Thanks for nice comment~~ lol
 
So, how many hours to solder that so far?

it looks amazing. It is still bright even at the distance to the ceiling. I would like to see one at the distance it will be hung to the corals to check for spotlighting.

soldering .. almost done~~~~ waiting for PAR meter..
soldering was easy part... hard part was cutting and strip wire.
 
is that led panel you are working on big enough to cover the entire tank,or is that just for one half of the tank?either way it is looking good.can i ask why you chose the 40 degree optics?when i was researching my led setup,the manufacturer of my LED kit did optics tests and got the highest PAR from the 70 degree optics.so i went with 70 degree optics since i do plan on having some SPS in my tank.oh and maybe i missed it in the thread but are you going to fan cool the aluminum beams you mounted your LED's too?
 
I left Jae's house about 5:30 pm , and he has just a little more to do . He should be hanging the fixtures Tomorrow . He has been doing a fantastic job . The fixtures look great , very bright , and very little heat . The channel just feels a little warm to the touch , and that is with no fan .
 
I finished gluing my leds tonight and will begin wiring and soldering 2 separate displays with 88- 3 watt leds tomorrow. All of our leds have 60 degree optics not 40 degree.

not 40 degree. 60 degree, no need fan too cool , but I have a ceiling fan
 
Jae , That looks Awesome . Now That you have all the fixtures over your tank , it looks really bright . The color tempture looks super , as well .

You need to start threads on the DIY forum , and the lighting forum .
 
did you spray something on the exposed wires to protect them? When are you gettingsome PAR readings. What type of lighting did you have before and how do the LEDs compare?
