For some reasoning can't get volume on those videos idk why

Vio your fixture looks awesome
Is this first build??

Thank you, i am close, i will post more pics. yes is the first build.
i skip the 7500k cool whites, 4500k neutral whites, anythink under 10.000 K ( on white) i dont like it, look to yellow, my fixture light reflect just like 14.000 K MH, i use 12.000 k to 15 .000 K on white.

Very nice spread I like that you used acrylic box for your drivers that makes it very easy to handle all the drivers. I saw video where big screen controller is being used to control the led's did you build that controller?

Thanks,

Rav

I may change the Acrylic box, the drivers warm up , i already find stereo box (amp.) about control,i make 2 mistakes , i order one set (3) not dim. than i buy (3) more dim. but 0 to 10 V , i gone keep this fix. for experiments, than the next one i will use Storm X PWM LED Controller or Arduino.
Now i now , i need Power supply (PWM) +Mean Well LDD-1000HW dimmable driver + Storm X or Arduino.

How much did materials cost total?

Cost 4 drivers ( $ 32x 4) $ 132
LED 50 X $ 3 $ 150-170
6 x 10 ohms potentiometer ($ 4) = $24
2x $10 10 V power ad.= $ 20
lens 50 x $1 = $ 50
one fan $ 15
rest, garbage from my garage.
lets say $ 400, a way to much if u compare to any light fix. on ebay, but is NO way to find 4 ch. + full spectrum w/$ 130 + i run Royal Blue before and after the full spectrum start (on timer 1 hour) and spend only 30 W, i run now 53 W ( 150-170 PAR) than i will go to 250-350 PAR (75 W) i use to run 4 T5 (54 x 4 = 216 W) + change lights every 6-8 months.
