Thanks Mike. And yeah once we come up with some kind of LED setup that is comparable to the MH fixture I will for sure be really happy. Especially since LED's are the superior in every way.

Do a mini version of my LED, I am getting much better growth with the LEDs then I ever did with 4 - 250w MH & 4 - 54w T5's.

Well if I were to go like that I would probably use a 1/4 of what you used. If we run those numbers this is what it looks like

LEDS
5 - Cool White HEW
5 - Nautural White HEW
4 - CW XPG
2 - Red
2 - Green
8 - Royal Blue
8 - Blue

OPTICS
18 - 45 Degree
42 - 60 Degree

DRIVERS
3 - 38w
2 - 50w
2 - Mean Well ELN-60-48D

CONNECTOR WIRES
7 - start/end
? - 2"
? - 4"
? - 12"

FANS
2 - 120 mm fans
1 - splitter wire
1 - fan connector
1 - fan power supply

CONTROLLER
Dimmers for now with timers

But for the future

ProfiLux 3 or II ex with 3 EVG Controllers

HEAT SINK
18" x 18"



..........Actually......Drooool. That is awesome but I would be running the MH for a lot longer then I hoped just so I can save the money to do this set up.

With a cube you run all your blues off one driver & all whites off another driver. Red/Green on a moon light driver & high noon kit on a special wattage driver.
