    Default LED Cannons or just giant LEDs

    I'm looking to replace my 400 watt halides and maybe even get some more punch!
    I have been looking at these Hero LED they are 100 watt 14k but don't have optics available.
    Anyone here have any thoughts or experience with these goliath LEDs ?

    Here is a link to the parts. (100W Led : Led Strips Hero-ledstore.com)

    I think cooling the LED is going to be the key. In my opinion, it is better to go with smaller 3watt LEDs where you can add different colors.

    You could make a very nice cannon with that chip ! You will need to use a cooling fan tho for sure. I also would recommend using a 20k chip. The 14 is more of a 10k halide color. If do make a cannon use a lens and you will get the results you want!

    Thanks for the responses! There is a heat sink with cooling fan available for that LED.
    They don't offer a 20K. Maybe a tinting of a lense would help?
