LED backplane grilling?
... and a dream :bum:
thats going to be a very interesting build, nice job so far
i am tagging along.
so true, its so fantastic when finally everything comes together and works as expected... i was sitting hours in front of my own ( and very first) LED project during the test phase, watching the clouds animation going and going

I checked out your led build its great ...any thoughts on mine ?? any regrets on yours ...I love the real time on you fixture from the Cayman islands I want to do the same with mine ..when I get there I will need a coach for sure..how many diodes do you think you would have needed with out optics?? and spread ??
As you want spread AND penetration i would suggest to use both, multichips with optics ( 90 degrees ) and chips withou optics for spread. Because i was missing spread on my fixture i added those 10 watt chips without optics on the sides. That was really a good thing, now i am very lucky. If i build such a fixture again, i would mix those chips all over the board so there is a chip without optics sitting next to a chip with optics. I think a 50/50 combination of the chips would be cool. I am still thinking about the addition of adressable LED RGB strips to create even more spread and to add some warmer colors. For special LEDs ( uv for example) i would always choose to use no optics.

ok..I got some time to work on the led fixture..the first pic is the back after it was all welded it still needs the flow diverters fit and welded, but material not here yet..the second is the diode side it was warped from welding so I sanded it flat again so it can be put back into welding gig (good thing the .25 plate)
