Pretty sure he's booked up for the next little while on these projects

I was over there the other night, and his setup is certainly nice, and the color is awesome, but again, no long term history to consider yet.
I know what my 400w radiums can do in a year, I haven't seen the LED results yet, or not enough anyway.

Thanks for the kind words Brad, you are one of the first people to see it really (Ronnie did beat you to the punch tho)

Here are some pics of the Dimmable LED+T5 DIY for those interested:

Brad,

Did you ever figure out how to wire a fan with the driver? I've been trying to figure this out too, as I dont see a point of having a separate power brick just to run the fan.

It would be great to wire it with the driver and LEDs so that the fan comes on when the LEDs come on.

LMK, thanks man.

So I'll put my name up tho for a rain check on the building, just in case I ever change my mind -lol

Now.. With just 6 white and 6 blue wire up... And this is bright.

I can't wait to replace 2x36 PC in the bio cube with 72 watts of led.
