it's more complicated with optics and the fact you want to mix cool white and warm white and royal blue and blue which will lead to slightly different colours in different spots. When I built mine I did 4 rows of alternating cool white and royal blue. Each LED in the row is about 2 inches apart. The rows are spaced about 3 inches between them width wise. They are also the opposite arrangement if that makes sense. So if row 1 is WBWBWBWB then row two is BWBWBWBW and row three is WBWBWBWB with row 4 being WBWBWBWB. My 4 violets are spaced out evenly down the centre and the 4 greens and 4 reds are staggered front to back and length wise as well. I don't use any secondary optics on the violet, green or red so I get a pretty even spread from them.

Thanks guys
 The optics are fairly cheap in comparison to everything else. The heat sinks for the LED's were $120, aluminum light enclosure ( 52 x 12 x 4 ) was $175, main board of the controller was $60 and the daughter boards were $80. I'm not even going to mention the hours of R&D I sank into it and the $50 or so of SMD parts, but... in the end it will be a cool package giving the end user 24 channel LED Driver. Yes... I will be selling the units once I have it dialed in and running right. Last edited by _Adrian_; 10-18-2015 at 12:28 AM.

The Driver will be the venture meanwhile the fixture will be the test. There's also an aquarium controller with full array of accessories on the horizon as well...
