Dewey's BC14 LED DIY retro

[Mr. Microscope]

The FTS looks clean, but I'm wondering. Are you getting spotlighting and color shadowing from the LEDs being spaced so far apart? Also, what do you think of the overall color? What percentages do you have your LEDs dimmed at when they're all on in the middle of the light cycle?

If you notice, I placed blue and white leds together as pairs. I do not get huge color shadows. But, I can still see thin blue shadows through the thin cracks of the rockwork and little bit on the shimmer on the floor. (BTW, I love the shimmer with LEDs). I did not use any optics. Perhaps adding optics should solve it. I think you will get thicker bands of color shadow if you use whites and blues far apart.

I am okay with the overall color. I would have preferred more pop on reds. I started 35% (mid-day) for first few days and now I am upto 50%. I think color is getting better. I plan to increase it further.
