Did you go with all cool white XP-Gs? I did and I'm now thinking about switching some of them out for neutral white ones. Actually, doing more than thinking, I already have them but haven't had the time to switch any out.

There soon to come once everything is acclimated.

I went with XR-E Cool white. I am still adding some white XP-G cool or natural I have not decided I may just stay with cool as it has a white look and natural has a yellow look but Ill decide this later. What I will be doing is adding 8 XP-G and maybe 2-4 XP-E red. I love this DIY you can do what ever you want change whatever you want. Not buy one fixture and say.... oh well ill get use to it I am stuck with it anyways...

 

[CJO]

Yep. Me too. I'd hate to be tied down to what a vendor thinks is good.

Ahhhh, I never thought about that. changing the leds to fit the color you want..... +1 for DIY

 

[snoopie]

That was one of my biggest reason... But my main was warranty... I don''t have to barrow or get out old T5's or MH to send out my LED I have extra LEDs here if one goes out I replace the fuse turn down my driver down to 700MA turn them on and see which one is down. Take it off replace it and done fixed... 1 day fix. Also I can change LEDS when needed :)
