M@rine_lover Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 Picture taken under this LED lighting...due to lousy camera and phototaking skill, I'm not able to get actual colour of the corals which is richer than this... !

Dave_uk Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Did you add heatsinks in the end? Link to comment
madadi Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 im currious where you got the UV leds so cheap. thanks Link to comment
M@rine_lover Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Did you add heatsinks in the end? Nope...as the temperature is still fall within the LED spec ! im currious where you got the UV leds so cheap. thanks Bought online..Kaidomain.com. It's a low intensity UV-A LED ! Link to comment

sialkoti Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 lovely.............LEDs are working great arn't they Link to comment
stallen Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Is this the UV LED you used? http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductID=1690 Does anyone know if Cree makes a UV LED (~390-420nm)? Link to comment
evilc66 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Cree used to make a UV LED in the XC series, but it has been discontinued for a long time now. Link to comment
stallen Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Cree used to make a UV LED in the XC series, but it has been discontinued for a long time now. Are the Cree LEDs made by Edison Opto Linear_Edixeon? It seems nanotuners is expecting to get a UV LED from them: http://www.nanotuners.com/product_info.php...products_id=611 (sorry, M@rine_lover, I don't wanna hijack your thread... super nice build BTW) Link to comment
evilc66 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Edison uses Cree dies in some but not all of their products. The series of LEDs that Nanocustoms is using right now is using the same Cree die as the XR-E series, but isn't quite as high output as a Q4/Q5/R2. The UV LEDs that they offer are not Crees, and are typically only 1W models unfortunately (there are a few 3W versions). The description on the website is generic to the LED strips, and not specific to the UV option. Link to comment
zingtaw Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Very interesting, do you have detailed plans for the acrylic pieces, with dimensions? Also where did you get the rails used in the acrylic box? Thanks in advance. Link to comment
M@rine_lover Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 X'mas coming.....And it's time to upgrading ! Ok..I'm currently look into upgrading the 6 pcs of SSC P4 Pure White to SSC P7 Pure White in my LED lighting. And I'm expecting to increase 45w and Luminous Flux by 4200ml or more. SSC P7 Pure White C bin Watt : 12W, Forward Current : 2.8A Forward Voltage : 3.6~4.2V Luminous Flux : 700~800ml, Here is my layout. The yellow box with P7 labelled are those that I will change from P4 to P7. I may add Fin heatsink on top of my current Aluminum plate if the temperature increase till out of the manufacturer spec .

evilc66 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'll almost guarantee that you will need to add more for heatsinking. That's a pretty healthy increase in wattage. Why not go with the Cree MC-E? As you can wire that one in series, it make driver selection easier. Same output near enough. Damn near the same LED (uses same dies). Link to comment

As CREE MC-E and SSC P7 is using the same die so price really important now . I choose P7 b'cos I'm able to get it at a cheaper price in my country. I have couple of ELN-60-27 Meanwell PS spare so will be using it to connect 6 in a series . Link to comment
WmTasker Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 M@rine_lover ... do you have a link to where you got the Adhesive tape for Star MCB, Bond-Ply? Why did you use this instead of metal Screws? Do they hold up with the heat? Do they transfer heat to the aluminum easily? Sorry for so many questions. Thanks for you time and answers.

Why did you use this instead of metal Screws? Do they hold up with the heat? Do they transfer heat to the aluminum easily? Sorry for so many questions. Thanks for you time and answers. Billy Hi Billy, Bond-Ply 100 is a thermally conductive and electrically isolating, pressure sensitive adhesive material that facilitates the decoupling of materials with mismatched thermal coefficients of expansion. The double-sided adhesive coating with its high bond strength that immediately bonds to the target surface, together with excellent wet-out and high thermal performance, make this material ideally suited to use as a replacement for heat-cure adhesive and screw- or clip-mounting solutions You can get it from rapidonline IMHO, It's a very good product and I will never go back to screw again when come to heatsinking project !

M@rine_lover Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 ooh...I have totally forgotten the color temp shift more towards BLV10K and lower if I replaced the 6x 3W to 12W LEDs ! Luckily, my friend has reminded me before I make this mistake . My immediate remedy is to order additional 5x 3 Cree XPE royal blue in one round board from cutter and expect to bring the color temp close to 12~14kk which is 40/60 configuration ratio of White again Blue . Currently, I'm still waiting for the 5 pieces of Cree XPE to be delivered . Link to comment
MOJOEJOEJOE Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I love your idea for a heatsink. I might do something like that as well and add a thermal fuse in line with the led`s to help in the event that one of my fans cut out.I was also thinking about using a couple of T.E coolers to help cool an aluminium stock heat sink. Nothing wrong with redundancy. I use the same thermal fluke meter at work for alot of my evaluations and it is verry accurate. Your fixture might be the best and cleanest fixture that I have seen so far. You are an LED god lol Great work!!!!! Link to comment
WmTasker Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Has anyone seen these high power LEDs? The company has 20, 30 and 50 watts. http://www.hyledchina.com/High-Power-LED/5...-Power-LED.html Link to comment
