Here is a video of my 90 galloon with LEDs. I plan on making a build thread to show everyone and how I built them but i'm too lazy to do that right now.
72 3w LEDS. 24 white XPG, 48 blue XRE, 4 dimmable drivers, 2 heatsinks, 4 fans, 70 degree lens on the blues. I have them split evenly over two 18' heatsinks. I can control the blues on each sink independently, and the whites on each sink independently. The blues can be controlled from 5% power all the way up to 100%. The whites are a little more restricted but they can be controlled from about 18% power up to 100% power.
In the morning the blues and whites slowly ramp up until about 1, then the blues max out at 85% and the whites at 90% power. Thats what the video and pics are taken at. They then slowly ramp down throughout the day. Makes it to be a really really cool effect. The blues are then on late at 5% for moon lights, its then completely dark at 2:30 am.
I dont have a camera to take pics, just my iphone. So here is a video I took with my phone. It isnt as blue as it looks in the video. Its VERY blue but not that blue. Also some pics I took with my phone. It would be cool if someone could come over and take some pictures who actually knows what they are doing.
link to video, can't figure out how to make it work right now here.
