LED-WATER-HEATSINK
Hi, Unforgiven, thanks for the reply!
And I get what you're saying. I definitely agree, but it was such a hassle finding the right pieces to fit the pipe/surface-area/cost/time equation that I kind of got fed up with it and settled for the next best thing... I'm not a highly experienced DIY'er, so that is a lesson learned!
Now, as for copper Ts, why would they fit any better? Are you suggesting that I could solder the gap and that would do the trick? If not, the problem with the size difference is the out-dated dimension of the pipes, not the Ts. If I could do it again I would do that. I'll head down to the plumber store and see if they have copper Ts, as I do have the receipt for the chrome ones. I'm "that guy with the lamp-whatever-project" now, so It's probably no big deal.
Buying new pipes would also be a solution. Now that I think about it, you meant soldering the gap, right?
Oh, by the way, can you solder copper with a 60w iron?
Weezard, thanks for the lamp advice, I'll be keeping a very close (not too close!) eye on stretching and all, but as I'm a newgrower myself, I don't have alot of reference-points to refer to... There's the issue of R/B-ratio-stretch too consider also, right?
Well, I'm learning for sure!
