While I have continued to have an interest in the project of a home grown DMS LED grow light project / product, I had become stalled out looking for suppliers of the proper LED units to provide the best lumens per watt as well as lumens per dollar while keeping within a range of specs for wattage, form factor and display angle.
Doing a search on “LED grow lights” on this forum, you may pull up prior threads. . .
Here is a brief recap of prior threads and discussion:
@jagman - has leads on spectrophotometry and the software for the machine
@clayton - began a thread in dec to raise interest in such lights for a variety of applications
@rice81 - me - interested in hydroponics and aquaponics applications as well as my general interest in LED lighting as a means toward home electrical efficiency.
@opcode and @lampy have provided input and general interest
@SRichardson3D - loaned us some metal halides for aquaponics and may be interested
@Ian_Jaeger - has worked with LEDs on an industrial scale and has thermal management and other experience with them
I recently met a local EE with design and production experience in LED products and grow lights in particular who while not a DMS member may be interested in an analysis or brain storming of our resources, interests and such to continue action towards our interests in these products.
Who is interested in an informal DMS evening meeting where we can all discuss things and what is a good evening or weekend?
