ok well I dont really have much info but its pretty simple
price list
3x2x1" project box = 2.69$
4 white 5MM leds ( practice leds lol )= 3.99$
12V DC power supply for fan = FREE
3.6v DC powersupply for 5MM leds = FREE
still need shrink wrap and resistors ( evilc66 i need help on the size of resistors )
PICTURES !!!!!
the work bench ( messy hehe )
the fan ( please forgive me on the tape - i need shrink wrap lol )
the fan power supply ( from a old DVD player )
the project box
the best tool ever made
thats it for now more to come

fan keeps the leds from getting to hot since there is no heatsink
there going to be moonlights but i dont realy seeing them having much effect on growth at all

ok i got some more done today-but it cost me 3$ in leds lolz
got how im going to wire them out AND I found out i dont need the resistor YAY !!!!
but i still need my shrink-heat wrap stuff to make the wiring not so ugly lol( i promised id take it to the swap)
if all goes well i will get a bigger project box and make a fixture for a bigger tank and see how it works
well thats all for now

Ok, first, you don't need the fan. Second, you need a resistor. I don't care what info you have found. If you want the LEDs to last a reasonable amount of time, you need a resistor in each series string. The resistor size will depend on the LEDs used. For your initial 4 LED test, run without. But for the new blue LEDs that are coming, run 3 LEDs in series with a 100 ohm resistor.
ok
i know the fan isnt really needed but it looks cool lol
so should i run 3 leds only ? or run 2 series of 3 leds ?

Define suck? It's a good setup with plenty of light. If you are moaning that you can't adjust the blues seperately, then modify the setup with another driver and rewire it. Another $20 and a little time is far cheaper than buying a different light. If you are looking to add those dinky little 5mm LEDs to add more blue to the tank, they won't do much. They will be fine for moonlights.
