- In this video we'll be making an insanely bright water-cooled LED light that looks remarkably similar to sunlight!
This is because it uses a high quality LED from Yuji which as a high colour rendering index (CRI). Since its completion this project has been used to light every single one of my videos! It's just that good!

I love this videos regardless I don't build anything, but they're quite pleasant to watch.
That is not a pro gamer move.....
Metoo
Your videos are so cool, man.
not just cool... watercooled
Hi
Ouch
Hi ozzy
I watched this video three times now, and I'm pretty confident I could build the custom frame
You remind me of an English Kip Kay lol
The intonation, the style of narration and calm soothing delivery.
Kip Kay's legacy is in good hands!
what ever happened to him
If anyone wondering, there is pre-applied thermal paste on the coldplate between the LED and itself. You should always use some heat conductive paste when cooling transistors, leds, microchip IHSs or microchip dyes.
These videos are really incredible, I don't know any other DIY/build youtuber that is this thorough and clear in their instructions,
and international purchase links? Really top notch.
The level of details for this build is amazing ! Nice work.
Just stumbled across these videos and as a recent graduate of film and television production who is now struggling to enter into the industry these videos are actually amazing, such a life saver, thank you so much! Keep em coming! :)
Your videos prove that watching plugs go into holes filmed at close range is inherently satisfying...
wait a minute
it is always a pleasure to watch your videos. thanks!!!
Excellent video! Superb light output with the reflector & lens. You forgot to add the link to the lens in the video description area. I just used a 100W LED for a project not on YT. The same generic one you show which includes a really nice aluminum enclosed 20-40V driver for under $12.
ye
I did it! I finally did it! I made this light albeit with some modifications like a light stand mount and a bowens mount for light modifiers but I finished it! It's 5:15am right now and I couldn't wait to finish it! Holy crap I can't wait to use this thing!
Wow, that is really looking like sunlight. Amazing! Thanks for this tutorial, I'm going to build one for myself.
i love your user name!
Birds are dinosaurs. Google it.
:?
+Shoulders of Giants birds are birds, dinosaurs are dinosaurs. Completely unrelated
+Jono6671 but dinosaurs are related to chickens, and chickens are birds.
I really can't see why anyone would dislike this. Great job!!
Although more expensive, you made it look a lot better. Keep up the good work.
I will never build something so complex but love watching this project
As a lighting freak, this makes me very happy indeed. Will be making this for sure.
Just to be picky, could you do a comprehensive parts list and put it in the description? For example, the reflector is missing! Thanks!
wow u get the stuff for free already...
If you want to keep the rigidity of the frame, but also have it mountable on bookshelves, you make two tabs with your angle bar and hinge them on the radiator side. That way if you put it on a bookshelf the bars should retract into itself, and if you want to set it on a table, just pull them out. You probably also need to round out the edges that hinge to the radiator side as well to keep it from locking up. Great job. I'm definitely going to build this puppy.
Nice idea!
you should make these into kits and sell it with a dvd
Or a TH-cam link QR code
+-potato no- pretty much everyone who has a smartphone? NFC tag would be better.
Bartosz Olszewski Well, not everyone have smartphone with NFC, so yeah...
this is a fucking genius entrepreneur idea, I love the way you thought of this!
most phones that dont have NFC are bad at reading QR codes anyway
Considering Yuji now uses your video to showcase their LEDs, I think they will respond/have already responded with some bonus LEDs for your next project. Which you'll be sharing with us. Which is nice.
I think Corsair could have sponsor instead. Amazing work as always !!
Yes, they should. I have their H100i AIO and never thought about how it could be used for something like this.
Something to keep in mind if you build this is that computer water cooling solutions are intended for the radiator to be higher than the pump. They are not filled 100% with water (there is some air headroom) and so having the pump above the radiator means that it is often dealing with the air bubble in the system, which reduces cooling. Especially if you mount this to a wall, make sure the light and pump are below the radiator for maximum cooling.
could have vacuum in the system for no air.
_"They're quite expensive"_
Me: Nah, might buy one or two
**checks the website **
F* that Sh*
Be ready to spend around 250 bucks or even more.
the LED is just $83,50... or are you talking about the whole project?
Both. Just 83,50! sorry for being poor.
By that I mean I need those 80 bucks for my gaming.
Ha my exact thoughts. 😂
I'm not saying that it's cheap, but you do get a high quality product at an appropriate price... also you probably aren't the target demographic.
It would be great if it is just $83,50. Add $25 for shipping, and 25% tax in my country plus expenses for local expedited office/customs at about $25, and you end up with $160 for something that is "just $83,50"!
Impressive work, yesterday I was asking myself "Did he stop making new DIY projects?" .... and here you are, don't stop man.
The problem I found after 2 solid years is the fan runs very slow when you plug 11.1v lipo and turning the fan step down dial doesn't do anything
I purchased LEDs sometime ago and regulators. Tried them out and found out about the excessive heating. This is something I have to try in some form. Tight budget won't let me go this route right now, but I have a lot of ideas now.
He can build a batman signal light with that :-)
epSos.de truee xD
Check NighthawkInLight. It became reality now xD
I'm not easily impressed by builds like this, but I have to say that looks nice. The quality if your video itself is A++++ Grade too.
I'm absolutely adding this to my "I'm gonna build the hell out of this some day " list!" :D
I've been watching TH-cam for about 10 years.
This is the best video on TH-cam yet, in every single aspect.
Editing is great
Sound is great
Camera is great
Lighting is great 😉
I really enjoy your videos
Damn, I was waiting for him to CNC the custom bracket out of metal :/
That would have been cool
Isn't it cooler doing it by hand? That way anyone can make it.
+DIY Perks do you want to make a camera jib
+DIY Perks It sure is better. I was genuinely surprised when I found out those plates weren't metal! that was an awesome build, thanks a lot
This is supposed to be a DIY channel. How many people, do you think, have CNC machines?
+DIY Perks ya it is..!!
You are amazing. I am an engineer too. I wish I was taught as good as you were. Wish you all the best
wow, your clip is actually on their site!
yuji
It seems like we'll see a video about a high power and high CRI LED light in the future.
But he isn't a US citisen, is he?
that won´t stop someone in the US from trying to sue him, yuji, or both
It's sponsored:
Link to the Led says "campaign=DIYPerks"
RIP
I onlyly check this channel once in a month and it is always a few hours after an upgrade, just by chance.
Great designers & inventors - keep up the great work!
I don't care much for the LED light, but I really like how you did the video about making it. That's some great lighting, camera work, editing, and commentary. Big thumbs up! Pleasure to watch.
That AIO is gonna die really fast in that configuration. Air bubbles will rise to the pump from the resovoirs in the radiator ends, causing it to burn out
JayzTwoCents
i have no intention in making these things, but i just love watching ur videos all the way through.
You work hard in your videos, not like gaming channels
Amen
Wow! The production quality keeps getting better with every video. Love the cinematics!
Love all the videos. Total newbie and would like to ask where do you get your aluminium sheets , what thickness and size do you buy.
Thats not a DIY anymore, that is a genuine masterpiece product. And because its a product, PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY!
a very great thing! well done :) you get a like and sub!
The only TH-camr who can make me swoon, both geekily and aurally!
Thanks for another fab build! You're an inspiration! :-)
Have you ever considered building a smart mirror? I'd love to see your take on it.
It turned out so good, good suggestion
I've always liked your videos due to the quality of the explanation and clarity of both audio and video. I noticed you don't update as often as other channels, but when you do, it's always a master piece. Quality over quantity! Good job!
any chance of a diy steadycam coming soon?
+Joe M that's I already contacted Matt through that maker app he sponsored, and he said it's in the plans (he actually started this channel with the idea if making a steady cam). true there are a lot of steady cam day tutorials but most of them are nothing more than a glorified weighted handle. And after watching Matt's camera slider I'm really interested to see what he makes next for camera works
+Joe M agreed m8
A 3 axis gimbal would be even more awesome! Matt definitely knows his stuff!
What I'm really looking for is ho to build a brush-less gimbal. There's not a whole lot of resources on how to build one, even though lots of people do it
+javalin597 Yeah I have seen a few diy gimbals, but they have all been a bit sketchy. Matt would make a very clear and informative video if he did make one, could see it being very popular
Why on earth did TH-cam algorithm such a long time to recommend this video !!! Awesome project, going to binge watch all your videos....
i love your video's why don't you upload more often?
You love them because he doesn't upload that often ;)
if you look at the quality then you should atleast imagine how long it takes on planning, filming, experimenting with designs, if something goes wrong you do it again, and then editing. plus personal life.
Think he does other work on the side. Freelance photography, audio recordings and that.
Ahhh, i love hearing a little bit of common sense.
+ADOBEFXPRO i know right
if i'm yuji next day shipping cause this guy is really helping the community .this could help anyone making videos or photo shooting
Maybe because it is not as accurate as directly shutting the leads to measure current.
I love this, but I am struggling with some of the parts. For instance "These goosenecks have a fairly uncommon thread, so we'll need a convertor to a standard 1/4 UNC"
I'm probably novicing this up, but would it be possible to have a comprehensive parts list? The links for components are really great, while happy to deviate slightly from your design slightly, I for one would find this a massive help.
Love your videos!
Parts ordered. I built your flexible LED panel (struggled a lot with that but I got it working last week for a shoot). Looking forward to trying this one out.
Really appreciate all the work you put into your videos, thanks!
nice cut 1:57
Amazing production value matt !! Getting better and better with each video
gonna use this light on my cannabis plants!
nice idea
+TheMichalos lmao
If you really want to do this it wont Work.
PM me if you want me to explain.
+EradWir it will work if you'd use a purple grow led instead of the plain white one
The quality of your videos is amazing. You deserve more views and subs.
Having your pump above the radiator is problematic
Im planning to build one of these. What problems may occur if the pump is above the radiator?
@@Kukimuncher Basically causes the pump to make noise and wear out faster because the air pocket is now in the pump instead of the radiator where it's meant to be
@@ThaSandwitch thanks for the reply!
@@ThaSandwitchi know this is a reaction to all those videos from gamernexus etc but the effect is pretty much negligible.
Every so often I almost forget about your channel and then you come back with an amazing quality video that I love to watch. It would be really cool to see you working with a company to get some of the products you have made and use them as prototypes to develop them into products we could buy.
I know it would lose some of that DIY slightly less refined feel to some of your products but it would be amazing to be able to use some of these things you make
What kind of power sauce to you prefer? I personally prefer Franks. I put that shit on everything.
HP all the way bro.
DIY Perks OMG! HE REPLIED!
I'm ashamed at how loudly this joke made me laugh
You like seriously have the best DIY channel out there...
10/10 Camera work and post production, audio is flawless aswell, let alone the explanation that can't be any better.
Keep it up! :D
Build a few of these in a row and there you go, grow lights :)
Extremely more expensive than necessary for grow lights.
+Bradley0beaver not as efficient or cheap to run though
+Bradley0beaver that's why this isn't a grow light, it's just a really bright cool flashlight of sorts.
Almost thought you were that Geometry Dash guy
+Miles Aurbeck Go take a peak at GrowMau5, Realstyles growing, ChilLed DIY, Greengenes. DIY led is affordable and efficient more so than HPS almost except for DE but we are getting close. This is a bad example of a grow light DIY style. Very excellent light and concept though. LED is the future
HOW can anyone dislike this?
Cool build sir!
$250 for a light like this is still really cheap people.
Can be much cheaper by using a cheaper watercooler, a led doesnt need a 120 usd cooler made for a 600w gaming rig
Like this a lot. I have a Water cooler which I don't use, (too noisy), which will be ideal for this.
Quick check of the two recommended 100W LEDs shows the better one is $130 while the lesser is almost $6.
The cheaper one sounds just fine.
any way to have an alarm go off if the pump or fan fail? Only reason that I ask is if I am going to spend that much on an LED I want an extra layer of security
Perhaps a thermal cutoff. You'd have to put a metal bracket between the contact pads of the cooler and the LED. I'd suggest a block of scrap copper. Put a thermal cutoff mounted to the side. Check the temperature it cuts off at and ensure there is heatsink paste between all 3 surfaces; cooler, led, cutoff. Then run the power wire through the cutoff and then to the LED.
If the copper plate gets too hot the cutoff will stop providing power to the LED. Saving your expensive light.
did you follow the link ? This led can cost as little as $6 USD. Buy a few, overdive them and have fun. I was using one a bike light @ 120w continuous, 300-400w short bursts, great for sketchy night trails. Then again, I did burn a couple out also.
I'm 12 and I built this and it won the engineering fair at my school, don't worry I gave you credit for the design
Does anyone have a quick comment on how to adjust the little voltage regulator to output 12 volts? Also, does anyone know the pin out for the pump? Those are my last two pieces to complete my build. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I need the same info, but looking through the thread it seems Matt stopped responding long ago.
I did see he gives the pin out for the pump at 12:08 and I did find the Fan pin out doing some google searches but I need to verify the info before I start cutting. I'm looking online to find anyone using the voltage regulator to output a certain voltage and there are a few, but I'm not seeing what should be the input value.
That is the pinout for the pump. The fan has 4 wires and has a different way to wire so that it doesn't go crazy fast. That pinout never got put into the description.
You turn the screw on the blue potentiometer until it shows 12v on your multimeter
i always like your videos because of the extreme quality that you provide
Screw that! How much do you want for it?
Pretty sure he wouldn't wanna sell it, since he actually uses it during production. :p
+2007excalibur2007 I know man, I was joking about how complicated the process is
+potato no Potato... No.
Really liked the frame construction!
“Cuts wire to led...”
My reaction: WtF!!!, WtF!!!
first off, you are an amazing human being. your knowledge blows my mind. Second, it would be really helpful on all of your builds to have a light stand mount for the light, some kind of light modifier attachment to the light, and it would be really great to see the light in action in a real life shooting scenario. Maybe some kind of interview with a window in the background, looking outside on a bright day. Then the use of your light to balance out the scene exposure on the interview subject. I'm sure you would need some kind of light modifier because looking towards a light that bright would be squint city. Thank you again, you are a credit to humanity!
83.50$ for LED...not for my wallet.
I was even into doing a water cooled version of his previous sun blaster but I liked it the way he set the power circuits here better, keep up the good work!
So has anyone else actually made this?
No
Nah 160$ for two LEDs is just too much.
For quality lights for video work of similar light output, these are actually very cheap. And if you don't care about CRI (the quality of light and why these LED's are more expensive) and just want a bright flashlight, get the 5$ LED chips off ebay and cut the price of this project in half.
I'll do it just for fun but I don't remember anything about electronics from college, I'll have to figure things about again. Did you do it ?
I just did.
+DIY Perks Already 61 thumb downs... What is it with this hate in principal ?
Sir, I watched every single DIY project of yours. Tried the "Leaf-Lamp" and "Shard-Light" by myself. They are wonderful ideas and even became gifts. Creative, functional, simple and wonderful to have. Personaly i'm not realy into photography but if even the thought of doing so was in my mind than first of al it would be to make the equipment you are presenting.
The way your videos are made, how you speak, explain, show and guide is lovely, straight forward, simple and smooth to follow.
Go on with this channel and show your talents. Your work gives us beautiful gimmicks, makes people happy and surely saves some money without compromising!
2019 anyone?
Dude you should take this in to production, many videographers would love to get their hands on a product like this.
These boards are incredibly robust and well made - I bought my first a few months ago off AliExpress, as part of a project to upgrade a 12v Ni-mh powered Quad-copter to use Li-po's instead.
The boost converter pcb's are etched onto an Aluminium board that is perfect for heat-dissipation. I'll be grabbing a few more at this price. The links are bookmarked thank you! (Hong Kong supplier)
I made something similar, with the 120mm radiator used you actually don't need to use the fan as passive cooling of the radiator alone is enough to keep the LED cool. although depending on the density and thickness of the radiator used in the all in one liquid cooling solution you choose your results may be different.
I love you shared your data! I plan on upgrading mine with your bracket design!
I wonder if this could be used for growing plants indoors, or on overcast days. This has great potential. Thank you for making this video.
Lol, look up hydroponics. You don't really need a light in this form factor or this intense to grow things indoors.
Or just make friends with your local weed grower and ask to see his basement haha
Would definitely like to see you build a diy steadicam and follow focus. Love your work!
I think placing the fan upside down (exhaust up) will provide lower temps as heat tends to go upwards anyways. What you are doing now is pushing the hot air down which will eventually come up again. As this is not a pc case and is in an open air environment the impact wont be huge, but I am sure that you will notice a small thermal benefit.
Like, I literally will never do this, norwill I ever do any of your videos, as it doesn't really benefit me etc. But regardless, I still watch it because who knows? idk, you make it entertaining even though I don't really care about said project, quite a gift lol.
The work you put into your projects and the quality of your videos is absolutely mindboggling! Just so you know, I will be subscribed for life.
Yuji Yuji Yuji! Support this guy and his awesome projects! :-)
these videos are super cool but your voice is so relaxing I like to go to sleep to them
I found your channel a few months back and I'm liking what I see keep up the great work
Very nice. It has got a Sentinel vibe about it.
One of the best channels for DYI. Love your videos man, your editing, and of course your voice! Keep Going :)
That's one hell of a bright idea!
Nothing but quality everything on this channel
this may seem pretty insignificant to most people, but I've been trying to figure out the name to those xt60 connectors forever. thanks for taking the time to mention the name!
xt60 connectors have been around for awhile in the world of rc, but I actually much prefer Deans or traxxas style connectors. give them a look and see for yourself which you like more.
+Bennett Raymond I really like the traxxas ones! thanks for sharing! I'm definitely using those on my next project!
Wow, that thing is baller. I'm loving these uses of consumer PC cooling outside of PCs. Cheap, effective, reliable, ubiquitous and idiot-friendly. I really need to stop making excuses and build something.
If the Daisies opened up then this is spot on Sunlight and not just our eyes fooling us, or the camera.
daanng! that time lapse with flower is fvckng awesome!!!
I'm jealous now - this build is just genius! :-)
Btw: For 30V of LED voltage you would need a 9S LiPo at least (8,3S at 3,6V/cell discharge end). So a step up regulator is the more convenient solution... ;-)
I literally just bought all the stuff to convert my led from aircooled to water cooled using alot of the same stuff you did. Instead of using a radiator, I'm using a 1 gallon resevoir as a heat sink and a 12v pump to get flow. I'm hoping to mount it onto of my car to make the ultimate light bar.
This guy has the best lighting in the whole TH-cam game
I really liked your cinematography man! Great work! The intro b roll was epic.
