DIY LED's

smmagui1976 · Jun 4, 2013

I've been searching thru several of the different categories in the forums and I have'nt seen what i was looking for. I'm looking for a good website to just buy the led lights. I'm going do be doing a homemade heatsink and mount. I've found the controllers I want I just can't seem to find the lights. If I missed it in forums I am sorry for posting this I will keep hunting, but if anyone knows a good site for the led's please feel free to let me know. I really apprecate the help since I am still fairly new to reef keeping and saltwater tanks in general.

Thank you

Shawn

Thank you. I will give them a look. Is this the right area as well to get an idea as to wether or not I'm getting enough light and correct colors and wattage? If not I will ask in the LED forum.

I went with Steve's LEDs and love them. I have had no problems at all and the customer service is great as well. He uses Luxeon LEDs and builds his own drivers. And yes they are cheaper $$$ than most others with the same quality (with research) same PAR values as the CREEs.

That's what I'm going to buy when I upgrade.
