mmcguffi Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hi I was wondering if the 2RB, 1NW stars were the exact size of 'normal' LEDs? and that means the are 20mm in diameter right? Am I correct in saying that I could arrange 7 LEDs (of the 2RB,1NW mixed with other 'normal' LEDs) in a cohesive honeycomb pattern? http://www.ledgroupbuy.com/cree-xt-e-royal...te-3-up-2-pack/ e.g. shape also what would be the diameter of this honeycomb? 60mm? that seems awfully small Link to comment

Basically they are a "star" with rounded edges instead of pointy. Link to comment
mmcguffi Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 so the final honeycomb would be on the order of something like 70-80mm? would that cause any problems with overheating if I put them all on a small computer heat sink with a fan on top? eg something like this Link to comment

And the honeycomb layout you have is about 80mm I think. Link to comment

And the honeycomb layout you have is about 80mm I think. awesome, thanks a lot for the input milad how does this layout look? Im planning on 3 separate channels--NW,CW--R,Tq--TV,TV,RB,RB,RB would it be okay to have NW,CW,R,Tq all on one channel? also Im confused--would I have to have 2 or 3 separate divers? what product on your site would I buy? thanks!!

mmcguffi Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 actually this is for a subgallon pico so if you have any less ridiculous overkill ideas Im all ears lol I do want 'perfect' color though. I would rather go overkill than halfass it Link to comment
mmcguffi Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 any thoughts on my setup? Link to comment
Trick Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Looks good, if you need a larger heatsink, frozen cpu has a ton of selection. Also, you may want to upgrade the fan to a larger one that runs slower(quieter). You can get fans that have the same air flow as the little one but also run quieter. Here's the fan adapter: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/6082/duc...an_Adapter.html Link to comment
Milad LEDGroupBuy.com Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 That is going to look really good CW and RB = about 14k 2RB and 1NW = about 14K 660nm, 495nm, 2x420nm is going to get you a nice white color just don't know what the color temp will be Averaging it all out you are going to be close to 14.
