Hello, I dont have any fancy pictures yet but here is my idea, influenced by the ufo led grow lights here: http://www.ledgrowlightsoutlet.com/90-w-ufo-led-grow-lights.html.
The design is simple ; make a circular fixture, the one i have drawn up uses 16 cfls, I would use the 26 watt cfls. You could do what you like for spectrum as they are changeable very easily.
I would use the lamp holders pictured here; http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100356849/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053
Or maybe a smaller one, wired up behind them connected, I also designed it to have a backside with an exhaust fan and ports, and pretty much a slightly larger unit with cfls instead of leds. My calculations if you have 16 26 watt cfl's at 1750 lumens each, you can have a fixture with 28000 lumens and covering lst'd plants or scrog you could keep very close to the plant, I think its a good idea, and I'm going to build it, if you guys are interested I will post my progress.
Opinions and idea's are welcome!!
