225 Gallon DIY LED BUILD Tank Shots with New True Violet Modification.

So I finally got my 200 Watt TRP Drivers (sort of TRP). Freaking thing was going to take TRP about 7 weeks to get but this guy I met online got them to me in less than 2 weeks. All the way from China. He went Directly to the Manufacturer. I am just waiting on the heatsink which I will pick up end of the month.

I also got an acrylic sheet for potting my LEDs. I was going to use G11 but can't find it. So acrylic will work the same. I will keep you guys posted. Also I might be able to get more of the TRP Drivers if anyone is interested. I'm not sure if this guy will order more or I was the last one. Let me know

thanks

I just powered one on and They are so bright I might have to down size the Design. LOL

I attached 2 X AA batteries in series and attached it to a RB LED and WOW. I got dizzy so did my wife and I only looked at it for 4 secs. It's extremely bright and might have to downsize. We will see.

Also If anyone is interested in LED Drivers let me know he will see what is in stock and let me know when the next order is.

thanks

Okay so I finally got all my heatsinks with the holes drilled. I will post a photo. Got a CNC milling machine to drill me about 1200 holes.(Really $$$) LOL pricey but looks clean and professional. I was lucky enough to find me a place to do the CNC machining in Winnipeg while on vacation.

I also got my SS self tapping screws and plastic washers.

Okay the photo is of one Heatsink drilled and the other is all 4 connected before the holes where drilled.

I will try to find time the next 2 weeks to start and build everything. Really busy with work now so we will see when I get started.

Thanks
Erick

who is the guy getting you the drivers? Is he getting them from Inventronics? TRP is the worst company to deal with. They kept leading us on for 3months to setup a partner ship to sell their products, finally they got us ahold of some guy in the states that tried to sell me business marketing subscription instead of drivers. It was probably the worst experience ive had with a vendor and in my business I deal with tons of vendors.
