So you want to build your own LED panel...

[Architechno]

If you have been keeping up with the LED lab 2009 (http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=108442) then you know that shit can get a little too technical for some people in there. I, along with a few other members, have expressed interest in learning how to actually build my own custom LED panel, but such information can be a bit tricky to find. Someone else said that if I started the thread, they would contribute, so here we go. Lets see if we can compile a guide on how to do this - I will be happy to edit all the juicy bits into this first message so hopefully many can benefit from this for a long time - as we all know LED's are THE future of growing

So, Knna, Weezard, Billyjojimbo, asa77soul, lay some knowledge on us.... pretty pretty please?

This is what you are looking for, Though it is not for a beginner. The system here is that of a lab and what NASA uses on it's missions , this is using all the latest L.E.D driver technology here are the schematics and instructions just read the whole deal. This was published i think 2005 but the technology ought to be more available and affordable by now.The great thing about this one is that it able to be tuned or dialed in.

awesome
:bowdown:

I will try to get a basic electronics tutorial up so people can learn how circuits work, and stuff like the difference between amps/watts/volts. I want to have a complete guide.

DC Power Supply Designs

DC Power Supply Designs

This DIY DC power supply design is one of my current favorites. It provides current limiting and can be scaled to most efficient voltage as needed. Even includes a PCB layout.

And an easy to understand paper describing the theory and application of AC/DC regulated power supplies.
