- In part two of the 1kW water-cooled LED module build, I'm claiming the record for the world's most powerful LED light with all five 1kW modules assembled into a single testbench unit. The modules are also shown in the final installation.

I want something like this! Light up the whole yard and I wont have to stop filming just because the sun went down.
Rip eyes
Cody'sLab it also goes into what supplies, even for lighting, that you have available to work with. as a light bulb collector, I have all the bulbs I need, I just need to find myself more sockets, mounting brackets, ballasts for the gas discharge lamps, and whatever other required electrical equipment in which I also have yet to find and save up for
Would be awesome!.
Uh you can light an entire stadium with that thing.
Get a crane as well, that way the viewers wont even notice
I remember a guy at a 'party' that had an inverter the size of a small fridge in the back of his mini van, it was running an old arc light from a theater. the huge light was mounted to the roof racks and it was rated at 20 K. The inverter was on fire and I told him, he didn't seem to worried as this was happening periodically. He did put the fire out, but did not stop running the light.
Did he look like Doc Brown from Back to the Future?
Impressive! I built a 1.6kW myself a few months ago, and I had to abandon the lenses because of that yellow circle. I thought it was an optical "stretch" of the light with the higher angle of refraction on the edge, but thanks a lot for the tip!
Also, how did you fix the lens holders in place with the lenses like that? Thanks! :)
Nice start to a killer grow room.
joe banana exactly!! Controled climate with the power of the sun essentially!.. Grow some indoor monsters!
You're right about the "killer" part as it would probably fry the plants into oblivion xd
Using manual exposure and then turning the LEDs off, leaving only the normal celing lamps, was a good idea. It really made it clear how wild those LEDs are. Cool stuff!
A few things you might want to think about
Water wetter, it's not a type of anti-freeze, but it breaks down the surface tension of water, improving heat transfer
Also, by chaining the water blocks like that, some array's will be getting hotter then others, possibly significantly so.
Sections of copper tubing in the straight sections could help add some additional cooling and help with the sagging issue if your ever running those cooling lines again in the future.
Is it possible to get the fluid TOO cold by using ice, etc?
The thermal transfer is probably far too slow between the LED/heatsink/water, I imagine even with ice water the LEDs would not be affected in any way.
I've cracked LEDs like these cooling them with liquid nitrogen, so yes XD
"Reasonable" temperatures should be fine, the limit is probably having them get covered in condensation or frost. This LED stack would melt about 600g of ice per minute, so it would take a lot of ice too.
How about smaller heater core sized radiators in between each set of lights. Although I know that's probably more work than it's worth.
Fabulous. This is why I love the internet. And thank goodness there are people like Tesla500 doing this stuff so I don't have to.
Ok, you've officially sent one of your prototype cams to everyone of my favorite youtube channels. I shall take a gander and sub.
4:40 watching the water go was really cool! but then again this whole thing is pretty cool.
Antifreeze seems to glow very brightly under UV. I suppose they put the dye in it.
Extremely handy for finding coolant leaks.
bro your invention could be soon adopted in stadiums lightings. 10/10, you're the best.
just read a bunch of new articles about your camera! awesome stuff, hope is is a huge success!
I've been playing with one, I think it will be. ;)
holy cow Cody, you had a comment fly under the radar for 2 whole weeks. Pretty excited for some wicked high fps shots.
Awesome video, great project. The IIHS video was fascinating too. Also your cat is adorable. :3
I love how the normal florescent shop lights look so dim with the LED lights on. The camera is stopped down so far that the FL lights look burned out! Very cool.
I admire your set up, layout, and workmanship. Most excellent.
One feature you must add is the use of coolant instead of water. Should drop temperature about 15%.
For 5KW, that is an outstanding array. I rigged a similar array for my wife in her art endeavors. I'd guesstimate 2 to 4 times incandescent power requirement for the same coverage.
Here is a trick for you. We needed full or modified spectrum of color in her studio. I painted the entire ceiling with the entire spectrum rainbow. Then reflecting some of the light off the ceiling, six 500 watt portable halogens in my case, we could add some or all of the color spectrum as desired. Absolutely fantastic for getting to proper skin tone and color of the models regardless of their natural skin color.
Make yourself a little supply and return manifold so the cooling blocks are piped in parallel. I promise you that you will not be disappointed with your temperatures. Great build!
This is insane! In a wonderful kind of way :D Love it! Nice to see people out there making practical innovations and putting together tech in new and interesting ways. Keep up the very interesting innovations! You've earned another subscriber. :)
Stainless stencil would be good for the masks
Great idea! Thanks
what about fiberglass or something similar that is more like paper but more fire resistant
Perhaps automotive gasket paper could work as a mask too, designed for high temp & might be able to cut it with a laser. This stuff for example is good to 1200F www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/MRG0/77/N0488.oap?pt=N0488&ppt=C0137
That is mica, but it is not opaque but translucent, but is a good insulator so the led units do not short out with a stainless steel mask.
Empty cans of beer (or soft drinks) can do the job for free!
Is it just me or is watching the water rush through the tubes calming?
How are amazing! Respect!! :D
Greetings from Spain
Seriously great work man. I'm envious of your sun beam!
750kW of incandescent lighting in the automotive safety lab. That's just crazy amount of light!
More like a crazy amount of heat energy.
@@UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ 7000 amps. assuming it's AC power. Even more if it's 12V DC.
excellent light and excellent camera.......it handled the light perfectly
Thanks. That was fun to watch.
awesome work buddy WOW
Great test set up. The charring of the cut out indicates of a lot of heat in the LED chips. Keep up the good work.
The future of stadium lighting right there in your garage. Very impressive.
LED's are cool... but I love the tech behind the Vortek arc lamp... that thing is insane.
I need his set up in my garage to work on my car. The shadows! The SHADOWS! NOOOO
Wow, that's impressive! Maybe an aquarium chiller for the reservoir would be a good next step
Thumbs up for the setup and thumbs up for Trixi. :3
great video man! i love playing around with LEDs too! thanks for the tip about the ring matte!
This is one of the best looking "super" led builds ive seen. I just finished making one this week but mines only air cooled and runs one 100w led
LOVE your videos!!! Great Work! Discovered you from Cody's Lab
i work in a theater with stage lighting. i'm pretty sure this light you've built is brighter than all of our stage lights put together.
Luke from linustechtips in 5 years time
Derpy Hoves never wore her safety goggles, now she doesn't have to XD
YOU ROCK MAN!! Liked and subscribed!
you deserve wayyyyyy more subs sir.... And that camera will change the face of youtube.
you should share his videos everywhere....!
Well done! Funny to think about how much energy it takes to make a bright sunny day..
Great video my dear friend!
Now just hook it up to the slab heating in the floor. Awesome video man.
Love the cat :) and nice lighting setup
AMAZING VIDEO!!! ;)
If your application is for filming only, you could evaluate synching your camera shutter with a control circuit, which will enable (open) the current to the LEDs only when needed (24, 30, 50 or 60fps) and at a duty-cycle (DC) of your choice. A few opto checks will setup the DC for each shot. That will save a considerable amount of electrical power without compromising the light levels perceived by the camera sensor. You've done a remarkable project. My regards
I had thought of that, but these are being used for high-speed filming, with several cameras running at different frame rates. This makes is basically impossible to do this because the shutters never line up due to the different frame rates.
Ever thought about putting plasterboard on the garage? It would probably help with the lighting too with the reflections.
Nice done,
Now you have the power of the sun in your garage. Cold winter day? Fire up your lights, get your lawn chair, and lay back with a drink.
That was impressive! Those floureschent lights in the ceiling look like they where off
- and those usually give off quite much light compared to "normal" indoor lighting.
I also know those tube halogen lamps of 1 kW
- now think of LEDs thats so much more efficient. Each module is like 5-6 times that light, LOL! Perfect for high speed filming.
Did you realise you are probably the only guy in the world having a water cooling installed in his garage ceiling ?
Linus would love this
He isn't.
:D
burgersnchips yea he would :D
Linus and Dave are in the same city too.
I have water cooling system in my basement,using walls as radiator
amazing... thanks for share
oooh what an exciting lightbulb :) :)
God this is Beautiful and so AWESOME!!!
You blinded me through the interweb!
Looks good. Make sure youre treating the water in the loop to prevent nasties from growing. Thatll be one hell of a mess to deal with if you have to pull it all apart and clean everything:)
You could use that setup in a large venue to help people who suffer with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD for short), it's as bright as a sunny summers day, that's a given!! :D
The idea with the masking is pretty neat. I have to try this.
Have you measured the actual temperature directly at the led in this setup?
A water temperature of 70°C is pretty high and even while your led mounts seem really good, the leds are probably getting a bit too hot for long term operation.
WOW! Now THAT is what i call "proper lighting"
you win.. good job
Way cool, man :D
Bring it on! Too cool.
Nicelly done sir, you are awesome.
Man, you're damn crazy! Simply one of the best jobs I've seen on youtube. Please Explain the electrical system with details. How do you control the Current and Voltage?
this is awesome
Awesome project! Wouldn't it be easier to use pc water cooling stuff and equip each light with its standalone cooling system and avoid the water distribution pipes all over the place? Thanks for the great content!
derpy never wore her safety goggles... yessss 6:03... omg you named your cat trixie :D
See people like this guy can change the world
Oh yeah, one more trick for your water system, try a product called 'water wetter' it's basically a surfactant that helps break the surface tension of the water in the boundary layer of the heat sink and heat exchanger. It's usually used in cars and it does make a difference, it's like 8 bucks for a bottle.
That is so freakin cool, his name has Tesla in it!
I need these for working on cars in my garage!
@2:50 you could find thin gasket material such as for automotive use. Although it may be to thick for this application. The nice part is the heat range it can tolerate .
lol youve got some fancy lighting equipment XD
that cat is awesome :D
Wow. Nice. Although, I should mention that your cooling system should be connected in a "star" configuration rather than in series. The way it's shown in the video, that last set of LED's is going to be running WAY hotter than the first set.
I am impressed :-)
amazing lights! thanks for description about thermal breaker, my microwave oven have a same one... and this is a my problem - which dont turned on a oven ))) i just replace this small device and my microwave - bake against!
Insane in the mem-color spectrum
1:26 N I C E
Sometimes you gotta say it when nobody else will
pawsome build
Very very nice job!!! And kudos for doing all the appropriate measurements! But how do you plan to evacuate air bubbles out of all that tubing?
They get pushed through the tubing by themselves and bubble to the surface in the reservoir.
tesla500 Nice!!!
Don't take this negative because I love what you're doing. I would measure the current because if those are cheap Ebays, there is no way they're 1kw
I did check, they are running at full current. These are the slightly more expensive, not-quite-garbage ones that actually work reasonably well.
Awesome. -- I just saw a video where some had been tested and I was shocked at the lack of quality. Keep up the good work! -- Maybe think about running the coolant in parallel and use anti-freeze for better heat absorption.
tesla500 I was thinking instead of using tin foil to mask the edge of the LED chips, why not try a non metallic non stick oven cooking sheet. They are thin, easy to cut to shape and made to sit at very high temperatures for long periods.
it would be really cool to take this to a stadium or open field at night and see how it illuminates the place
hey man! super amazing work! very impressive! what do you do for a living? and what would you ballpark the value of your lighting setup to be? (including all labour, which for you seems to be mostly a passion project!)
I like to only be a Patreon for my top 3 favorite channels but I went to check your Patreon out and I cant believe you only get $39 donated to you casue (SO I had to throw a few buck your way, keep up the cool videos) ... I love you tear downs and even more your builds like this....
Wouldn't a flat tube radiator be better , great job by the way i like led but you take it to the next level .
Awesome!
Love the old Tree J425? in the corner.
I wonder... Why won't you use automotive radiator as a cooler? They come with 12V fans, taking a big one with two fans and running them at lower voltage would provide plenty of cooling and quiet operation.
One thing you could do to get a bit more radiator area is to replace some of the tubing runs with copper pipe. It would actually clean up the way that it looks, and the tubing itself would effectively become another radiator.
Your cat at 6:00 was like "I'm Blind!!!"
Well that sure beats mine
Sad, I thought your video was amazing before I saw the bigger lights.
Sam sheppard RIP
RIP
06:00 the cat, lol
Best part of the whole video lol!
It is now blind
Behold the great and powerful Trixie!
Cats were very sensitive to light(that's why they can see perfectly in the dark)
I would be interested to see if you get any 'phase banding' or 'flicker' from these lights when shooting at very high frame rates for slow motion, have you shot any tests yet?
None at all, these are completely flicker free.
The sagging issue with the tubing underlines an potential of it failing or developing leaks. Fiber reinforced Tygon tubing that is rated for hot water applications may be in order for your needs.
Also, you may want to consider re-plumbing and making it all parallel instead of series, using a valving manifold. This will also solve your cooling issues as well.
You should color the water, would probably look amazing, also film it when put the color in, would be fun to watch it go through the clear tubing.
If you add some coloured LED's to the clear cooling hoses that run around your garage, you be well on the of making a Star Trek Borg TV set😉, great project always enjoy watching someone pushing technology to its limit's.
@06:00 The cat is probably wondering why it is being interrogated.
Good work @tesla500 this is interesting.
Saw this on codys lab, cool vid
same
i think water supply which is connected in series can be an issue with light connected at last and second last. may be it could reach its working temperature. but i suggest to have all water lines in parallel discharge and return connected header. and to enhance same setup for lower temperature you can add thermo-electric cooling plates .
So this is how you got all those Slo Mo vids with your cam....That cam was awesome btw....I wish I could be an intern in your garage,...lol...im not joking btw
the metal to frame the leds to fix the yellowing will build more heat perhaps look into a style called nomax (sp?) that they use for firefighters protective gear.
