DIY LED Help!

Wanting to make a Led fixture that mounts on my Aqueon Evolve 8 I'm wanting something with 6-9 3w leds. With dimmers under $80 if anyone has ideas or a list of items I can buy to make it please let me know!

 

PS. Could not find anything in the forums I was wanting.

Not sure about under $80, but you could get on Steve's leds and order 7 leds of your color preference ($25 ish , a single driver (15), and get a power supply from amazon and heat sink from Steve's or heatsinkusa and you are probably about as cheap as you can get. You wouldn't be able to change the color temp, but Steve's drivers are dimmable and come with a potentiometer. You could get a double for $30 and the have more control. Also, I say 7 because that is the max one of his drivers will run. They are also probably the cheapest dimmable driver for small applications like yours. You could get a mean well nano like at rapidled for 30 with the potentiometer which will run more leds, but that is unnecessary in your case.
