Hello all, just some nostalgic moment I want to share with you....Some days ago doing a deep cleaning at home I found some of my first led modular "lamps" I built circa 2001. All were red leds..I think they were kingbright..the modules were running at 12 volts..at this time I did not know even the diference between constant current and constant voltage...
Incredibly most of the leds still work 17 years after...I used a few of this modules to add some red light to my 250 watts Metal halide long time ago...when Overgrow website was alive...

And now after 17 years, a friend asked me to build him some lamps with a very limited budget...600 watts total.. TCI cheap drivers and "samsung" chinese roll strips ...very cheap...but it does the work...I built the lamps in a modular way...3000 and 4000 K combined

You can see ..only a few leds in one module failed cause I put my feet on them...:( and you can see also a sonoff controller in the middle..

Hope you like.
