hail_luna Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Wasn't sure if this should go here or DIY, but oh well... I'm very new to all of this, and in the process of building a custom LED setup to go over my 20L. I'm building a custom hood and control system, and these will be fitted inside. For the lighting, I ordered the following from StevesLED: 3x 3 Watt True Violet 2x 3up anti-disco TriStar with 1 Cyan, 1 Deep Red, and 1 Cool Blue 4x 3up Tristar (wired separately) configured with 2 5,000K White and 1 royal blue As I was laying things out on my heatsink, I realized I messed up. I meant to order the 4 stars with 1 5,000K White and 2 royal blue. I'm very new to LEDs, and I'm not sure what this means for my lighting system as a whole. What do you guys think? Do I need to add blue? Should I just trash those and order the correct stars? Is it usable as is? Oh, the headaches... Link to comment
allegori Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 You could just order 4 more separate royal blues and then when you wire it all up, don't wire up 4 of the 5000k whites. That will give you the 2 rb to 1 w ratio that you originally wanted. There's no reason to trash those 3ups. Or use it as is; it just wont be as blue as you may like. Link to comment
