I spent the day in Olympia with state legislators......

Thinking of a LED light fixture design for the flower room. I have dreamed up a fixture with 18x Cree CXB3590s arranged in a 4x3x4x3x4 grid in a 3'x5' rectangular frame with two 4' T5 UVA/UVB bulbs for supplemental lighting. This would be used in a 4'x7' grow area. I would use 3 Meanwell...

Thank You Dan! I am loving the light, I especially like being able to see the plants without a 2'x4' fixture in the way.

New video uploaded. I unbox and put together a Timber Grow Lights kit.

Sounds like a very nice setup for flower. The only thing I would add is a UVB bulb. I know it works, I have grown some really heady stuff with it with 2x 600w HPS

It is going to be a bit before I can act on my desires, money is tight and I am unable to afford even lighting the grow room up ATM. Doing research is a whole lotta fun though......

Looks like the 200w kit from Timber Grow Lights is the one. I hope this is good for my setup! http://timbergrowlights.com/200-watt-cree-cxb3590-4-cob-grow-light-kit/

One of my goals is to reduce my electricity consumption. The 8x T5 uses 400W+ with all bulbs lit up, I was thinking the Cree CXB3590's could be run with it dimmed down to about 100-150W, depending where the plants are in growth. As they get bigger I could turn it up to help with light...

great input, I have some more info, keep it coming!

Please excuse me if this is a well thrashed subject. I am currently lighting my 2x4 veg tent with a 8x T5 fixture. Looking into doing a DYI LED setup using Cree COBs, possibly doing the MAU5 IV kit from Cutter. (I know Growmau5 is on Rollitup) I am a jack of all trades, and I know enough about...

Shaking it up a bit!
