[background=rgb(245, 245, 255)]Hi,[/background]

[background=rgb(245, 245, 255)]I am currently finishing by lighting hood for my aquarium and thought I would share my plans on here for people to cast there eyes on and make sure it is ok:[/background]


[background=rgb(245, 245, 255)]I am planning on using 36x Cree XR-E Cool White & 36x Cree XR-E Royal Blue Leds, so a total of around 72 Cree Leds, these are rated at 3.6 Volts at 700ma.[/background]

[background=rgb(245, 245, 255)]My Led matrix would be 6ft long by 1Ft wide, this would be split into 6 panels in total, each panel would have, 6 Cree XR-E Cool White and 6 Cree XR-E Royal Blue Leds in each panel, these leds would [/background]
[background=rgb(245, 245, 255)]then be attached to there own heatsink and fan, these are rated between 5w to 10w, they are around 2.17 x 2.17 Inch square with a small fan fitted, was thinking about these:[/background]

[background=rgb(245, 245, 255)]The heatsinks are pre-drilled ready for Cree Leds.[/background]

[background=rgb(245, 245, 255)]These heatsink would then be mounted into the hood with vent holes for the fans to draw cool air.[/background]

[background=rgb(245, 245, 255)]These leds would be wired in series with a quick blow anti-surge fuse in each panel, these would be powered with a 1amp 48V Dc 60 Watt transformers x 6[/background]

[background=rgb(245, 245, 255)]Does you think this design would work correctly or are there anything that the users of this forum would change?[/background]

[background=rgb(245, 245, 255)]Hope this explains a little to you, if not, I will try a better explantion next time[/background]

[background=rgb(245, 245, 255)]Thanks to everyone who replys.[/background]
