Oprah Wrangler February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 LED DIY Strip I found this on ebay this morning and would love to know what the rest of the group thinks about them. Thanks in advance for your opinions and input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankna February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 NanoTuners used similar strips from Edison. The strips use 1watt LEDs. The Nanotuners setup read 600 PAR @ 2inches and 150 PAR @ 12inches directly below the setup running at 100%(my readings when tested). My setup has (2)50/50 strips and (1)actinic strip for a total of 18watts(6white/12blue). This is with no optics. In a BC 14 they work fantastic without optics. In a larger tank, I would definately use optics or 3w CREEs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oprah Wrangler February 26, 2012 Author Share February 26, 2012 You said that you got this rig from nanotuners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankna February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 Nanotuners/Nanocustoms were the same shop. They have closed shop now. I was just making you aware that the LED strips are being used in the industry. What tank are you looking to use these on? Sent from my GT-P7310 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
