moon lights/LED ARE IN!!!

[dannypd]

Wow, if this order goes through, I'll chip in $5....whatever that gets me.

[Seanc]

here are the more intence LED's they are from hong kong though but have pritty good feedback. http://cgi.ebay.ca/Blue-LED-Set-of-50-XtraBright-11000mcd-Low-Ship_W0QQitemZ7577856770QQcategoryZ66948QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
they are $.15 ea in US dollars. wich is $.17 in canadian.

[darkdep]

I'll up my call to 40.

[DARKPHREAK]

I'll pay 25$+ if the resistors and power supply is included.

[jgolden]

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

DIY plans I used are being uploaded now (PDF format)

[jgolden]

okay, couldn't upload from main page. Here's the pdf

[az]

i can show you guys how to do it, no problem at all!

not to scare you or anything but by the time its set and done, its going tobe not too cheap, but cheap enough!

i'd ask the supplier to provide the resistors.....they are cheap and the supplier always provide resistors if you only ask(something i learned about this hk ppl).

the things we need for the whole project:

leds
mounting plugs
resistors
wires
heatshrinks
heatgun
soldering stuff
little bit of patience

think i have all that maybe some extra! i'll take 35 btw, thanks.

Nice description jgolden!

[Seanc]

here are the resisrtors i have found for the LED's. they work for a 12 V/DC power supply, with the brighter LED's.

i have also bid one one of the sets of 50

Seanc, on top of getting brighter LEDs, I think it's wise to get some that's in the 470nm wavelength as well as this spectrum is very close to the actual moonlight....  In the original ad which you've posted (from eBay), they didn't mention the wavelength so I am not sure what it is.....

Just a thought......

ToX, talking about car mods.....  I am not much of a mod myself, but I did upgrade a bunch of LED lights for my car and it looks really cool :-)  The one I especially liked is my license plate light as it is brilliantly white; not dim and yellow like a normal light  bulb....  I got it from this shop in HK as well and I have no defective bulbs so far....

[Seanc]

they do say the wave length
if you go about half way down the page to

Typical Electrical & Optical Characteristics
at the bottom of that section it says
"Color TemperatureNA, Wavelength : 465-470nm"
wich is perfect, right?

[darkdep]

I think 470-480 is the desired wavelength to match real moonlight...(could be wrong tho)

[jgolden]

Yes, 470nm-480nm is the wavelength you're searching for in order to simulate real moonlight (desired for saltwater tanks). However, if you're building these for a freshwater aquarium, 465nm-470nm will be fine.

[Seanc]

so does every one still want them?

[DARKPHREAK]

Yes, as per my previous posts.

[Jim]

yep i'm in for 20

[gvv]

Yes, 20

[Seanc]

ok how about this, every one who wants some pm me with the final amount you want. its just geting to confusing.
thanks
sean

[Jim]

good idae.

[BadTiming]

I would be interest in 20.

Found this information from www.ledwerx.com. For some reason it doesn't come up on the web. Good thig I printed it out. Example for a 10g - 4 leds, 25-30g - 6 leds, 50-90g 10 leds, 110-180 12 leds.
I also found this http://www.kaotica.com/frag/diy/moonlight/
