Steves LED layout question.

[banthonyb71]

Hello I just recieved a Steve LED retrofit kit for biocube14, 14k full spectrum.

This is my first LED DIY and I had a question that I didnt understand in the instructions.


I have eight Royal Blues, four 4k whites and two cool blues.

Now from what I understand I put all royal blues on one row and put the whites and 2 cool blues on the other row. but how would I layout those cool blues with the whites?

Would it just be one after the other c.b,c.b,w,w,w,w? or w,c.b,w,c.b,w,w?

ODD ...
Seems to be all sorts of variations.
First thing is to have each channel w/ the equal # of diodes.
So how many of each color do you have inc. the rb?
IF 6 rb,4 white and 2 c.b then probably the best is:
w:cb:w:w:cb:w

This shows 7 per channel and 2 variations:
