Cree XP-G3 / XP-E diy mono diode panel

Hey y'all !

Officially obsessed with led.. Got an Eshine 200x3w 11 spectrum panel about a year ago and it blew my freaking mind. Eshine diamond panels are the exact same as Advanced platinum led p600, Lush led dominator 2x, minus the re-branded stickers, paint.

Anyway, just got 2 of the Starlite 320w super cobs which are badass, so now I wanna do up some diy panels.

I think the cobs + discrete diodes in specific spectrums are smart. Royal blue 450nm, Red 625, Photo Red 660, Far Red 730.

Cree just released the XP-G3 mono full spectrum white 2700k - 6500k, 190 LM/W, 777 lumen ea, 6w max, 2000ma max.

They also have the XP-E2, which have a 5w royal blue, green and red @ 3w 1000ma max. Those would help boost key spectrum areas.

The most interesting is the XP-E 3w, photo red 660nm + far red 730nm. Led nerds have been buzzing about the Emerson Effect, this spectrum combo shortly before and after lights off because it helps put the plants to sleep faster.

Yea I'm sure many will say just run some cobs, but ide like having a 500w dimmable panel with 300w G3 full spectrum split between (3000-4000-5000-6000K), 75w royal blue, 75w red, 50w photo red / far red (for lights off).

I have several questions on drivers since some chips are 6w, 5w, 3w. And obviously the far reds need to be on its own circuit / timer.

Just planning it out, I'll be using the best materials, meanwell, heatsink usa.
