Caravanshaka Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 98F is pretty safe for LED, the website did say the 412 is rated for 75W LED. but i can imagine somone filling the heatsink with as much LED as they can. im sure the LED will fry without aftermarket cooling 98 is very safe. Keep in mind my LED's are clustered as well, which isn't using the heatsink the most efficient way. You could add 2 more clusters in between mine with a similar number of led's and barely (if at all) increase the highest temp. I run my temp gun across the heatsink and it is room temperature midway between the clusters. Link to comment
DC5 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Do the clowns play near the surface frequently? Hopefully that wrasse doesn't get large and cause some carpet surfing! Link to comment
Caravanshaka Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Do the clowns play near the surface frequently? Hopefully that wrasse doesn't get large and cause some carpet surfing! Whenever they think I might feed them they try and get noticed up there, lol. I keep the nuvo supplied glass top on there most of the time, just take it off for pics, feeding, and maintenance, so no carpet surfing in the near future (I hope). Link to comment
CNCreef.com Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 What makes the heatsinks unique is the airflow pattern. Air comes in from the top, down the heatsink fins. If you look from the bottom, at the end of the heatsink raceway are some ports. The air is then kicked to the bottom part of the heatsink where LEDs are, and rush across, exiting near the center through the X pattern. What makes this strategy different is that 1- Unibody Aluminum construction - The entire body of the fixture is the heatsink. 2. Pressurized plenum - airflow keeps the LEDs and Splashguards cool 3. Maximized surface contact - air touches nearly every surface of the heatsink for better heat transfer. We work very hard here at CNCreef. Thanks for the support. Link to comment
CNCreef.com Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Any updates? We just sent JBs ASIS 618 to Powdercoat. Link to comment
Caravanshaka Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 No update on these fixtures since the nano was taken down in favor of a 180g in-wall with 3 Asis 418's each housing 2 Cree Lumia 5.2 arraysI am selling this pair for $500 shipped including an apex cable to hook it up to an apex controller.

dorky08 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 dont know if you already done the build thread for the new fixtures with the lumia 5.2 yet or not? Link to comment
Caravanshaka Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 dont know if you already done the build thread for the new fixtures with the lumia 5.2 yet or not? oh wow, that was a few fixtures ago, lol! wasn't a huge fan of the lumia's, I much prefer nanobox v3's now. Don't think I ever did a built thread with them. Right now I have a ASIS pro 824 hybrid with dual t5's and 4 nanobox v3 pucks. Link to comment
