Couldn't agree with you more. But most pre built led units just dont have the footprint or run hot. Diy is a good alternative if you want led that's affordable.

Diy hobby light building. Genius I tells ya! Could never have happened without youtube and the forums.
Too bad the diy prices are still way artificially inflated. And the tech will keep improving.
Not to mention that for $600-700 you can build a light equal or better than the lights on the market running between $1,200-1,600.Couldn't agree with you more. But most pre built led units just dont have the footprint or run hot. Diy is a good alternative if you want led that's affordable.

Plus it fun. See post #62There's no doubt there. I love my strips but theres still a learning curve and some people don't wanna deal with it. Also let's be honest those lights really are cool just too expensive lol

sorry - I'm an lazy folk -- Thanks !Is that a problem. There are plenty of YouTube assembly videos out there. It's very basic wiring. Or are you only interested in prebuilt units?
Just take your time. Ordering from China is cheaper just be careful. Sounds like you don't mind waiting for parts.sorry - I'm an lazy folk -- Thanks !
75 daysLooking good for just 1 Cree What size containers did/do you use - Good Scrog meaning good yields - how long was your veg period ?

It's a clean build makes it look a little too easy. But for a 4×4 space I'd have liked a different configuration for a better more even spread with less hot spots.doesn't matter as long as your grows a good
HERS A GOOD LIGHT FOR 179.00 FROM AMAZONCouldn't agree with you more. But most pre built led units just dont have the footprint or run hot. Diy is a good alternative if you want led that's affordable.
It will grow but you get what you pay for. In intensity and footprint. It's still a single point of light causing too many shadows. Would have to be used in a small area with reflective walls or in conjunction with other lights to truly be effective.HERS A GOOD LIGHT FOR 179.00 FROM AMAZON

Remember just because its bright does not mean it will grow well. "Lumens are for humans". Lolthey make good led's you will find that they are very bright
Yes but the fluence will have a much bigger footprint.I saw a vid from a light company that showed their test results for a bunch of lamps.
They had the lamp above tested at 1 gpw in their system while the fluence new lamp did 2 gpw.
Sorry i cant remember the name or find the vid.
But that is the main difference in efficiency that you pay for from my research. Huge difference.
