Most LED system you see as kits only come with the 455nm which is still an essential part of the action spectrum but lack the 420nm that is greatly needed. Combining the 420nm into your LED kit provides a great deal of light that is needed by corals for growth and overall health.<br />
<br />
You can look at it this way, you can't give a human being only a protein diet and expect him to live healthy. You need to mix in all the food groups to get a natural healthy diet. This is the same for corals, they need a variety of wavelength to sustain growth and health.Miladhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15120625542677270139noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996464078068144446.post-59795247997854555392011-02-15T16:01:00.000-08:002011-02-15T16:01:59.108-08:00Choosing the right optics<div style="color: #35383d; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;"></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Choosing the right optics for your DIY LED build is <strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">very important</strong>.

There is a wide selection of <a href="http://www.ledgroupbuy.com/categories/Heatsinks/">extruded aluminium heatsinks</a>.<br />
<br />
In a DIY LED lighting project, one thing that is very important in the build is cooling the LEDs. LEDs can last many years at 12hrs a day (10+) but their life expectancy has strong connection to the temperature they run at. The cooler they run, the longer they will last. You can keep your LEDs cool by using aluminium heatsinks to thermally conduct the heat from the LED star to the heatsink it self. The heatsink can also be cooled itself by providing fans by either blowing air down into the heatsink or sucking hot air away from the heatsink depending on the ambient temperature of the room.<br />
<br />
To pickup some heatsinks, you can check them out <a href="http://www.ledgroupbuy.com/categories/Heatsinks/">here</a><br />

<a href="http://www.ledgroupbuy.com/p/warm-white-leds.html">XP-G Warm White price $4.89</a><br />

<b>STATUS: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">OPEN - Closes Jan 3rd</span></b>Mr. LEDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04563193685725482698noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996464078068144446.post-73722290393886784812010-12-10T19:05:00.000-08:002011-01-02T11:41:46.042-08:00Why LED Group buy?<b>I've made this site for one major reason.</b><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">To bring LEDs to the general public at an affordable price!! No more $8+ LEDs.</span><br />
<br />
<b>But why would I want you to use LEDs?</b><br />
<br />
Mainly because they are ridiculously more energy efficient than all other lighting. You not only save the planet but you also save money in energy bills. You also wont need to change an LED for 10 years.<br />
<br />
All of the LEDs ill be offering on group buys are very efficient high output that can be used to light up rooms, grow plants, and aquariums. These are not your cheap china made LEDs, these are high end CREE LEDs. Be warned though, do not just plug these LEDs in, you need heatsinks to keep them cool otherwise because of how much light they can emit, they will get hot and go boom!<br />
<br />
<b>So how does it work?</b><br />
I have contacts in the industry with manufacturers that will give large quantity prices. I leverage these contacts and ask them to give us $$$$ off the already discounted prices if we buy in bulk. I need to order thousands of LEDs at a time for them to pump them out of there manufacturing houses. The idea is that if we gather people around the internet, we can make one mass order and get everyone LEDs at very very very low prices.<br />
<br />
<b>Do I make money?</b><br />
Im not here to make money but I do make a small % to cover the cost of pay pal charges, and software charges. Im really just gathering the power of the internet to acquire a ridiculously good price on LEDs so we can all reduce our costs and save the environment. So you can say I save money with your help.<br />
<br />
You have questions? Or want to know if they work for your application? Just ask them on the comments section and ill do my best to give you good advice.Mr. LEDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04563193685725482698noreply@blogger.com0
