Thanks, I thought it turned out quit well. Better then the first one, going to change that one a bit one night. Make it have better airflow like my 2nd model.
I was pretty baked when i posted this last night forgot to add some info.
First off i built these after checking out this thread https://www.rollitup.org/t/cree-cxa3050-100w-custom-led-grow-journal-with-dinafem-blue-widow.733157/. So Props to bbspills for doing the journal with the CXA3050 2700k and killing it.

I have only had the first light up for 3 days now but i swear the buds are getting fatter under the Cree lights. Maybe i am just tripping I guess a bit more time will tell.

Somebody's a machinist. That's very cool the way you incorporated the 3-prong receptacle.
If it was me I'd pop a big hole in that plate covering the fan and install a fan grille rather than inhibiting air flow to the fan. I'm sure what you have works fine though

Thanks Guys
That fan can breath just fine like that. In fact i would put money on it that if you used a grill right next to the fan like they usually are put on, that it would impede air flow more then the way i did it.
Here is what i was working on today. A DIY dehumidifier made with a 60 watt peltier. Here it is after a hour running.
It is on a timer so it turns off for 5 minutes every hour then the water melts into the tray.

The grow sun has been working pretty good. There is one light on it though the ladies seem to really like. I believe it is a cree. Here is a pic with it circled. But the bud right under that Cob has been getting fatter then the others. Today i took the lens off and all the buds in that area turned right towards that light. I would like to add three more of those jokers. I got the light straight from the factory so if i would have known i could have it custom built with 4 of those. Hell maybe even all 8. I can still order More of those cobs from the factory. You take out 4 screws and the cob will unplug so you can replace a burnt out one. Got to see how much they want for some first. Hoping they tell me what chip it is then maybe i can pick some up and DIY them.
Used to be a machinist for awhile way back when. But I do have a small shop set up mini mill and lathe. There not the greatest but as long as you dont try to hog out a bunch of metal at one time they get the job done.

Compare your DIY LED light with those Chinese LED grow lights , they seems weak. Nice !!!Thanks, I thought it turned out quit well. Better then the first one, going to change that one a bit one night. Make it have better airflow like my 2nd model.

Here is a pic from a few minutes ago. Strawberry Cough is in the front she been under the cxa3050 Since it was built. The Indica in the back was under the ebay LED most of flower going to be interesting to see the next run under a CXA if she grows fatter. Loving these CXA's They grow some FaT BuDs

I fried it awhile back so no peltier. I got some more on the way they are really cheap off ebay. I paid 7 bucks for three 60 watters shipped via the slow boat from china. going to be more careful with those. I wont have to use it all the time usually just rainy days when the humidity gets high and really it takes a couple rain days in row. So no too worried about the power. Most of the time i can keep the room in the low 40's. Going to add one more intake fan too see if that helps out any when the humidity is high.Very cool use with the Peltier, literally! Are you still using it?
I had looked at one of these a while ago, a very small one in fact, but it used so much power, I went away from the idea....but very cool to see it in play
