Re: LEDS SYSTEM BULID TAKE 2
Hi all been away for some time... Anyway iam just starting the build.. I made the frame with 1" angle aluminum sent $10.00 for 8' lenghts.
Cut them to size tap and screwed together and locked washer and covered with liquid plastic...
Will keep you updated
Update.. I may be using a circuit board for the LEDS.
Also may be changing to different setup for the wiring more work then in series.. Reason if one light goes out the whole string does not.. But then you have the issue with the leds glued down.
The Logic
Build for a 160 Gal tank
Each array will be 8.5 x 12 inches heatsink.
Reason for using heatsink is to reduce the heat produced by the LEDS.
Each array will have 4 rows with six leds white,blue, etc.
In each array has 2 sets of 12 Leds will be wired in series e.g. just like a alarm...
I've bee researching LEDS Lighting Systems for a few months.. I'm not happy with what i see. Too expensive and not made well . So i decided to build my own.. Tanks is 160 Gallons.. Building 3 Separate LEDS .. Parts list will follow with Pics and detailed instructions for buildout..
Using 24...
