Re: Bizzle's led build. in real time

thats what I was thinking...it will definitely add heat and there isnt much advantage to doing it like this IMO.  That is a big U channel so maybe it will be ok..

Re: Bizzle's led build. in real time

We went with 2.5" x 1" u channel for this build at 1/8" thick. Hoping it will help with the heat issues I had as I went with galvanized steel and it's very thin. I also increased the spacing on the LEDs and the length of the u channel in hopes to provide more surface area for heat to dissipate. If not, nothing a small dc fan won't fix.  We finished one strip tonight. I like taking my time and making sure everything is neat as possible. Tomorrow the other strip will be done and on to mounting over the tank
