LED lighting

[misu]

nm my last questions, I just checked and they posted the tech specs. I'll wire all 6 in series and it looks like they'll put out more lumens if I drive them at 700mA
<span style="color: #706B64"><span style="font-family: Arial">White Cree Q5 XR-E Star Features: 107 lm @ 350mA
1000mA - Max Drive Current
3.3Vf - Typ. Forward Voltage @ 350mA
6500K - Color Temperature
Lambertian Radiation Pattern
</span></span>

Come on man no guts no glory bump then on up to 1000mA! j/k

If someone else wants to try this just found them even cheaper here:

I finally put it together yesterday, that thing is bright even with only 6 leds. Can't really compare it with the stock 150MH but two of these small things may get really close.

I had to add the cooler fan, it was getting almost too hot to touch in 30 minutes or so. Oh and those stars are a pain to solder or I need better tools.

with that said when that stock MH bulb is done I'm thinking about a retrofit
