Here is the 10ftr on the stand and ready

My DIY skimmer running on the side system after a detailed cleaning waiting for the 10 ftr

Photos of my LEDs build.

Fans and heat sinks that I am using

And now the drivers,LED lens and the emitters

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.

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...

xcuse 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

Until tomorrow with more
