Group Buy: LEDS - Checking interest

[Blugobi]

Hey True, what size array are you planning to build? for what size tank?

 

[SkiFletch]

I'd be interested, but do we know the voltage for these guys? I'd really like to make my own controller with them, but would need to know the forward voltage. And are we at all sure about the wavelengths and color temps? Don't want to buy something that's affordable, only to find out that it is "cheap" if you know what I mean...

3W LED, VF 3.2-3.6v, IF 700mA, 18000 - 20000 color. The guys in FL who originally bought these tested them and yes they are what they say they are.

Will be around $325 (including 20 extras for expansion or oops) for the LEDs and about $30 in other supplies.
