+o0zarkawater Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Ouch... $200? I thought we were reefing on a budget here with the DIY. Here is my ghetto cannon - 50W Total - 3 x10W 20k White, and 1 x20w Acitnic Blue, Pieced together with a driver on an old CPU heatsink. My cost about $60 with the parts I had laying around, probably $90 if you bought a new fan/heatsink combo. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/51/img9389y.jpg http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/5471/img9390w.jpg I'll be bringing it to the meeting as well.

What LEDs are those? Also what driver? Any dimming capabilities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But mine has a fancy PVC housing and a polycarbonite lens cover! I definitely want to see those 20w LEDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+o0zarkawater Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 What LEDs are those? Also what driver? Any dimming capabilities? They are cheap panels I've found online, I'll post more info on them after the meeting. Mine doesn't have dimming capabilities, but you can get dimmable drivers for them. I really just rigged this up with parts I was going to use for something else, just to bring something different to the meeting. If I was planning on actually using this setup I would do it a little differently. PICS - 28G NanoCube- 150W MH HQI - 14k Bulb Ghettoblaster 50W LED Canon - 30w 20k white 20w 454nm Actinic.
