Rapid LED Ultra Premium Daylight Lighting System

I placed another order with Rapid LED for a set of their DIY 6 LED Ultra Premium Constant Lighting Systems. This kit come with the following listed below. I also placed an order for a Heat Sink 5.9 Inches Width x 5.9 Inches Depth x 1 Inch Height which will be used to mount the LED's to and suspended from the aquarium canopy that I have build the framework for. I was hoping to receive my order this afternoon and get started building everything but thanks to the United States Postal Service I have to wait yet another day. Hopefully tomorrow I can get started!
  • 3 Cool White Cree-XPG R5 LED's
  • 3 Royal Blue Cree-E LED's
  • 1 Mean Well LPC-35-700W Driver with Power Cord
  • Thermal Adhesive Pads
  • Wiring

Well it appears that the aquarium gods have shined down upon me and granted me my gift of tinkering this evening. Right after dinner my doorbell rang and I went to the door with a suprise to see the United States Postal Service Delivery person standing their with my package from Rapid LED. So I immediately cleared of the table and get t work constructing the unit. So after about 2.5 hours of tinkering and some solder burns I have my new lighting system. My first thoughts are that it looks great but I still have some room on the Heat Sink for maybe another 6 LED's... maybe down the line. What can I say, it's an addiction!

    Looks like it is coming along nicely. How long did it take you to put the LED assembly together?

    It take about 2.5 hours to assemble. It probably would have taken less time if I didnt have to search for items in my toolkit and had them ready before I began.
