led array layout ?

My leds arrived yesterday and I have been working on laying them out to get a good even spread.

I went basicly 2:1 Royal Blue to white, but I swapped out a few of each for some violet UV.

Final numbers are 44 Royal Blue, 14 10000K white, 8 6500K white and 6 420 Violet UV

In the below pic Blue Chips are the royal blue, red are the violet, yellow 6500K and White 10000K.

Any suggestions ?

 

looks good to me!

 

You might want to spread the whites amongst the blues a little more to get a better blend of color.

Here's mine to give you an idea, my color blend is excellent

Yeah, I agree. Break up those blocks of blues by moving your whites around some.

 

So it looks to me like you have your whites and blues laid out in rows if each, like a 4 buld t5 fixture, is that correct?

I was thinking i needed to mix the bulbs up per row to blend the colors.

 

I guess you could say that it's somewhat like that, never really thought about it. You deffinately want to break up the blues some more to help them blend with the whites better. You could tryout a layout with all whites, uv & a few blues on the outside rows & the rest of the blues in on the inside rows.

Are you planning on using optics?

 

I would v the UVs to get better coverage
