so we have lots of derailing talk in other threads about DIY lights and what would be the optimal LED layout these days. would love to start a conversation about this.
As for a project i'm working on.
I'm planning a diy light for a frag tank in my fish room as something for some tinkering. Here is what i'm thinking layout wise would be ideal.
2x Violet (prolly 2 hyper violets or 395/420 semileds)
4x RB
1xWhite (luxeon C 5700k)
1xMint
the white has good coverage in the 470-500 range we usually fill with a cyan and true blue so leaving them out. what are your guys thougts? will actually more likely consist of 3 clusters. one K16 Luxeon RB running at 600mah (25.2 watts), 4 Violets, 2 Whites, and 2 Mints. heck though since its for growth not show I might just remove 1 white and 1 mint.
