Abel i might be in next week for some of the leds just keep us posted on when you intend to do this so i can figure things out.

Jose

 

[skunkmere]

sounds good Jose

 

[joebo1717]

shoot me a pm b4 you order. i'm in or some led's. probably a dozen whites and blues but i can give u an exact count b4 u order

 

[skunkmere]

send me what you want and ill confirm before i order so i have a idea and to put a place holder in my spreadsheet.

 

[skunkmere]

ok guys update me what you want if you didnt send me a pm.

 

[dohc97]

Abel ill be in for 24 leds and optics to go with.

16 royal blues
8 10k whites

Let me know total and if that order is ok

 

[skunkmere]

got it. once i get the order ill ask for a quote and hopefully a price drop.

So is anyone else from the burbs doing this near Streamwood? Only needing 12 LEDs and maybe lenses just to have, the cost isn't there to justify the trip to pick up such a small qty myself at the current cost of gas. If someone near me is doing this for a large tank, could you please add 7 LEDs of each (so I have a spare of each color) and 12 lenses to your order? I'll get you the money when it's time to pay and pick em up at your convenience once you get the order.

 

[skunkmere]

i was just told by Blackhawk that 80 optics are also availably from fedy. so tell me if you guys want some in your order. im getting some myself.

 

[dohc97]

any idea on when this might be going down?

 

[dohc97]

Abel are you going to try the home depot c-channel? i just looked it up on the website and a 3/4" wide 8 foot section is only 11 dollars, is this one too flimsy?

 

[skunkmere]

im gonna email for a quote tomorrow night, so if you want some leds or want to change your order pm me. Mai used 3/4" c channel and it worked out for him so im gonna try it too if nothing is better for the price.

 

[dohc97]

i dont think we will find a cheaper price on c-channel, i want to give this a try before i take a full on plunge. Hopefully my house offer goes thru and i can then start planning my 6 foot tank and a huge led build. i will probably buy my c-channel tomorrow and ill see where to get the driver i want. thanks for putting this together

 

[skunkmere]

sure, i was going to buy a bunch of those and attach them somehow to each other the whole width of my tank and the bow area. maybe ill use that heat sink epoxy or i got a buddy with a tig welder maybe i could use that.

 

[dohc97]

tig welder sounds cool, wish i knew how to use one. Im barely able to weld normal steel and i would never trust myself to build something load bearing.

 

[skunkmere]

i found the 3/4" c channel @ menards on north ave for $8 for 8ft.

 

[BADGUS]

Tig is an art,not easy to do,i've been tig welding for 6years and am finally confident to be proud of my skills.

 

[skunkmere]

i dont think there will be much weight to it im mounting my drivers somewhere else not on top of the light. I dont know why people mount their drivers on their heat sink, wouldnt that add unnecessary heat and weight and not look as nice.

 

[skunkmere]

quote requested.

Skunkmere, people put the drivers on the top because it's open air, so it's make both fixture and drivers more cool. If you put some where else, they need a cooler place or a fan. The driver is get hot in the summer. Make them cool so they will get more life.
