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!
