    Homemade grow light.

    Built this here light. Not sure how well it will work. But hey, this is science.
    Power Supply:HLG-320H-C1750A
    LED:4xBXRC-30G4000-D-73-SE vero 18 se
    3xBXRC-40G4000-D-73-SE vero 18 se
    Heatsnk:6x Machatronix Iceled 550w/Meanwell Apv-12-12
    Frame and wiring from local supply house.


    Yes, this thing was costly, I could have bought 2 phlizon cree 1000w. However, I did use the more expensive components, so I feel justified.

    The PS is adjusted to 1650 ma output giving me roughly 50W/Cob for 300W total. Coverage is 2x3ft -2x5ft (fixtures are moveable)

    My only concern is whether or not I got the spectrum right. My main focus was a light for flowering. I fear I may have too much red. The graph is for 70-80cri typical, I used 90cri.

    let you know in 3 months how it works!
