DIY diy custom cheap led panel what do you think?????

[sativalover]

as recent developments have shown in the led market the lens for reflecting and focusing the light plays a more crutial role than the wattage of the bulb
most higher wattage leds i have researched rec being a couple feet from tops during flowering and further during veg to induce internode stretch
heck i can get a 1,000 watt cool hood closer than that???

Light height seems to be the drawback with the 5 watters and some of the more powerful 3 watters. With the lights I'm using, Blackstar and GLH, I get good node spacing at about 18" in veg and can lower them to about 10 - 12" during flowering. The lense angles also play into it. 120 and 90 degee lenses can be closer to the canopy top than 60s.

I would do a fair amount of reasearch an planning before you try and make your panel. Cheap will become pretty damn expensive if you dont.
