Hi everyone,
I've noted these power leds on the interwebs and thought whether one could use them to build an aquarium light..... This would reduce any issues with colour spotting and somewhat simplify colour control as you should be able to just adjust each channel independently.

Perhaps a heatsink like this... Which will make positioning of LEDs easier.

The multiple wires per LED might be tricky to navigate however.
I think one could probably use the LM317 + TC421 to control each channel but will need to calculate the size of the resistor required.
Any thoughts or experience with this type of LED?
