Thanks for the advice Mike, I guess there may be hot spots on lower rated LEDs leading to possible or frequent led failure?!
Only assuming as I'm not electronics whiz that seeing as how there only 2 wires leading to the array (+/-) and there is only one dimmable driver (also assuming) that they are connected in parallel and as long as the leds are re n re'd in the same led orientation (+/-) that this would be hard to mess up?!

You are right about the algae! In the meantime for the past 2 weeks I have been using 1 of these over my refugium (minus the clouded lens cover) and has been growing algae at a slow and steady pace.

If I make any mods to the light in the future, I'll update this thread

This project is on hold, perhaps indefinitely
