Javier's LED Build

[JavyJaverson]

Hello all, i just want to show you guys some pictures of the light i put together. I refrained from writing DIY in the title of this thread because i didn't do the whole thing myself, i had help from my good friends Alan (reef creation) and Edwin (ego). Anyway, enough chat, here's some specs

50 leds from Rapid LED (8 NW, 8 CW, 8 B, 26 RB)
2 Heat sinks from Heat Sink USA (13"x6")
4 Mean well 60-48d Dimmable Drivers
Aluminum encasement provided by Edwin

On to the pictures:

LEDS glued down and wired, took forever and came out looking like a maze:

Alan made sense of all this:

Edwin with the crazy skills made this perfectly:

Took a while to put this together put got it done:

Here it is with the drivers attached:

And with the rapid led potentiometer:

With the heat sinks screwed in:

back side without the fans:

different views:

after taking it apart and adding the fans:

And Let there be light!!

Thanx for looking

looks good, only thing you might have done to the box was added some vents on the front and back where the heat sinks are for the air to blow out of,

Damn that's a sweet build, Javy! How does the tank look with it?

i thought about that after it was done, thankfully after i screwed in the fans i noticed that air got through very well through the small space around the heat sinks. It stays really cool according to my finger

very clean build!

 

[Reefs Creation]

Awesome design, Javy. I like how you design everything especially with all the drivers inside the fixture, and have the least amount of wires coming out. The aluminum case by Edwin is impressive.

thanks jonny, and Yea Alan i definitely did not want anything cluttering up the already cluttered up mess behind my tank. Hopefully you can swing by and use ur camera skills to take some awesome pics for my tank thread.
