    It will be exactly the same look at any other fixture made with 660s and 455s

    Taking pics of these LEDs when they're on does not depict the color very well since LEDs mess with the color balance settings. They all look very similar, this is an e-shine fixture with 45 1W 660s and 5 1W 455s







    ^^that's my hand

    I've got one running on a 4x6 screen with 6 660s and 1 455 on each side, looks like a little overkill, I had to put a piece of diffuser in front of the 455 and that seems to have helped. Still too early to tell. Will post some pics of that after this weekend, doing a few mods and tweaks...want to make sure it's right before posting. My OP said 1 3W for each 3x4 section, I bumped this up to one for every 4 sq in roughly or for each 2x2 section, running on a 700mA non-dimmable driver (meanwell LPC-35-700). The blue pulls much higher voltage drop than the reds so this might be why I needed to diffuse it. Might consider just diffusing the whole array so that it can be closer too.

    I get good growth on my 6x6 with 4 reds and 1 blue and I am about 3" away. I have them in a square pattern with the blue in the middle with 120 degree lens's on the bottom two so the light does not flood into the bottom. The LED's themselves are labeled as 120 degrees but the lens makes a difference for some reason, maybe because it gets the focal point out an extra 1/2"-ish or so??

    Hey Floyd did you see the pics I posted with the dual chip red?

    I have had my LED's running for 2 weeks now and no green growth yet.

    I have a 7x7 screen with 6 x 660 reds in a circle and a blue 455 in the centre. 1 each of this setup on each side of the screen 2" away. Does this sound about right?
