A start. Bulbophyllum dolichoglottis, contortisepalum (yellow), denophyllum. Built LED fixture with 6 Cree XPG emitters run at 1 amp a piece.

To give proper credit: the first time I saw this concept was Mikael and Linda Karlbom's Nano-Viv set ups, where Swedish municipal terra cotta sections were used. As far as LEDs go, I maintain the claim that I was the first verifiable person using high power LEDs in the online orchid community.
 
Great little setup! :clap:

When did you start using them?
 
Chris, you do come up with some interesting ideas. I'm
currently looking at LED options for my greenhouse. There
are quite a few orchids that grow well mounted on clay
pots, mostly Phals. You're a Bulbo man, right?
 
Nice, the repurposed lab equipment add an interesting touch. You are driving XP-G pretty hard, is the passive cooling enough with the heatsink?

Yep. These have been on the same sink with the same emitters and driver for 5 years or so. They get hot to touch, but they don't burn out.

I've been running high output LEDs since the XP-G whites became widely available in the latter half of 2010.

Do you mean if I buy new tyres I can claim to be the first to drive with wheels?
