Built a very low budget DIY light a few years ago with mostly Cree led stars (except for some UV ones) using an arduino with a modified Typhon code to control Meanwell LDDs via PWM. Using a simple piece of U-channel aluminum about 3.5" wide as a heat sink with a scavenged computer fan above for cooling. Also used a bent electrical conduit as a mount(hard mounted to U-channel) for the light which help as an extension of the heat sink. I have a Raspberry Pi Zero W and I am looking to build a Reef-PI as soon as I get my 3d printer working again to make a case.
