dswong01 bio-cube 14 led build

[dswong01]

Afler gathering all necessay material I had a chance today to drill and mount leds on the heat sink,solder/wire and test all led with Xitanium non-dimable drivers from led supply. I used one each of titanium drivers for royal blue crees and one for white crees. The titanium driver output current is 700 ma and input voltage is 120 Vac . No need for another DC power supply source with these drivers.
Next task is to build the project box to house the drivers,terminal board and toggle switch

[dswong01]

Not concerned about cost just a fun project to do.

 

[GreshamH]

But what did you spend? Those of us that are looking to do something like that are concerned

 

[Gomer]

I think the heatsink is around $30-40
Drivers maybe $15-20 each
LEDs around $6 each ($72)
shipping involved puts you around $20 total for 3 sources.

Guestimation: $130-150.

Wow, i wish i got the nano tuners heat sink, so much lighter. great job dudley

 

[dswong01]

Omid ,
I thought the nanotuners heat sink would fit much better in the bio cube stock hood. Not as heavy and bulky. But I will be using the other heat sink on group buy to build a fuge light.

Finally got around to mount leds/heat sink in the bio cube hood see attatch pictures.
