moon lights/LED ARE IN!!!

[Seanc]

Hi
i want to build a monlight sytem for my tanks, and was looking on ebay, and they have some packs of 100, for $6.01 including shiping.
i was wondering if anyone would like to buy some because i realy don't need 100 LED's. each one would be $0.05.
here is the link http://cgi.ebay.ca/5mm-x-50-pcs-7000-mcd-Ultra-High-Bright-Blue-LEDs_W0QQitemZ7577925797QQcategoryZ66948QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
thanks

Well, I'll take some...although according to that link:

A) it's for 50 LED's, not 100
B) it's coming from Hong Kong...do you trust that?
C) $6.01 is $6.00 shipping, and the $0.01 starting bid...there are currently no bids, but 5 days left on the auction.  The actual price is going to be more than this.

i was looking at the wrong link when i wrote the last post. its 100 LED's,  $.09ea. its from the US, and has a buy it now, wich meens that it wont go up in price. there are also many listings, so there isnt only 10 hrs.

glad to know your interested darkdep

I'll take 10 if you buy them.

Hey Seanc, I am thinking about building LED moonlights for my 2 tanks as well...  Sure, I'll take 20 of these....

[Jim]

does anyone have some kind of plan they can post of how they will hook the LEDs up? (ie. wiring, scematic, power supply)

please and thank you
Jim

i can help you with powering them up, (i used to buy white leds in thousands from hong kong and they arrived b4 some US shipping - go figure) the bare leds will need mounting plugs to start with....then u need proper resistors, power supply and few other things and ofcrse some soldering!

jervais(on industrial) and active (on mrvale) are the east/west places where you should find everything....

i may have some mounting plugs/resistors which i could trade for some blue leds though!

[Jim]

I can salder so if i can get those supplys then i'll get a few!

Can you hold 10please?

[darkdep]

Sweet!  I'll take 20!

[FishBuddy]

Seanc, on second thought, reserve 40 for me as my buddy would like to have some as well.  Thanks...

[gvv]

I will be glad to be in for 20, but it seems we already exceed the lot number...

[Jim]

how many do you want Seanc?

[ToX]

I would be in for 10 if someone could should show me how to install them, we should do a meet to put everything together!!!!

[Jim]

haha thats a good idea ToX

[FishBuddy]

Why didn't I thought about that ToX...   I mean, most of us, with the exception of a few, is pretty new in doing this...   :-)

[Seanc]

ok we might have to order two lots.
I want 20-30 (or whatever is extra), that puts us up to 140( it would be best if i could get rid of more but its not a big deal). maybe we could also look into geting some resistors? if you can get them real cheep on ebay its worth a try.

i agree it is a good idea ToX

[Seanc]

ok so far we are at 130 lights. ( i will take 20 or however many are left over). wich meens that i will have to get another set wich is not a bad thing, it will be cheeper because of shiping.so if any one else wants any please speak up, i have to dicide weather to get another 50 or 100

does any one know how much resitors are here in ottawa? because if they are expensive, then i should just get a bunch of them too (they should be less on ebay). i'v seen alot of power suplys at princes auto, i don't think they are that much. 3-5$

ToX that is a great idea, and the ones who have done it befor should come and teach the rest of use how.

ps.they are actualy $.10 can. ea. because of exchange.

[Jim]

is $0.10 with shipping and all?

I'd be intrested in 20 rather than 10 if you are ordering another 100.

thanxs

we use to do this for car mods lol everyone that wanted to do a rear drum to disc conversion would go to this guys place and we all did it at the same time

[Seanc]

sounds good up too 140
also i think i might go with some slightly more exspenive LED's but more intence (ie:6000mcd vs 11000mcd). this will be beter i think for the deeper tanks, and i dont think it should hurt the shalower ones eather
