Ok everyone, LED group buy time!!

On the chopping block this time around, we have a bunch of goodies at excelent prices.

LEDs
To start, LEDs. I have secured below average prices from ETG for Cree XR-E cool white Q5 (WG bin, 6500K) and royal blue mounted LEDs. The more LEDs we end up ordering, the better price we get. Pricing as follows:

Up to and including 100: $5.85 each ($0.15 off normal price)

101-250: $5.76 each ($0.24 off normal price)

251-350: $5.64 each ($0.36 off normal price)

Beyond 350 ( ) We have to negotiate with ETG.

EDIT: ETG has given up better price due to our volume

350-500: $5.45 ($0.55 off normal price)

500+: $5.25 ($0.75 off normal price)

The final price per LED will be stated at the end of the group buy once all the totals are tallied. Shipping will be $8 flat rate to continental US (PM for other locations). The extra $3 over the USPS flat rate is to cover my Paypal charges on each order and the initial shipping from the distributor. Shipping can be combined with other parts.

Lenses
Cree lenses will also be up for grabs in all angles (80, 60, 40, 25, and 8 degree) for $1 each. Sorry, couldn't get any better price on these, but at least those of you that wouldn't hit the minimum order can order lenses.

Shipping will be $8 flat rate to continental US (PM for other locations). The extra $3 over the USPS flat rate is to cover my Paypal charges on each order and the initial shipping from the distributor. Shipping can be combined with other parts.


Driver
Next up, drivers. I will be able to get Meanwell ELN-60-48P drivers for everyone.

Line voltage input (90-240v AC)
Max 48v output
Constant current 1.3A output (adustable to -25% - +3%)
External pwm current adjustment (15-100%)
IP64 sealed (splash proof)

Datasheet here

This is the most versitile and reliable driver. Running LEDs in series will be the safest setup. You can run in parallel, but certain precautions have to be made for reliability.

Pricing will be as follows:

1-5: $50.47 each
6-10: $35.54 each
11-20: $33.00 each
21-50: $29.75 each

The price that each person who orders these will pay will reflect the total order for the group buy. Final price will be posted once the totals have been tallied. Shipping will be $8 flat rate to continental US (PM for other locations). The extra $3 over the USPS flat rate is to cover my Paypal charges on each order and the initial shipping from the distributor. Shipping can be combined with other parts.


12" LED Fixtures (and retros)
The 12" Current USA LED fixture that I make is up for grabs again. This is one of the best options for high light in small tanks under 12" in length, like the JBJ Picotope.



Details can be found here (this is the link to the last group buy where these were offered). The price will be the same as last time.

Full fixture ready to run: $250 plus $15 shipping anywhere in the continental US (PM for shipping elsewhere)

Retro for single or dual Satellite: $190 plus $15 shipping anywhere in the continental US (PM for shipping elsewhere)

Pico LED lamp
Now for the new stuff. This is a medium base screw in lamp that can fit in any 110v desk lamp or similar. Great for the smaller picos like the popular Current USA Betta Cube, but lacks the adjustability of the bigger fixture.



Details can be found here

These will be offered in a 12K color temperature for $75 shipped, and in a 20K color temperature for $85 shipped.

Sunpod LED Actinics
This is something you guys have been asking for for a long time.



Details for this can be found here

Based on the volume that will be ordered, these will be annodized black when they ship.

Pricing will be:

Single unit: $60 plus $10 flat rate shipping to continental US (PM for other locations)

Dual unit (single power supply): $110 plus $10 flat rate shipping to continental US (PM for other locations)

THE GROUP BUY CLOSES IN EXACTLY TWO WEEKS AT 11:59PM, MAY 3RD. NO EXCEPTIONS. Don't worry, there will be another group buy soon


I think that covers everything. Payment will be accepted by Paypal. I will PM those who order as the group buy closes with the final price as the prices can chage with quantity with some items. Shipping can be combined on multiple parts. I will send final shipping prices with your final order at the end of the group buy.

Please post with your exact order here, and here only. I will not take orders via PM, as my PM inbox gets full and emptied very frequently. Once orders are posted, I will keep a tally of odered parts at the bottom of this post.

please put me down for 4 SUNPOD LED atinic units for 4 seperate fixtures

Erik

Im down for 1 Sunpod LED Actinic. In black anodizing if possible. If you dont end up with enough units ordered I would pay the extra $5 you said it would take to get it done.

Just to clarify, you want four singles?




Looks like we won't have an issue for quantity to get that done.

Name is on the list

Put me down for a 20K Pico LED lamp!

Thanks.

LEDs

Put me down for 6-Cree XR-E cool white (WG bin, 6500K) and 7-royal blue mounted LEDs.

Are these LEDs mounted on a star board?

Done




Yes, 20mm star pcbs.

correct I need 4 units for 4 diffrent sunpod fixtures

Evil I need lenses!!!

I will be ordering:

20 60 degree lenses

10 40 degree lenses

I only need 24 but I want some extra to play around with different configurations. These will fit the Cree XR-E's without glue or anything right? Just snap on?

Put me down for 2 12k Pico lamps please.

Bill

Put me down for 1 of the dual sunpod actinic fixtures with a single power supply. I'd also be interested in the black anodizing even if it means a few bucks more.

1D with dual power supply and black anodized please (as previously discussed). YGPM

put me down for 1S Sunpod LED Actinics.

great job organizing this group buy evilc66 .. been waiting for LED pricing to go down and this definitely helps

looks forward to future group buys

Evil, put me down for 1 single unit sunpod LED actinics as well. You're providing an awesome service to NR -- really appreciate it!

Evil, is it the Meanwell ELN-60-48p or ELN-60-24p that you will be getting?

Put me down for one 20k Pico LED lamp

Thank you,

ditto^^

Put me down for one of the sunpod actinics. Anodized please.

Keith

Hello Evilc66, can you put me down for the FULL 12" LED Fixtures for the 3 gallon Picotope. and 1 Sunpod LED Actinics, Anodized black thanks! Is it possible less or any different in shipping if bought combined? -Dave

Put me down for 2 20K pico lamps.

Hey evil, I would like the 12" Current Fixture. Also, would I be able to get a quote for a 6g NC retro?

Thank you

Edit: Nevermind on the 6g NC retro. The 12" Current Fixture alone would be great. Could I pay extra to get 2 power supplies? In order to do dusk/dawn emulation.

Thank you

put me down for one 12k pico lamp.
when can we expect these to be shipped?
right when the buy period ends? a week after? 2 weeks?
thanks!

I want one of these, the full $250 fixture.

evil, put me down for 2 x Sunpod LED Actinics. I would love to have it in black anodized and since its a pair, the single power supply would be wanted as well! thanks!

That screw-in unit is pretty freaking awesome. Wish I had some use for one, lol.

I putting in standby mi GB for now!!!

Evil, Put me down for one Dual Sunpod Actinics with the black anodized and single power source!!! Thanks!!!

Let me get 7 White led, 8 Blue Led, 24 60 degree optics.

Awesome, put me down for one Sunpod LED Actinic. Can't wait.

Done. They are a tight fit, but a small dab of silicone will make sure they stay put, and still be removable.




Done. Thanks




Done. Black looks like it will be for sure without a price increase.



Gotcha.



On the list.



Done. Thanks very much.




It is the ELN-60-48P. Sorry for the confusion. The original post has been fixed.



Done.




Yessir!

Awesome. You're gonna dig the 12" fixture. I love mine. I'll see what I can do on shipping, but I usually ship the Satellite retro in its original box, so it will be seperate.




Done



Comes with two power supplies now anyway. Last batch all shipped with two power supplies.




Cool. These will probably ship about 2 weeks after the group buy ends. I won't see parts for a week or so after the end of the GB, and work begins as soon as parts hit my doorstep. It may take a little longer just based on the sheer number of orders I'm getting.



Done.



Got you down.




I'm sure you can think of something




Done.



Done.



Done.


Everyone, please review your order at the bottom of the first post to make sure I have it correct. Thanks

I will take a 12" ready-to-run LED fixture. Thanks!

Excellent. Name is on the list

I have been reading about buckpucks for a month but the group buy is using


"Next up, drivers. I will be able to get Meanwell ELN-60-48P drivers for everyone."

How many do we need for 20 LEDs? what is the difference?

The ELN-60-48P can do 13 LEDs at 1A, or 26 (2, 13 LED strings in parallel) LEDs at ~650mA with a current mirror for protection. You would need 4 Buckpucks to handle that many LEDs ($80 plus power supply).

Evil, what are the dimensions on the retro kit? Would it give me good SPS growth in a tank that's 12"x12"x13"D?

Don't see my name listed for the sunpod led mod.

So for 20 LED 10 blue 10 white you would???

Biocube 29gal with only soft corals


Just let me know

" wwevildo"

I am 2x12k please, not 20k.

Thanks,

Bill

I would advise against a single driver for both sets of LEDs you wouldn't be able to adjust the color temp at all if you did that. For a BC29 you should probably be running 24 LEDs then you could house whatever you wanted. Get the buckpucks and spend a little extra and get the pentameters on them. Then you can adjust the color up to 20k or down to 6500k.

put me down for 12 coolwhites and 12 royal blues mounted on the stars

It's in a Single Satellite, so 12"x5.5"x2.5". For a 12" wide tank, it might not work so well. A dual Satellite retro would be better. It will certainly support sps.




Sorry, fixed




Like Waterproof mentioned, 24 LEDs would give better spacing and coverage. You can run this on two Meanwell drivers, or 4 Buckpucks. If all you will ever do is softies, 80 degree optics would be advantageous. If you ever think that you would get into sps or clams, then you will need 60 degree optics.



Fixed. See, this is why I have you check

Giga, got you down.

Actually bump me to 10 white / 10 blue so I have back ups.

Man timing is off.

Also, if I am looking at this right instead of four buck's I can just use two of the meanwell. One for the whites and one for the blues? Does this allow me to still turn on the blues by themselves? If so add me for two of those. If not I just need to get two more bucks I guess then.

Hi evil, do you know the dimensions on the optics? Most importantly the height.

Totals updated for you. The drivers will be totally seperate. You will just need to build two of the pwm circuit that I showed in the Meanwell thread. Hook it to two timers and rock and roll.



23mm diameter, 16mm height from the pcb top surface.

My order Mr. Evil...

(1) Single Sunpod LED Actinic in Black Anodized (for 16.5" Sunpod)
Request Front mounted unit with wiring to be located at left of unit when installed, please

thank you again for all your hard work in making this a reality for those of us that are "technologically" challenged

Thanks, put me down for 25 of the 40 degree optics

You can get 2 meanwells and be able to adjust the blues and whites separately as well as turn them off and on separately.
