![]() Well I did some inital testing last night and took some pics..
I am using three 470nm blue LEDs for now untill I get my order from the US. set up on bread board ![]() Pic from the side ![]() Pic looking down to show the brightness ![]() the next two pics didn;t realy turn out good, I will post them anyways but they look a lit darker than they realy are.. I will get better pics tonight to show what I mean ![]() ![]() it is hard to see in thoes two last pic but the 3 LEDs actualy did a good job of lighting up the tank and even made the corals flouress a fair amount.. so tonight I will set my white ballance and try to capture some pics that show the real look of the tank. Steve

![]() very cool, I'm interested in the balanced photos.... Perhaps a row of a dozen or two so across the tank would all but replace actinics and cost almost nothing to run.

![]() Ok, so I got the pics done tonight that show the actual look of the tank.
I also got one of a red mushroom to show how it glows under the 470nm lights.. it is fuzy but it gives you a idea. in the first two pics you can see the green glowing on the mushroom, it actualy glows pretty hard but due to the movement the close up pics I got were just totaly horable. ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() Hey steve,
I picked up a Luxeon 1 watt LED at Active in Vancouver for $17.00. The thing is blinding. Their catalogs lists them for over $20. Thought you might be interested. |
