(Bio)³ Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 are you talking about the mounting brackets that come in the box? I think its like 1/4 inch hole or something. or are you talking about the rail slot you put the mounting brackets in? I dunno any screw that would fit that right.

Funkness Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 the rail you fit the backets in i will be mounting this light in my cano and would love to be able to just find a screw with a correct size get to just slide in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuildMyLED Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I will post some mounting options for you later today. Until then, you can see how this customer created a mounting system for $1.50. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=314394 Also, remember to properly vent your canopy. Our fixtures rely on natural convection to transfer heat away from the LED junction. In an enclosed spaced, you would create an oven that would expedite the flux depreciation process. The cooler the ambient temperature...your LEDs will produce more light and they will have a longer useful life. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SChrisEV Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 My light is in, and on the tank. This does not go well with the title "vho vs build my led" because I do not have VHO. I have a 36" PC fixture, Half 10000K / Half Actinic 460nm. The fixture is old, but the bulbs do not have many hours on them. My camera is not doing justice to the actual light output at all. So much so that I almost don't want to post these. But here goes: Just the Power Compacts: Just the BuildMy LED: Now both lights on at the same time: In person there is a HUGH difference, the BuildMy LED light is much much brighter. My PC fixture has no red or green so it is no surprising to me that you see some more red in the pics. From what I can tell so far I am very happy with them. Now to get some stuff in the tank!

BuildMyLED Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 It is REALLY hard to capture lighting quality on camera. We just filmed a product video at Aquadome yesterday, and I am really hoping the camera communicates the difference we made on their 120g show tank. Video will be done soon :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
