I thought you guys might get a kick out of this. The winter did a real number on my hydrangea and it looked like it wasn't going to last so I brought it inside and rigged up a little "veg light" for it. It is the CREE horticulture reference design LEDs with 9x 4000K XP-G3 and 3x 660nm XP-E Photo Red. I had a few 25x10x300mm heatsinks so I stuck them to that with some pieces of thermal tape, 3D printed some heatsink mounts, and strapped the ends to a piece of 1/2"x1/2"x1/16" aluminum angle. From there it got decidedly ghetto as the only power supply I had sitting around was 12V and a way overpowered 300W boost converter. While I was at it, I added on a DC voltage and current meter, wrapped the plant in some reflectix mylar bubble insulation for a little reflection, and added a 80mm computer fan to aid in transpiration (the leaves were showing droplets of moisture). The whole thing hangs on some bungee cords on a quick PVC frame.

I think I have some sort of LED addiction problem. Put them on all the things.
 
Here’s mine CXM’s running at 1400ma in a big 2x3. I purchased assembled light engines, that simplified things a bit and I was able to enjoy building the frame. Lots of pics, but each is worth about a couple hundred words. Ask ????? If ya want

Check out my journal to see the light performance . 404watts including 3 fans
 
Osram SSL in the front build, 3500k at 700mA but could be driven higher if desired. 6 CXB-3590s in the rear being driven at 2100mA. I was thinking it would be way too hot because they are close together, but not an issue.DSC00445.JPG IMG_20180102_124107.jpg DSC00439.JPG
