Recommended Posts

Hi Sherman,

To be honest, I really dun know :huh:

I'm totally nut in electrical..

I just check with my supplier on this is his reply.

60 LED

Consumption WATT per pc - 11W

Current per pc (mA) - 960~1180

Voltage - DC12V

Intensity - 420-540LM

Base on the above specification, can it penetrate 1.5' (tank height)?

If it don't work as what you have mention, can you recommend any good site (layman term) :bow: :bow:

Cheers

I think you mean 3 leds to a metal core PCB.

It is not only about how many LEDs but how many watt LEDs you are using.

Unless your tank is less than 12 inch deep.Only 3 watt LED can penetrate

the water deep of more than 12 inch with the help of optics.

If I am not wrong your LED lite cannot even meet the spec of a 70 watt MH

Read more before you invest

Cheers

Hi Sherman,

60 LED(60 leds should be 135 wat or 180 watt)

Consumption WATT per pc - 11W.(There is no 11 watt LED on market now.Only 1 watt or 3 watt can be use in aquarium)

Current per pc (mA) - 960~1180(That is very high for less than 3 watt LED.)

Voltage - DC12V(12 V can only drive 3 pcs of 3 watt LEDs)

Intensity - 420-540LM(How far from the LED is this measurement?Normal we take at 50 cm)

Look like is those 10 mm LEDs no even 1 watt LED. You need 3 watt LEDs for aquarium )

Base on the above specification, can it penetrate 1.5' (tank height)?No

If it don't work as what you have mention, can you recommend any good site (layman term) :bow: :bow: The only suitable LED for aquarium on market is Topic Marine .Of course I can build for you also

Cheers

Hi Bro,

Thanks for your reply. Think I really need to read more on LED and electrical stuff. :rolleyes:

I read your previous few post on DIY LED. Is interesting and complicated...

If really need your help on LED again, will PM you.

BTW, any LFS selling good LED that can penetrate 1.5' height??

Please recommend if you know anyone.

Cheers
