If you know a little about electronics you won't have a problem. As for plans, I just read and asked questions on a different forum (RIU) and I figured out how to mount the panel from building them one at a time. I have made 5 so far and gonna build 3 more. I'll post a thread on my next build.
That kicks ass. Have you hung it in a grow space yet? I would like to know how it performs, as that is actually a lot of wattage. I'm curious about temps, and how it might compare to mh/hps. Will you be doing a comparison of some sort?
Looks like a nice start. I am also interested in building a DIY LED panel. I took a hiatus from gardening up until recently and stopped reading up on DIY LED panels, so I'm back in the research phase as of last week. Keep working at it and let us know your progress!
I built one. It's way smaller, it uses 3 cxb3070's in 3000k run on a meanwell HLG-185H-C1050B. It's air cooled and ran low on power so I don't have heat issues. Have to sodder the potentiometer up.
