Well I just received my LEDs and drivers not expected that early at all thinking couple more week...well I might start the array build this week end ...I took few photos of the LEDs, drivers, and heat sinks with the fans.I will have better shots in the next couple days. And tomorrow my dry rock would have been 10 days running in the tank...water testing time tomorrow and will post the results. You should be able to see the lenses yes they are still in the wrappers. LEDs 6 X 445nm and 4 X hybrids 10 dimmable drivers 10 copper as I know better than aluminum I tested in the past.     |

Last night I was suppose to get some water tested but that didn't go so well especially when all the LEDs sitting there in front of me
 staring at me...well didn't take long to decide to put one emitter together and test it...love it and for having all 10 over my tank, I think it's going to be plenty...yes I know photos ...they are coming...I will take specific photos of the LED building today as I plan on building 6 arrays. plus I need to get water tested today ...will keep you posted.. by the way I moved my clown fish into the tank a couple days ago and he is loving but seems lost between all that rock in the tank.I think I will move couple more fish tonight. |

Here is what I accomplished late last night...
Drilling the holes needed on the LED emitters and the heatsink then placing the LEDs on then the lenses goes on.. Placing scotch tape on the face of the LEDs keeping the emitters from finger marks and dust as I learned i n the past how to kill the LEDs  Not sure why the lighter was in that picture  On to drilling 2 holes in each LED using a press drill  Now placing the LED on the heatsink to mark for drilling into the heatsink.  Now marking it   Into the drill press...was painful and frustrating doing all those heatsinks one at a time but had to finish  And voila  Chine clean the heat sinks and the back of the LEDs for assembly...  Excuse me as I cannot remenber the name of this electronic piece ...I will just call it temperature set breaker for now,its purpose is to break the circuit between the driver and the LED to save it as if by any chance the fan on the heatsink fails.Hope that made sense..  The above part will be soldered to the + side of the LED. below is the soldered - side of the LED  There you see it soldered to the + LED side with the shrink tape waiting to slip through  I left out some micro detailed information if anyone is interested please let me know and I will be happy to get into specific details... Tonight I will glue the lenses on and put the fans in place and possibly wire some of the LEDs and test over the tank.. |
