So after becoming VERY intrigued by LEDs and reading a decent amount on them and reading couple different peoples DIY setups I have decided to give my try at a smaller scale light. I am pretty much going to be following the instructions from a guy that made a very clean LED system if anyone wants the link to his write up feel free to PM me.
The system I am going to be building will be used on a 14g Biocube I will be going with a total of 12 LEDs (6 Cool White and 6 Royal Blue) the LEDs will all be mounted directly onto a 12"x6" heat sink.
The approximate cost break down of the system is as followed:
6-100 Lumen Q4 Cool-White Cree XR-E Star-45.00
6-Royal Blue Cree XR-E Star-45.00
1-3023-D-E-1000 Wired BuckPuck, 1000mA Output, DC Powered-16.00
1-023-D-E-700 Wired BuckPuck, 700mA Output, DC Powered-16.00
1-Heat Sink 12"x6"-18.00
1-Power Supply(I have not decided on one yet but it will cost 15-20)-20.00
Epoxy, screws, fans, mounting supplies, wire-50.00
Total-210.00
I will be ordering everything this weekend and will keep everyone updated on my progress!
