The red and green sure pack a punch hey! For so little red and green LEDs in there compared to the rest.

Cant wait to get out and see this up and running.

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!

Oh I don't want that & 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.
