Rented a par meter and the light wasn't giving me the results I'm looking for. Found a couple of issues that will be fixed in version 2.

 

Issue #1 - power supply

The power supply doesn't have enough amps to drive 6 channels. 6x700maA = 4.2 amps the power supply can only provide 3.4 amps. 3.4A/6 = 567mA per channel which is only about 80%.

Solution - only drive 4 channels 4x700mA = 2.8 amps

 

Issue #2 - not enough LEDs

12 LEDs just isn't enough to light a 20H

Solution - the heat sink will hold 24 LEDs so that's what we'll put on it.

Why not add the NW & WW to the same channel ? What par numbers did you get seeming you weren't happy ? 

 

 You could also break the cluster up and make 2 clusters,more spread,even distribution,even par. 

 

 Something like this [per cluster]:

 

4x Royal Blue's or 2x RB / 2X UMB

2x Violets

1x Blue & 1x Mint

1x W & 1x WW 

 

 

 OR 

 

 

4x RB & 4x UMB

2x 380-400 V & 420-430 HV

2x NW & 2x WW x 2x Mint

2x Blue

Thanks I found this handy dandy calculator:

I think I'm going with the 3up blue/white and 3 color for higher density. I've also got it ciphered out to use three 700ma and two 500ma channels to stay within the amp requirements...

This is the power supply :'m using.    https://www.amazon.com/NES-350-48-Single-Output-Switching-Supply/dp/B018174H98

Its a bit larger then the one you have but it will do the job. I think I got mine on ebay from China.

Also, if more led's are needed add another HS side by side . You will have more coverage and power.

+1 on more LEDS. If you can cluster them tighter together or do what @Reefkid88 said about making two clusters. That would be similar to a AI Hydra or something ya know?
