Default DIY LED guides / information
Any good, thorough, concise guides / books / resources on designing and building a DIY led fixture?

We have a bunch of videos on our website about the different steps involved. Not aware of any books though.

When you are ready have a look at this site and order a great deal. The emitters are Bridgelux and 2nd if not equal to Cree. Myself and many of the nano-reefs.com DIYers have purchased from them successfully.
