D@mn! Grizz, your pics are making me rethink getting Radions! Just be a lot easier if I had the equipment to build a canopy that would look nice!
AWESOME job man!

Martin is the guy to go to for DIY LEDs!

Oh I don't want that :lol: & thank too.I just couldn't justify the cost for manufactured fixtures & I wanted to see what it would look like with reds & greens. Plus when I was talking with the wife about cutting our power consumption around here 4 - 250w MH in the livingroom had to be the first to go. Then when I was showing her the costs of manufactured fixture I got the " LOOK OF DEATH " from her.

That's super impressive with all of them on .. very cool.

You've probably addressed this already earlier, but my memory for details like that is like 5 to 10 minutes tops. What's your total wattage with everything on?

Actually that has never been asked yet but with a total of 272 LEDs @ 3w each that would be 816w at 100% intensity.
