Need everyone's help....
I'm into customizing 16in Black Box lights with soldering my own 3watt LEDs ..... choosing the colors (nm) I want.
Two of my four black boxes fell into the tank destroying them yesterday ;Dead
Looking to buy replacement 16in black boxes off Amazon or Ebay.
HERE'S THE KICKER: seems like black box Mfgrs like Viparspectra and MarsAqua GLUE GLUE GLUE their LEDS using thermal paste glue.
Not a workable fixture if I'm wanting to remove (unsolder) factory LEDs and resolder my own nm of choice.
Anyone know of a 16in black box light where LEDs are not glued down? ....and are simply soldered at the +/- contacts with soft thermal paste backing?
