DIY is there a step by step make your own led guide??

and how does this have 97 leds drawing 14 watt?? amazon led

or this 255 at 13? dont they draw liek 1-3watt each?? meaining 255watt or 710watt? amazon led

both of those panels are not worth the money bro, they wont grow you much its only putting out 13.8w of power, a waste of time and money bro.
there are a few members here that have full grows with the panel i linked and have had great results so i dont know where you got your information that they dont perform:shrug:
 
i didnt say they preform lol i just wondered hwo they worked out 96 1w leds to 14 watt lol..

i got ms006 from GN but i just wana try make a good led lol, got a pc case and gona get loads epistars
 
well... as said the china models are pronoun for not working or preforming so my bet is on the epistar chips or another uk brand,

i was talking about this post bro, thats why i was asking where you got your info from, as i said before the link that i provided showed chinese leds, of which there are a few grows on AFN with these lights, good luck on your attemp to build your own though :peace:
 
ah fair play , i kniow some are but its hard to find like 3 out of 50 peopel saellinng them,

the bysons are ok etc but cost wise the epistars are gona beat it i think

Item : 680nm high power led

USD 4/pc for 1w

USD 9/pc for 3w double chips.

High quality with 3 years warranty . Super low decay .

im gona go at it i wrekon
 
was thinking about making around 150 watts, 3watt leds x 50 (ish theres a rule or somthing 4red to 1 blue so close to 50 as i can )

i can then make another 1 after i finnish 1, keeps costs lower, 2 i can spread them out 3 there about the same as the ms004 then ,

chips ive founs now are the rebel es 3watt chips, and the cree's there around $3.50 each with a lense, guessing 60 degree for penetration not the 80degree lense thats for spread,

Philips Rebel ES 660nm LED with 60° or 80° degree Lens - Rapid LED

im guessing if i match the Deep Red 7pcs,Red 4pcs,Blue 2pcs pcs, Warm white 1pcs, Infrared 1pc that the ms004 has with rebels ill basicly build that light?? but it says they only use 14 3wleds? pulling 120-180 max this is what im confused on the most lol so dont i need 50 to match there wattage??

ah ok i figured it out there is 14 on each cluster x4 so yeah baiscly ill aim for building a ms004 rebel :) 4 clusters of 3watt rebels, 14 in each, :) any advice? lol

http://www.rapidled.com/led-university-1/ been reading this... i kindof understand it... im guessing depending on motor ill need 1 maybe 2 per cluster as 7 led would be max for the power, is that right?

7 x 660nm
4 x 630nm
2 x 460nm
1 x 6000k
1 x 730nm

is the leds i need in the rebels and i scourced some on alibaba at 0.9 usd
 
im not trying to put you off bro but its gonna cost you $234 for the leds and thats not including the white leds which will cost $24 for four of them so $258 just for the leds, you then need drivers, heatsinks, fans, thermal grease and plenty soldering skills and im sure i have missed a lot out, by the end of it your gonna be well over theprice of buying a unit bro:shrug:
 
alibaba has a scource at $2 for the episar without the lens, and the lens costs $1.69 so led alone $120 and the lenses i can add as i can afford,

ive got a ms006, i just want a project lol
