jnad Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hello! Looking for a diy led for my 40 gallon tank, anyone tried these 10 w leds? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-10W-Actinic-R...=item19d27e5799 Jnad Link to comment
Degener8 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I replied to your pm. My led is in the mail so once it is here I'll let ya know what I think. Hopefully arrives this week or early next. Link to comment
joeyhatch11 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 What kind of drivers do you run them on? And are 2 of these enough for a 40G tank? I've seen some DIY with the 20w LEDs and they were insane looking. But required large heatsinks and fans to keep them cool. Would love to get some links to some drivers for these bad boys. Are these drivers that can be used for the LEDs? http://www.ebay.com/itm/FREE-SHIP-10W-Watt...=item43b1590ab4 Link to comment
dling Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 You may be able to email the ebay seller abut the driver required to run them. They should have some info about that. Link to comment
pwreef Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 2 of these for a 40 breeder? I don't think so, at least not for corals. I would estimate 8-10 of these at least. Think of it this way. LED Watts = 1/2 MH watts. I know, I know people will bash me for this, but look Radion 120W ~ 250W MH. So with 2 of these you will be at 75W MH. :-) Link to comment
KerryL. Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I replaced my 150W MH with 64 watts of LED's with optics and like it much better. Link to comment
