Upgraded the tank so I needed to upgrade my LEDs and look at that, they decided to upgrade themselves from the black to the gold version
Since I never made a build thread here for the original fixture I'm gonna sum it up real quick, some of you may have seen this if you ever visited the KWAS forums.
Here's the original fixture:
*Click on any small image to see a larger version at photobucket
The kit is a 48 LED DIY Dimmable kit with two 6" x 20" black anodized heat sinks from RapidLED.
There is 20 Royal blue, 8 Neutral white, 8 Violet UV, 4 Blue, 4 Deep red and 4 cyan LEDs.
Driver 1: 12 RB @1300 mA
Driver 2: 8 NW + 4 RB @1300 mA
Driver 3: 8 UV + 4 RB @600 mA
Driver 4: 4 B + 4 R + 4 Cyan @600 mA
Single clustersAll on: White: Blue: UV: RGB:
FTS All on: White: Blue: UV: RGB:
*All drivers but blue have more than 1 colour
And a few other shots to suit your fancy:
Now on to the NEW:
For this upgrade I bought the 36 LED DIY Dimmable kit, again from RapidLED.
There is 24 RB, 8 Violet UV and 4 Neutral White LEDs.
Driver 5: 12 RB @1300 mA
Driver 6: 12 RB @1300 mA
Driver 7: 8 UV + 4 NW @600 mA
Blue: Blue again: White and UV:
(I swear I didn't just flip the blue pictures ;D)
Here's what one side of all the new LEDs look like:
And here's 2 pictures will all (new and old) on:
And one with all the wiring and mounted in the canopy:
Ok that's it, I swear, no more pictures today ;D
But don't worry, I'll have some FTS's when I get my tank 'picture ready' soon. >
