• Use recent LEDs to build efficient Lamps (almost no heat) at cheap price ~40eu
• Those lamps are suitable for humans, artists, animals and plants.

Last LED are very efficient, they produce low heat and a lot of light : 180lm/w
Last LED are cheap so we can run a lot of them at lower current.
Here we could use 3 board instead of 6 but current would be higher = more heat.
LED Efficiency improve over time, those product will soon be outdated, so use them right after purchase.

Driver voltage is 7 - 22v, it is constant current delivering 1820ma.
Led boards are wired in parallel so the current is divided :

• 1820 / 6 = 303 ma lower heat
• 1820 / 3 = 606 ma max is 700ma so dont try 2

Led boards run at 19.5v and produce 1230lm @ 350ma max 700ma
We use 5000k for vegetative growth.

Dimming need a 0 to 10v current. So you need :

• an AC to DC 220 to 12v power supply
• A buck converter with potentiometer or a voltage divided

For horticulture usage, plants need wind, so you ll need :

• a 12v fan, can be 12 or 10 or 8 cm
• a power supply (same as dimmer)
• A Buck converter with potentiometer (must handle the current of you fan )

Beer kegs are cost less when you know the good places.

Adding an Arduino or ESP32 will allow to :

• have temp and hum sensors, mqtt and charts
• have day/night cycle with a relay and an RTC module
• Dim light power using a photo resistance and a pwm to dc module

This require a DC 12to5v converter
