Thank you, most of the board is Cree and Bridgelux. To pass you towards my way of thinking outside of the box with LED. Look to evolution. Now look at Nasa findings (Lettuce) ? Now look at blues and reds and look at the way all the led companies have designed around those findings (alga = 2 cell thick layer in a petri dish). Now look to the latest findings from 2010 about stomata action and the processes that REALLY drive it (it's actually on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuwAtfBk6NI&list=FLYph8SykuuCMyqTzr1NTntA&index=1&feature=plpp_video). Now look to why LED companies say HID is only 15% efficient because that is one of the biggest lies ever, photosynthesis is an important process but alas it is only one of many going on. Finally look at the Evidence everywhere on the internet that the current LED's do not grow anywhere near HPS for flowering and that is a fact.No, not trying to be negative....Sorry if you feel that way. Just trying to pick your brain(maybe a little to excited). Haven't grown with led yet(so not ripped off), and i'm mainly a CMH grower indoors. Current regulated power supply is what I "suggested" to use due to the fact that they adjust the "current" appropriately if an led burns out and won't overdrive the leds that are still lit, causing premature dimming. Also IMO white leds are a filler for a unbalanced light spectrum, if you use a large percentage of them your basically copying HID lighting (non tailored) by pushing huge lumen output with low par absorption.
If your serious about using only top bin leds in your panel and for the price you suggested, I'll be interested in buying one (seriously). Till then I will restate what i said previously ^^^ " I'm excited to see what you come up with....and wish you much success".
Peace...
ps: when I mean "top bin" i'm talking about cree/bridgelux/osram/luxem....not epistar/optotech/other crappy asian leds...
Best wishes for the new year
