  • @rajpadhi1
    @rajpadhi1 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice video, but I have some doubts about the safety of this light setup. How do you take care of sealing the exposed electrical components from the water that would evaporate and then accumulate on the led strip. The user might get a shock if he touches the wet led light. Need to solve this issue. I also have a doubt that the lumens is enough to penetrate to the bed of a tank with the height of 24 inches or more..

    • @madebykm
      @madebykm  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      1. This light is completely safe, there is no doubt about that. First, I've been using this light for a long time, never seen it get wet due to moisture. This light is about 6 inches above the surface of the aquarium water. Second, no sane person would touch it or its wires when the light is on. Again, the LED strips and wires are placed in such a way that there is no way it will touch the user's hands while working in the aquarium. But the main reason why these lights are absolutely safe is that these LED strip lights run on 12V DC only. So, even if someone intentionally touches these LED strips or the wires or even its connection points while the light is on, that person will never get an electric shock.
      2. In this video, I have shown only the method of making such light and I have made this light according to the size of my aquarium and according to my requirements. The height of my aquarium is 30cm. Here the light is reaching the substrate bed quite well. So, naturally, the number of LED strips should be increased according to the size of the aquarium and to get the desired output.
      Check the description box of the video for more information. Thank you.

    Just wondering if you're still using these lights. I made something like this a few months ago and noticed a lot of diodes fail due to lack of an aluminum channel or heatsink to dissipate heat. Added some channels and now they're fine.

    • @madebykm
      @madebykm  ปีที่แล้ว

      It will depend on what quality LED strip you buy, because the lumens / brightness of LED strips vary according to different brands and their quality. So, you need to tell me the lumens per foot of the LED strip light, then I can advise you how many strips you need for your tank.

  • @bijanmozafari3826
    @bijanmozafari3826 ปีที่แล้ว

    do you expect any issues with making this on glass instead of aluminum?
    and
    is there somewhere for the heat to escape? or will the diodes eventually fail?

    • @madebykm
      @madebykm  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have been using this light to this day and have had no problems. These LED strips do not heat up so much that an aluminum profile is needed.

    • @madebykm
      @madebykm  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes you are right, red, blue and even green LED strips can be used here, but I didn't use it because I wanted to make this light for general fish tanks and low tech planted tanks and also wanted to make it at a very low cost. That’s why I only used 6500K white LED strips. Low light aquarium plants will have no problem growing in this light.
      I want to make another LED light where I will use these color LED strips with white LED strips and use dimmers to control individual color strips. There, I will try to do what you said. Thank you 😊

      and yeah I'd definitely put some green too on for a good balance , i like the way u roll , diy all the way those conventional overpriced lights are literally the same leds.

      I will also measure the PAR when I build the light. Thank you 😊
