Love RIU! I want to get my feet wet with LEDs by building my own small fixture. I would like to build my own. It's only for vegging, and I want to evenly cover a 1 sq ft area from a height of only 2 ft or less, so I think it's total max of only 45w. I want to learn to work with LEDs, so this is a LED question only.
What led bulbs would work best for this? This is for veg small plants. Can I get some broadness to my spectrum and so do I mix and match bulb wavelengths? Since I'm going to try and PWM dim it, I want no more than a 45 watt driver, right? I guess I want small wattage individual bulbs so I can have more bulbs that add up to 40w total? So what brand and models of bulbs should I purchase in this case?
