i want to make my own lights for my tank where can i get good supplys to do so
how do i make sure i do not have to many lights on a dimmer
My stuff is from l e d group b u y.com, why doesn't RC like that web address?
I just wish the DIY-ish leds would start making rectified AC switching led drivers so i don't have to try and make my own... I mean i understand its nice selling of LDD700s by the fistful and boards for them to sit on, then power supplies on top of that, but a board that just plugs in to the wall with 4-5 channels would be lovely.
Those are neat and all, but still require DC supplies. Oreo's link was like what i am planning (really slowly working on). There is no need for a DC supply with power straight from the AC socket and modern switching drivers. The biggest issue with them is probably the chance that you can notice the ripple of the 0 volt period in the source.
Haven't found anything quite as nice sounding to me as the AL9902 for the driver in my recent searches. Its just that the inductor math actually requires me to settle on the strings and such, choose frequencies etc... Commitment is hard.
