Since I bought them, about 4-5 months now. 1.2 watts per LED it is. |

Excellent! I'm still surprised, but I guess that you are putting LEDs close enough (maybe with a focused lens?) to the plants, so they may be getting enough light. I hope they will keep growing. Are you using a mixture of warm white (around 2800K) + cool white (5000K) LEDs? |

Yes, about 25 cm right above each of them and with lens. Using just one color temp. I think about 6000K-6500K.

I'm really interested by this. Do you just stack them on top of each other with thermal grease? Is it that simple? |

I'm wondering if by any chance you would have an update for us? I'm very interested in the peltier units and how they have worked out for you.
