Hi,
i love doing light for my tanks, here is my last DIY.
Hope you like it!
The fixture from above, you can see it's all aluminium, 4 pieces of double U shape with chihiros leg's (you can buy for around 9/10€).
The light emiters, 4 x10W LED, and a acrylic protection for security.
Detail were the lamp's join the cable, a multi filament RJ45 cable.
They way to fix the LED strips, also with double termal tape to aluminium sheet.
You can see that i'm using T8 LED lamps, took the glass out! [can be dangerous doing this, very careful]
The detail where the cable goes out to power supply and chihiros leg's, can see two previous wrong holes!
Inside protection from preventing the leg's to scratch the led's, wire or acrylic protection.
The power box! Wit visit window to change settings if needed.
Inside the box! You can see i'm just using 2 power adapters for 4 LED strips.
I mesure it it was just too much power, very high PAR.
The power adaptor inside cabinet, with a hanging hook! I can easily connect and disconnect the fixture for maintenance.
Hope you like!
[always very very careful working with electricity, if you don't have knowledge just get away from it]
