Just thought I'd start my own thread for this, as i didn't want to hijack the other DIY led thread... not to mention this will be an ongoing project, that may lead to me building my own "solaris" equivalent. So far here is what I've got!
so far it's not much, and on this bar, i've placed the lights much too close together. I'm not sure whether I will continue to attempt making "supplemental" llights, or if my next attempt will be at an entire light fixture to replace my PC's. I plan to use a potentiometer to control brightness, and eventually a digital pot. programmed to auto light/dim for day, night cycles. I know this will be quite involved, but i think it will be quite an interesting DIY project! Enjoy!
I will have video of my tank with and without the lightbar to see the results with the above lightbar, later on today.
Thanks for reading!
