How much did all the materials cost?

I, for one, admire folks like you that take the time to research and construct your own lights.

Well done, and best of luck.

Hi wilksey... id say around 100$$$ but its bout to get more leds just waittin for led psu to test... and as soon as my thermometer comes ill be able to give more accurate readings.... also i want to add the lens soon too and will be testing the 100 watt multichip and probably get cheap chinese cobs soon too... my goal is to see the lumen drop over time really test if its ok or good enough to grow with over name brands like cree and so on

And the price on chinese leds has been dropping hopefully not the quality... so its only getting cheaper to go with chinese leds

Hello everybody or anybody out there in R.I.U land i wanted to do a pic update

As yu can see the difference in four weeks of being under this cheap chinese light i would say im almost sold on the fact that they do produce but i noticed a lumen drop since day one... now id say theres atleast a 10% to 20% lumen loss due maybe to heat or low quality not sure but i doubt its the heat... most likely the bin

Got my baseplate which im still undecided if ill go with 3 or 5 watt diodes... finding the right heatsink and driver too will be a job in itself.... i was gonna do 1 watt but i rather push it harder
