Default DIY LED plant lights

I have been using fluorescent lights to start my seedlings indoors and started to look for the LED plant lights, but the good ones are still quite expensive. I found 1W blue and red LEDs in the local electronics store and got my DH excited about a new project. First prototype with three blue and three red LEDs is now ready and set-up for testing. If this works we have materials to make three more of these modules to build the whole light fixture.
