I was thinking of using 2-13 watt cfl "daylight bulbs" on a 6x8 scrubber to start and then switching over to an LED array at around 3k. I think I will use 1/2 watt or 1 watt, as opposed to 3 watt LED's. My reasoning is I can get a broader light spread with more of the lower wattage diodes then I can with a couple of 3 watt Led's, at such a close distance.
I was wondering if anyone has done this. I would like to know how many red/white diodes would I need to get 3k. I would like to know a little more about drivers and power supplies as well.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
