DIY LED Hood: Prebuild Thoughts...

[GMGQ]

I like the colour i've adjusted them to now. It's kind of hard to say it's 1:1, as the whites can handle more voltage than the blues. Right now my blues are at about 800mA and the whites are around 1000-1100mA.

This fixture is on my frag tank, so I set it for a bit more white than blue, for better growth.

thermal tape is so much easier to work with than grease

I agree with you. you can use a flat bar al if you want, just got to keep it cool.
