Okay, I'm starting a little project for an led lightning for my 10 gallon. I've decided that I'm going to use cree xre r2 or q5's, and that I'm going to try to make the drivers myself. I'm going to use some sort of a charger for my power supply, except I'm not sure what kind yet. I have 3 options (I think) I can use a 12v, a 20v or a 24v. Right now I'm leaning towards the 12v, as it seems more flexible. I'm also wondering how many I should do. Right now the number is somewhere between 6 and 10, and I think 10 might be overkill. A q5 at 107lm-228lm depending on amperage, and the r2 is supposedly stronger, but there's not really much documentation online. I'm also not sure about which color (warm neutral or cool white) as most of the online guides are for saltwater, and I think they usually go for cool white. I think cool white is like 6000k, and warm white is somewhere in the 3500k's.
I'm also wondering if some electrician can help me interpret this diagram. Please and thank you!
