480nm - 615nm Cree xm l2 10w 6500k? ----25x
3 Watt Red 620-630nm Bridgelux LED mounted on a heatsink starboard. 70-80 lumens
630nm Bridgelux Red Power Led 3w 610nm-630nm x16 + x16 + x16
660nm Deep Red 3W LED (640-660nm) Epiled CHIPS x16 + x16 +x16

i think you should get heatsinks locally

thats whats killing u on shipping

even if you use pc heatsinks and dont run the fans(although u could use the fans to circulate air in the space as well) it would be cheaper

plus your english sounds like you are in the EU so the VAT will fuck u an extra 20% on top(DHL never misses the VAT)

need a little help if someone doesnt mind

3W ULTRAVIOLET UV LED (380-390NM EPILED) x16
FAR RED / IR LED (740-745NM EPILED) - 800MA x16
3W ROYAL BLUE LED (440NM EPILED) x32
3W BRIGHT BLUE LED (EPILED 460NM) x16
3W FULL SPECTRUM PAR LED (BRIDGELUX 380-840NM) x16
AMBER POWER LED (EPILED 595-610NM) - 800MA x16
Deep Red LED (640-660nm EPILED) - 800mA x48
Bright Red LED (630nm EPILED) - 800mA x 96

Cree xm l2 10w 35 degree x25

one question is is this too much red and also are deep reds now good enough and efficient enough to use less of the bright reds or is it still better to use more bright reds?

secondly how much is a good amount of uv and a good amount of IR will having too much stunt or halm growth?

also if i add all this to getther its 256 x3w + 25x 10w = 1018w in terms of led does 3w mean 3w?
also what driver would i need to run this would i need like 9 or 10 28v ones ?

i set out to kind of copy a http://store.advancedledlights.com/3w-led-grow-lights/new-diamond-series-xml-10w-cree-xml/ ds xml 650

but it seem to be turning into a monster
for example if i reduced the number of full spectrum and ir and uv leds would this make much diffence in grow etc

its confusing cus the one that i was looking at copying has exactly the same number leds but loos like its only 650w

DS XML 650
5.5' x 5.5'
5' x 5'
(24) 10w USA Made
Cree XML LED's
(256) 3w High Output LED's
(single chip)

25.5"L x 25.5"W x 3"H

36
618w




im prob going to put dimmers on this too

actualy concidering theres is like £1500 this will be a hell of a lot cheaper

any help would be appreciated
