Todd's 125g Build (Part 3 = DIY East-to-West Linear LED Lighting)

[TJL]

Well.... with a little help from Dave in programming and finding out that I switched up some wires during install late last night oooops!

As AC/DC screams out LET THERE BE LIGHT !!!

Just my Noonday Sun 7th circuit (10 XP-G Cool Whites and 2 XM-L Cool Whites @ 700ma)

All six front to back circuits running @ 30% with drivers tuned to 700ma and no optics

Looking down through fixture

Now time for a serious shop cleanup, after a cold drink relax period


Cheers, Todd

Indeed. I'm still seeing spots from looking at them too often.

Very nice Todd.
How long will the acclimation period be?
And are we going to see a 12 hour continuous video, condensed into a 2 min video for your patented east to west light pattern?????
Remember no pics No happen. LOL

Glad to see you got it going. That is awesome. Really looks good.

 

[TJL]

Just for you Peppie

6:15 pm circuit 1 is off and #2 is ramping down

7:05 pm circuit 1,2,3,4 off #5 ramping down #6 on @ 30%

7:38 pm last circuit ramping down (sorry for crappy pic, went to take another and lights went off for the night)

I'll take a short vid to show the Dazzle n Glimmer tomorrow, plus I missed a few transistion pics. I have circuits 1,2,5 and 6 Ramping Up 12% - 30% then Ramping Down 30% - 12% in a 30 minute duration, looks pretty awesome

Cheers, Todd

Great work Todd. As always your work is top notch and very clean. Cant wait to see the vid. It sound like we both need to make trips to each others houses.

Thanks for the time laps photos. It will be interesting to see how your tank will react to the whole program. Over a 6mo to 12mo period.

One word, SWEET!

 

[TJL]

Thanks Guys, was sure nice to wake up this morning to a fully running lighting system (Thanks again to Floyd and Dave). Very happy with the combination of LED's I chose, super crisp white with a touch of blue and reminds me of snorkeling on Kaui in the shallow reef flats. (what Krish gets to see all the time) I will try my hand at the video a little later today after some cleanup time.

Cheers, Todd

Really nice build Todd! I love the new lights!

 

[NC2WA]

gonna have to get over there and see in person.

 

[TJL]

How about a shot of sunrise this morning...

Pretty cool, and similar to having MH's coming on and warming up in sequence.

And now for the vid with Dazzle-n-Glimmer

hopefully this works... first vid post

Cheers, Todd
