watt, because 630s have more intensity. However one guys that picked 660s for his scrubber gets great growth; this may be due to the need for a few extra LEDs for brightness and thus a better distribution pattern (for 3W deep reds - there are 5W DRs available too)
