    £68 each for these panels. I got 2 of them. My budget was a bit tighter a week ago. I had £300 for everything. Now I have an extra £300 for the diy light. And I agree that given the shape with rectangular panels it will give me better coverage. One of the other guys on here ssjGemini, drew me...

    They look better. I will go with cxb3590 as they are more efficient. I'm gonna a spend quite a bit on this light so may as well get best for my money.

    My First DIY LED

    I found some snazzy looking copper ones. I'm gonna look about as I don't really want the long single ones. Would rather individual ones for each cob.

    Right, I have repotted them all today so they have room to grow a bit. Noticed some nice purple shades under the first set of leaves on about 5 of them . Most have started on their second set so hoping they start to pick up a bit now. Looking good. Believe they are 5 days old. They will go to...

    Not gonna lie. This is inspiring. I'm at step one in my diy venture. I was thinking on a similar design using cxb's on an aluminium tube. You have made me rethink, can't wait to see the finished product.

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    Ah. Thought case fans had a thermostat control. That one was set at 42c I think so surely will ramp up rpm to keep surface area of heatsink at set speed. Edit: learnt something new, would need a 4 wire fan. Cheers for pointing that out.
