DIY 10w Multichip LED Build

Postby seth » Mon Oct 21, 2013 8:12 pm

Maraming salamat sa mga tumulong, lalo sa kabarkada ko sa pagsolder at pagbuo. :lol:

Bill of materials:

3 10w 15000k + 455nm Hybrid multichip
2 10w 20000k + 455nm Hybrid multichip
2ft large heatsink from T. Alonzo (Aluminum Power - name of the shop)
5 10w individual led drivers from ebay
wires, electrical tape
drill with cobalt HSS drillbit from your favorite hardware


Where to get the multichip leds:
http://ac-rc.net/catalog/index.php?cPath=22_28

Where to get the drivers: ebay

Some pics:

Image

Image

all wired up
Image

phonecam pics (no edit/color adjustment): actual light is whiter in color

LED Test, a single 10w multichip without lens can effectively light 3' of my tank

Image

All LEDs on...pardon the clutter

Have fun with your own builds! :)

@calvin supposedly dapat 2 weeks lang eh. Kaso yung kasabay ko na umorder ng Cree at EpiLEDs mabagal kumuha nagka-dengue pa. Inabot tuloy ng 3 weeks mahigit. :roll: :lol:

Ilang watts ba dapat ang minimum to keep a reef tank? I'm just using an 8-watt tube LED light at FOWLR lang naman, though may mga nakita na rin ako na mataas na tube LED lights
50 gallon standard size
20 gallon sump
Reef Octopus NWB 110SSS skimmer
DIY light fixture (32 pc 3W bulbs)
DIY Denitrator
Purigen

@roland
the watts per gallon guide is very inaccurate and irrelevant. Pero kung gagamit ka ng multichips, ang rough guide as per my experience ay isang 10w multichip per 9" to a square foot cube na area (9x9x9" to 12x12x12"). So kung standard 50 gallon tank, more or less 4-5 pcs kung reef, without lens at a distance of 5-6" away from the water surface.

@loidimi
kailangan mo ng acrylic sheet para magsilbing splash guard. di ko pa kasi tapos yung ilaw ko pero dapat sa lahat ng LEDs maging waterproof yung pinaka-array... or else mapupundi kagad dahil sa saltcreep at humidity.

Marty

Sir nag gawa na din ako ng multichips.. Sad to say nagbayad ako ng tax sa customs..hays
Problem ko lang sir kumakalas yung adhesive niya sa side ng chips. Ano kaya maganda gawin?
Saka sobrang ganda nga at ang lakas ng multichips..hehe
