I just went by the seat of my pant as to layout of the boards but kind of sorta went with what I thought would work good. Hope the shimmer is not going to be crazy & I think with my controller I should be able to hit 10k - 20k & everything in between with some fine tuning.

I really liked how easy it is to work with Modular LED product & Martin himself. I will deffinately be building units for some of my smaller tanks as well down the road.

Cant wait to see them over your tank Greg!

Should be on for sure when your in the hood :biggrin:

Nice! I'm hopingto be there next weekend provided my AI comes in, if not perhaps I'll come still

So I just came across this thread while searching for something else. Excellent read and nice work! Any updates?

The timing is perfect as I am trying to decide between buying an LED fixture or making my own. I am leaning toward building my own because I have to be able to control it with my Profilux and I already have a number of heatsinks.

Now I am just starting to learn how DIY LED fixtures are built, so I may be confused as to how they are controlled with the Profilux. I see you are running 8 different types of LED boards and only 2 EVG boards which will only control 4 channels in total. I know you can run up to 3 drivers per channel, but which leds are you allocating to the different channels? Or am I confused as to what is controlled on a single channel?

Sorry for the late reply Planeguy, it's been a really tough day.

Anyways, I received my last driver on Friday from Martin but had to work all weekend & still need to hook it up. Just about have all the optics on as well.

As for the controlling question, I have my CW & NW HEW on one channel, my RB & B on the second channel, CW - XPG'S on the third channel & my Red / Green on the fourth channel. I can add another EVG board if I decide not to use my dimmable power bar to totally shut down the power on the EVG boards. Each channel is running 2 drivers each.

Led lights
 

I have been following this thread for some time. I would like to come out and see it. Been thinking about switching to Led myself.

Hope to have it on the tank this week end, if you want to stop by and have a look Rzadun shoot me a pm and I will send you directions. The weekend would work the best for me.

Final assembly is now complete. All optics are on everything except the red & green, acrylic covers are cut & in ( hard to see ) & everything is all wired up as neat as possible for the temporary hood. Going to tackle the task of getting it on the tank this weekend & then the fun begins trying to get the Profilux programming figured out.
