LED light

Here the wires from the Red led strips


Here the center row of 5mm leds are installed. This is a row of yellow leds

Power supply

Here is my power supply. It is a simple full wave unregulated circuit. Its output is 30v DC at 2A.

Here is the progress of the LED light. I have drilled all of the holes and mounted the Red led PCBs


Here is a close up the the red strips. They are made form scrap FR4 with SMT high output red LEDs mounted with epoxy. They are Daisy chained with buss wire and supplied power with 30 gauge wire. I have to arrange the circuit for a 12/13 arrangement to make them work with the power supply I am building. I then mounted them to the aluminium plate with RTV and screws.

Aluminium for the LED light

Here is the layed out aluminium sheet for the LED light now allI have to do is drill 350 holes in it.

LEDs

I received my BLUE leds for the grow light

Killawatt

In an effort to track and cut down on the electric used I have acquired a kill-a-watt meter. This will be used for the LED grow light project. Hopefully I can design and build a LED grow light that is comparable to the fluorescent bulbs at greatly reduced power consumption.
