Hi Noctilucent!
I read a few of your posts, and was impressed with your grasp of LED's. So, I was hoping you could answer a quick question. If not, I understand!
Let's say I wanted to build an LED grow lamp composed completely of just Red 630nm LED's. I'd like it to draw somewhere in the vicinity of 150 watts, and I'd like to keep the budget under $300 (if possible). What would be an efficient arrangement of LED's and drivers in a panel?
From my reading, it appears that the 1-watt LED's are more efficient than the 2w-5w varieties, so I'll assume that I'd want about 175 x 1w LED's. But that's as far as my knowledge will take me.
Once I find what th ebest combination of LED's and drivers, I can take it from there.
Thanks so much (in advance) for help here! It's very hard finding reliable sources of up-to-date information on a technology that's so rapidly changing.
