I might as well continue here. i thought of starting a new thread, but I'm busy as heck around here!
It took me a bunch of time, but I built a Constant Current LED Driver, then I built 6 more with ease. I'm not really sure how it works, but it works!
I also attached my LED beads to a heatsink (What a pain in the butt)
Now all I need is a bunch more heat sinks and the rest of my lights and switches to get here!!
I also completed my "drip pan"/"Shallow water Culture" plexiglass thingy (there isn't enough shallow water culture info here. Can anyone point me towards some?)
My painting wood glue and sticking space blanket mylar to the walls did not work. It wasn't a strong enough bond, so I bought some spray adhesive. I'll do that stuff later. i'm nerded out today!
yay!
