I failed Kobayashi Maru
I actually ordered this one from the same place (which will give me a discount if I order more than 3 at a time):
DealExtreme: $15.20 SSC P7 C-Bin LED Emitter with 21mm Heat Sink Base (3.6V~3.7V)
It's cheaper using this. We can just screw it into the large heatsink that will hold the entire unit together. We're going to solder the wiring directly onto each p7 heatsink. Saves money. And if one needs replaced, we'll just unscrew, rip out, and resolder a new led w/ heatsink. This set up is definitely not for those who want "plug and play", but in efforts to keep prices low, this is what we're doing. It'll be a PITA I know it LOL!!
Depending on how the white ones make my tank look (give it the MH shimmer effect), then I am only planning to use the blue LEDs as moonlights. It will have separate wiring and will be on at night.
All this is theory so far. Once we receive our LED and play with it, we'll have a better idea of what direction to go. Seeing as how it's coming from hong kong, dunno when it'll get here LOL According to USPS, it left hong kong march 13. No updates since then. I hate waiting! But what can ya do -- free shipping :D
