I will be building a fixture with the LEDs in very tight clusters, and I am looking for some ideas as far as soldering and light spread. There will be different types of LEDs in the cluster, thanks to all those who post ideas!

I don't think I have a picture of mine, but I did mine in clusters of 3 (2 RB to 1 white). They were spaced as close as I could while still being able to fit on the optics.

I'm doing the same anemonekeeper. I have my kit sitting waiting for me to get some local supplies and time to set it up. I know my layout but I too want to see some pictures of clusters soldered and laid out for some better insight on how they did it. I'm mainly worried about how far apart they need to be to be able to fit the wires lol
Bump it up :)

I took an older xpe fixture apart for a mock up, so far I am happy with them all touching in close row patterns.
