Another DIY LED project

As always, much appreciated. I'll post pics in a few weeks

Go with two 20W, three if needed

[Austy16414]

I'll check them out. 10 or 20 watt floodlights?

[SunnyHouTX]

The shimmer from LED floodlights are better than these IMO

[Austy16414]

Also, check out the lighting on my 120 5ft track set up

Surely will

[Austy16414]

Think I'll be able to get a nice shimmer with only two? I'm also considering four of the PAR30 (9x2W)

Yeah, might wanna try just two, raised above the water about 8" - 10"

Hey Sunny, what do you think about 4 of these on a 125? Too much?

Little update on the spotlights. I'm using them on basically all of my freshwater tanks. I just got custom bulbs in. If you just ask people who sell bulbs on ebay, they can normally custom make what you want. I had them make bulbs for my cyprichromis tank. Wanted more of a deep water look so they made me 9w bulbs that had 2x 10000k and 1x actinic led per bulb. Then for my trophs, they made me 4w bulbs that have 2x 10000k, 1x 6500k, 1w 3500k leds per bulb. So you can get whatever spectrum you want at virtually no extra cost. You can also request certain beam angles

Jumping up to the 15w bulbs sunny uses, you could make some cool spectrums when you have 15 leds per bulb.

Just another step forward with spotlights

Yeah, I was too lazy to go looking for the right size screws

Thanks Sunny, but it is your DIY. The only mod that I made was screwing down the led base versus your zip ties. I wanted to be sure that I had good heat transfer. When all was said and done, I could only say, wow. I think that this system rocks, much brighter then my t5's on my other tanks.
