So I have finally made up my mind as to what I am going to do for LED's. With the help of Martin ( Modular LED ) we have come up with this:

4 - 12" x 12" LED pods all with 68 LED's each

20 - Cool White XP-E / 45 degree optics
16 - Royal Blue XP-E / 60 degree optics
16 - Blue XP-E / 60 degree optics
4 - Red XP-E / 60 degree optics?
4 - Green XP-E 60 degree optics?
8 - Natural White XP-G (high noon kit) / 45 degree optics

All the CW, RB & B will be run off 1 - 200w driver each, the red's and green's will be run off a 38w driver each & the NW will be run with 1 - 75w driver.

Also adding 2 EVG-AP-2F Dimmable Ballast Driver card's to enable all the LED's to be controlled by my Profilux 2EX controller.

Going to build my own heatsinks out of some 1/4" plate aluminum & 1/8" x 1" aluminum flatbar.

Retail would be about $2500 but Martin is giving me a nice discount because of the quantity but I will not disclose the actual $$$ figure out of respect for Martin.

Still playing the waiting game on the HEWs unfortunately. Almost two months now waiting on CREE. Apparently someone in North America is buying up every CREE white LED they can get their hands on and its having a huge knock on effect for everyone else. Its very frustrating.

Fill me in a bit Martin, what are HEW LEDS?
