Just found this section and decided to share my recent project. I got into DIY LED's at around the time I decided to build this little box. I didn't care about its appearance, I just needed it to be concealable. The idea was to build a small mother keeper that would require almost no maintenance.
I built the box out of PVC, formufit fittings, and panda film. I used low power 120mm fans for intake and air movement. Design is not in any way complex and I was done this way bc I had all required parts already lying around.
Light is provided by my DIY LED which uses 1 single Vero 29 5k cob mounted to a used heatsink I snagged from ebay. Its powered from a 700mA Meanwell driver and does not need active cooling but I used one anyway. LED pulls 23 watts, very intense. Not using any optics yet but my holder just came in so a reflector is up next.
Plants are 16 days old, started in that box, and simply manually top fed. 3"x3"x3" rockwool cubes.
