Hola RIU,
I discovered recently that many people here do their LED lights! RIU seems the place to be for DIY LED MJ growers![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](/styles/smilies/rolleyes.png)
I would like to share my experience about DIY. I started 3 weeks ago with the help of knna, and now i can't stop to design new lights, as the LED efficiency is getting better and better.
Forgive me, english is not my mother tongue.
My first light was a veg lamp for a 2x2 tent:

i'm still using it, it worked like a charm since 3 years, knna leds, Osram GDs
After that i made her little sister, with GDs and Cree XPGs

An the big flowering lamp project, 120W for 2x2 tent, with many issues but finally she worked!

but the SP novas had a big soldering issue, so now the 660nm channel is not enough reliable, so i use this lamp only for veg.
here is the driver box, with different channel selection and dimmable drivers (knna's SOCC)
