INTERESTING link not using drivers much cheaper way 2 do led?

Driverless led setups led the way to ones with drivers. Safer and more consistent setups.


It y'all go with Cree leds I recommend http://www.etgtech.com/. No matter who you purchase through try to get led specs and what "bin" you will receive. Different bins have a different color and power outputs.

I think you are talking about Wingo LED. He is an interesting guy. Look on the Manhattan reefers site to get his contact info.

Got the text today.. yep that's the guy

 

[The_Codfather]

Just got a price from Wingo for my 92 gl corner bow front.. 200watt LED lights.. $1000

 

[Mbodell]

he's not cheap. he will sell you the stuff to diy, but it would be cheaper to buy the parts online.

 

[SWITCH420]

from what i seen u could prob.make 1 for around 500-600 give or take

 

[The_Codfather]

But now i know how many watts of LED's I need now

If they would make a 200watt+ light I would think about it.. 160watt is as high as they go right now

[The_Codfather]

[rafal07013]

Make?

 

[mnat]

I think he was asking who makes it, which I am also curious of as well because it sounds like it can do just about anything. Does it play lullbies to the fish to help them fall asleep as well? ;D
