To a degree I find it rather hard to believe it can be done for under $300.00......What type LEDs and drivers are we talking......
Perhaps if you already have a lot of the supplies on hand it's possible to build a bare bones fixture with some bridgelux leds. Heck I spent over $500 to build my scrubber lights and that's only 36 cree's and two drivers. But again, I wanted ramp up and ramp down capabilities with programmable timing. That along with the acrylic case and flat screen t.v. mounts that I used to mount them drove the cost up quite a bit. Otherwise it would have been around $300 or a little over that.
