FS: 48" High Power Cree LED Light Array
 
Divorcing, moving and downsizing so I'll be parting out my 75 gallon starting with my DIY LED fixture. This thing puts out tons of PAR and is very well made. See my original build thread here:

The only thing that need completing is cleaning up the controller which works but is still bare electronics and tweaking the programming which wouldn't be hard for anyone familiar with the Arduino.

Asking $1500 for it which is basically my material costs and doesn't take any of the build time into consideration.

Free bump, I've been following his LED build and he's done a VERY nice job. Doesn't look like DIY, looks better than lots of $3K+ fixtures that size.

And if anyone needs a hand setting up the controller after buying this let me know, i've done some work with arduino's (building a DIY tank controller right now) and could probably lend a hand.

soem specs, for those of us who really dont care to muscle through the whole build thread might help this sale...

Sorry, posted in wrong thread :lol:

Sorry, been in the middle of packing/moving and sorting out life. The readers digest version is:

80 Cree XR-E emitters, 40 cool white and 40 royal blue driven by Meanwell ELN-48P dimmable drivers at just under 1000mA using 60 degree optics. I also added a few bare green emitters for colour rather then PAR. Super beefy overkill heatsinks (the fixture probably weighs about 50 pounds) and three low RPM fans keep them very cool for long life. Arduino based controller for dimming, sunrise sunsets etc.

With the fixture mounted about 10 inches above the water I was getting well over 500 PAR 10 inches into the water so plenty of light to support SPS etc. Nice shimmer like MH and no heat emitted into the tank. My temps stayed within half a degree of 78 all the time.

I have seen them and they are a great set up does not look home made at all

Ron99 01-28-2011 08:10 PM

Bumo. Need this gone. How about $1400? It's a steal at that price. Higher PAR and better coverage then a Vertex at less than half the price...

LED light fixture
 
+1+ on Bowkry's reply. I've seen them too and was drooling over them!!! If I had the money, I would buy it in a heart beat!

Ron99 02-14-2011 08:40 PM

Bump. Nobody wants this for $1400? If I can't get that much I'm keeping it for future use.
