Hey all-
I have a small pepetual grow cabinet with a veg area that is 30 inches x 40 inches for a total of 10 sq ft. Currently I have 3 2ft. 4 bulb T5 fixtures in the space but would like to switch to using LEDs, specifically the solderless neutral white XM-L2s from rapidled.com.
I ordered 13 of them and a 1400ma meanwell driver. I also ordered 5 of the 2 inch wide and 27 inch long heatsinks from heatsinkusa.com.
I figure that each led will emit about 4 watts at 1400ma, so the whole foxture would be about 54 watts.
Think that's enough to veg clones to a size of about 20 inches without a lot of stretch?
Attached is a plan for my build...
