I have recently finished my LED light project (which I started back in December of last year Big smile). It had been functional since late December, but it took a while to put it all together and make it not looking like a schizophrenic electrician's nightmare Wink.

SPECS:

LED:
30x CW CREE XP-G R5 5W
39x RB CREE XT-E 3W
12x UV exotic (3x 405nm, 3x 430nm)
6x   Blue CREE XP-E 3W (as moonlights)

Power supply:
Meanwell SE 350-48

Drivers:
6x Meanwell LDD 1000H (run CW and RB)
1x Meanwell LDD 700H (runs UV)
1x Meanwell LDD 300H (moonlights)

Heatsink:
extruded aluminun 4.850" wide and 47" long from www.heatsinkUSA.com

Cooling:
2x Prolimatech PRO-BV14 Vortex fan (140 mm) mounted on the heatsink
2x GELID Solutions Silent 6 FN-SX06-38 fan (60mm) mounted in the housing

Brain:
Arduino MEGA with a touch screen display running Jarduino 1.2 software
(fully customizable dimming cycles, built-in moon phase, temperature monitoring, etc.)

Housing:
8" PVC pipe cut in half (longitudinally) LOL

way cool. Did you build the Jarduino yourself? I started one and moved on to something else. I'd like to see it one day.
