• Help improve the LED light fixture.

Dear LED lighting specialists! I need your help. I have a lamp. There is no information on who made it and when (maybe the manufacturer can recognize it from the photo). It was purchased on this website, not by me. Clearly, there is not enough light for the corals, judging by their appearance. I can't even talk about growth. The aquarium is 40x40x40. I think the diodes need to be replaced. I am not knowledgeable in this area. There is no budget for purchasing a new one.

People. Please help with advice. Considering the size of the aquarium, how many diodes, of what type and power can be installed on this lamp? Thank you.

Nicholas

Your driver is too small for increasing the number of diodes. The maximum you can do is replace a single diode with a set of three and try to attach two single ones on the sides. In that case, active cooling is essential. Also, you will need to change the driver, at least to LPC-35-700 from the same manufacturer as yours. You can also squeeze a bit more out of the diodes by using the LPC-35-1050 driver; at 1050mA, they will shine brighter. I can't help you with the spectrum. I don't know anything about the sea. Added after 2 minutes: And remove the glass!

I was just thinking about the low power issue. I will try to come on Saturday.

To my considerable surprise, under this light Blastomussa has produced two new polyps in six months. The ray Takedau responded to my request. He will help to redesign the lamp. I will try to take all the expressed opinions into account.

I apologize, how are these diodes controlled, and how much (volume or liters) of such a spot assembly will be enough?

This is not a redesign of an existing lamp, but a useful tip on how to make a lamp properly in general. Don't scare the Orphan!

Type "Dreamchip-led-100w-5-channels" into Google and read to your heart's content. I don't need this chip; I already have everything. Yes, I saw a discussion about this chip in DIY LED forums.

Thank you. The new lamp is unfortunately still just a plan. I lost a lot of money because of this lamp. Since November last year, after the launch, I have been constantly buying live stock, which all died. The money would have been more than enough for a 40 cm LED from Airsoft. "Thank you" to the person through whom and on whose recommendation I bought it. I don't want to name names. I didn't know about the website back then. I couldn't go to Donetsk yesterday to see Takedau. It's a pity. I'll try to go this week.

Come on, I'm leaving on Friday. Try to make it, because I'll only be back on September 1st. There are a few details for free.
