UPDATE-TIME

Okay, first of all I'd like to apologize for the silence these past few weeks, but you know easter and all knocked me off track. BUT I have done some work. There has been a lot of soldering going on, and I was very close to giving up the whole project (again) and even though it has been an expensive and outrageously unnecessary heatsink for a few LEDs, I'm still determined to complete it. Just for the sake of accomplishment, if nothing else.

Here it is:

Ironically, I had to replace every piece of pipe from the original rig with new ones, as they were an outdated dimension and did not fit new parts. Keeping the cost down by reusing old materials was one of the cornerstones of this whole project

Well, what you can see here is basically a square. Three sides of which contains the mounting surfaces for 6x10w LEDs and the last side an aquarium pump and the "radiator". Also, there is a small 5mm pipe I was going to use as a "safety valve" as suggested by unforgiven3x. Exactly how that's going to work, I don't know right now.

I received two thermal switches in the mail. one was 45 and the other 55 celsius. I'll be wiring LEDs soon and I'll be needing all the help I can get on that one. Thermal epoxy, btw.


Okay, that's all for now!

Now, I'm about to fire up an LED-DIY grow and since this is my first time ever making an LED-LAMP I've decided to jump straight into the deep end of the pool and do a water-cooled rig. As pipes are mostly round there was an issue with lack of flat space to mount the LEDs on and the right parts was hard to find, so it kind of just ended up like it is. My question is: will it work? I have an aquarium pump that goes between the Rating: 5
