I am currently running 3x100w multichip and 18x3w NW, and 36x3w RB's on my 180 right now. It works amazing. Looking to upgrade my manual dimming to a switched manual/auto in the future. THis way I have the luxuries of a controller but the ability to manually control if necessary with the flick of a switch.

how much did that cost to build??

 

[tat2z_21]

150 dollars with supplies, driver and LED. The other LEDs obviously cost more but that 100w puts out some serious light, Though they are not as efficient as the 3 watters, they seriously put out some serious light.

Eww has a great light fixture for a 180 or 210. My lighting configuration is a bit different and I will build two more of these 60 bulb fixtures for my 210 when I set it back up.

Of course, I will have to remove the black trim and sync the three of them together.

Hi Trido,

Could you please post details on your fixture frame? It looks *very* good!
Is it wood or metal? How did you build it?
