The metal core PCB with 3 M thermal tape for heat dissipation

I will be using these 3M heat dissipation tape instead of thermal grease

Now it is time to treat the led on metal core PCB with heat dissipation tape or thermal grease before mounting them on the aluminium plate These are the 3 leds on single metal core PCB which I fabricate at the beginning of the year for the cube 7

I have not see this light before but from the photo on their home page look like you need about 4 LED bulbs for your 4 footer

The trimmed plate sit neatly in the tank cover according to the feature on the cover

Trim off some part of the plate so that it can sit into the tank cover neatly

Found one small piece of aluminium plate(4 mm thick) Just the right size for the cube 7 tank cover

Sample from the website using PAR 30 led light http://www.ledpacific.com/ PAR 30 is rated the same as the PAR 38 which is available locally but at a fraction of the price

Cut a hole on the tank cover for one exhaust fan for the led assembly

The 11 watt PL lamp that come with the tank

Long time since last update.(April) The LED light modification job for this cube 7 was stop due to very heavy work load. Today manage to get leave (after more than 6 months continiuous work)so decide to continue on this modification. First I remove the PLC light and reflector that come with this tank cover

The price on this web site is just for the bulb only. You need to get the socket or clamp attachment if you do not have the E27 socket on hand http://www.ledpacific.com/categories/21w-LED-Bulbs/

Should be able to cover up to depth of 2.5 ft depending on the lens you choose. 40 or 60 or 90 degree. Each bulb should cover an area of 1.5 to 2 sq. ft No cost out yet but if you see what is available on aquarium market today it is anything from US$60 to 50 GBP.(compare those using 3 or more watt led type. No those using smt or smaller then 3 watt LED type)

If you using single end MH.You can consider this for replacement PAR 30 LED light It is using E27/26 head same as your single end MH. It come in white,warm white,royal blue or mix

Wow so fast

Wow miss a good buy

The 2 led mini strips are connected together by connectors and a 24 vdc 1 A DC adaptor is use to power up both led mini strips. The sump area in the cabinet when light up as bright as when using a 39 watt T5HO

Next I mounted the led mini strip on a C aluminium profile with 2 M3 mushroom head screw

I used a double side adhesive heat disspation 3M tape behind the the mini led strip

My cabinet is 5 ft long. The led mini strip is about 15.75 inch. As I am only using the strip to light up the cabinet only I decide to cut the strip to 2 smaller strips.(Can cut up to 4 smaller strips) So a larger area of the cabinet can be light up

Today no work.Decide to change my tank cabinet light. I decide to use the SSC mini strip
