DIY LED into ATI Powermodule

[khuancc]

Need ideas to diy cree leds into ATI Powermodule lightsets... Tried taking the lightsets apart but seems like to place to slot in a heatsink into the compartment where the balast is placed unless i cut some parts off it. Anyone tried on diying on this set before? Looking at the outlook of the powermodule, it should be an idea casing for diy leds into it. Thanks.

there are a few post in RC, reefer there manage to intergrate LED into Powermodule.. Do a search there...

But i feel it is a waste to modify such a good T5 light sets

Not difficult to mod but like bro sunny03 said...it's really a waste.. .

ya, this set is really a good set... the fan doesnt work now and it has been lying around in my storeroom for the past one year. thinking of trying out led on this set, it should look very nice. btw, can anyone help to point me to how to search? tried searching but none came out.

Why do u want to waste away the ATI powermodule? Get the fan replaced and it'll better that using it as a DIY LED set.

it is much easier to change the fan then mod the light set...

I dunno which is spoilt, the lights are working but the fan are not. Some years back, someone helped me to change the acdc power supply to the fan. Anyone know where can I get it repaired cheaply? I was quoted before and it cost a lot to change the galaxy and power supply. That's why I'm thinking to mod it to led.

My diy led into powermodule

nice! where did you place the drivers? is the single fan enough to cool the leds? do you have any pics of the inside? thanks in advance.

If the led is running at 700mA a single fan is more than enough coz the body of pwermodule is a giant aluminium heatsink by itself.

buckpuck/recon driver is small enough to put inside but if using meanwell or other driver need to fixed external.

The multicore cable that come with the powermodule can be use to power the led from external driver.

Roughly how many 3w LEDs can buckpuck driver drives?

Hi lobster, do You hide the drivers inside the light set?
