Hi, new to the community and forums in general, got into the field about 6 months ago, and since have been playing around with LED setups since, my current HPS's run about 1K a month in energy bills. So far i got KindLED, KingLED and a bunch of other under 500$ lights, KindLED 1000W is so far the best light, at $1800 though its probably the most expensive, and even though the controls and functions are very nice, i didint think it was worth the $1200 that one can save, long story short, got Gigahertz Optics Spectral light meter, and the claims DID NOT add up, so i started experimenting with building my own lights, (im going for beam bars) 25/50/100W Leds so one beam should be around 10KW of light, dimmable of course, and I also ordered some lenses to direct the edge diodes toward the center. Im going 320-490 for the Veg and 580-830 for Flower, adding extra UV and IR on the side of the setup made a pretty good difference compared to the control. Will report progress after more parts come. Oh, and for cooling, im using watercooling on both sides, works like a dream
