Jacob042426 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 I want to do a diy led now . Par bulbs are too expensive... Any idears?!!? Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I want to do a diy led now . Par bulbs are too expensive... Any idears?!!? Aquastyles seems to be the standard choice. Just be sure to work out a wider spectrum than 10k white and 460nm blue. I'm thinking about adding more colors to my spectrum. Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Like adding more colors of led's? Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Yeah, definitely get some red LEDs. He only lists white, blue, red and violet but I'd email him and ask if he has green, turquoise, etc. and try to get a wide spectrum of light. The white/blue combo can wash some color out IME.

Jacob042426 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 So would I be better not doing a kit and buying stuff from led group buy? What do you reccomend? Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 So would I be better not doing a kit and buying stuff from led group buy? What do you reccomend? I would do an aquastyle kit with some red and violet LEDs thrown in. But led group buy is really good too. Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Ok, thanks! Does Aquastyle do costom kits? Link to comment
snowflake ell Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 i dont think they do but you can buy every thing you need from the site Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'll ask them if I can get a costom kit. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Aquastyle does custom kits, just talk to ray. He was really nice when I was thinking about making a light. I just went with a premade fixture because I blow at building stuff like that. Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Ok, I'll contact him. Link to comment
