LED Group buy!

[QLe]

Or are you making a trip to Denver sometime?

 

[that0neguy1126]

Well everything I can count is there (I am not counting close to 1000 LED's, but the lables on the LED packages show the right number).

I am available every day pretty much. Afternoon pickup would be best as I usually sleep till 3p, but i can make exceptions if you need to come by early.

I was planning on going up to Daniels tonight to pick up the HPE's. I will also be going to the meeting in april and can bring it than. I am also up at Arapahoe Community College Friday nights (Sante Fe and Bowles).

PM or email (that0neguy1126@gmail.com) and I will shoot you my phone number and address.

Has anybody built their led lights yet?

I wasn't in on your group buy but I did an order about 3 weeks ago. Here is my build.

That is awesome. But isn't that a lot of light on a 90? I'm thinking of only doing 18RB, 18Blue, and 18 white on my 72gallon. Think that is enough?

Is this Daniels at DU? If so, I can meet you there in a bit.

Hi Derek,

Sent you a PM about pick up.

Maybe we could all try to invade your place Saturday afternoon for pick ups.

Thanks again for organizing this,

Tony

Derek, I'll shoot for sometime this weekend. I'll PM first.

Thanks. It was very frustrating trying to compile info on the 3w LEDs. Not so much iexperience owith them yet. I just guessed then added more figuring I could dim them.

Thanks, I do have a ton of light. I have seven circuits running about 1/2 of full power. I'm not sure what color you are trying to achive. You are going to have a lot of blue with the LEDs you ordered. I could have gotten away with a 50/50 mix and been fine. I'll just pull some off and put over another tank. Good luck with your build. If you need any support, just ask. Crit21 has also used these before. I do have to say one thing. Nothing makes the corals glow like blue LEDs, it's amazing!

Finished drilling and tapping 60 holes on my 10" x 12" heatsink. (had a younger guy help me because he's a lot steadier than I am)
Now I have to wait for the 4-40 nylon screws to put it together
I think I'll polish the mating surface on the aluminum while I wait.

Pics brah !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember to start them out at a very low setting and slowly increase the intensity over a couple weeks or more. They don't look as bright to the eye as MH, but they're putting out a ton of energy. Don't get too eager to crank them up.

If you have them both, you will be able to tell once fired up....unless you're color blind

Sorry, but I fired them up, but the look the same to me. Unless I received the wrong batch.

 

[dv3]

what is the difference between blue and super blue.... i thought there was just blue and royal blue?

 

[Cake_Boss]

wavelength I thought, the fixture I have has blue moonlights and royal blue actinics. You can def tell the difference between the two, I'll try and capture it with my P/S

 

[dv3]

i understand that there are blue and royal blue ...i was just wondering what super blue was?

 

[Crit21]

Blue are 460-475 nanometer wavelength.
Super blue are 44-0-460 nm. It's the same as royal blue. Just a label.
If you use both you'll cover a wider portion of the blue spectrum--good for photosynthesis and some for the fluorescence. Super blue gives better fluorescence.
