    Posted: November 11 2012 at 11:49pm
So I am building a LED setup for Lynn's 54 gallon corner tank. I am using 10 x 10Watt Leds. There is going to be 5 blues 2 x 10000-15000k   2 x 15000-20000k and 1 x 20000-25000k. I just all all the parts in and I am going to start the build the blues and whites are going to be on seperate dimmers and controled by knobs on the side of the tank.

I Finally got all the parts




Here is the Heatsink with 4 LEDs attached. there will be three different heatsinks identical to this one.




I started one the wiring this morning. Its not complete but i will take pictures once I light it up.

Ok I got found a little more time to do some wiring. I got 1 of 3 parts lit up. the pictures are hard to see because they are so bright my camera was having a hard time adjusting




the reason I am doing this in 3 parts instead of one solid fixture is that it works around his current lighting so he could use either his metal halide or the leds.

I forgot to mention these are Lux Leds . just those 4 leds put off as much light as about 15 of the 3 what leds that most people use
