28 LED Wide Spectrum Build with MakersLED Heatsink

The heat sink has finally arrived! After waiting through the whole Kick Starter campaign and over a month of delays, it finally got to me today. It looks amazing, can't wait to see it over the tank.

Here are some shots of the heat sink.

Now time to get started.

 

Yeah! Congrats Mike!!!! Pull an all-nighter tonight!!

 

Cool looking heat sink.

 

I hope I get enough done where I won't have to do one, but I had to make a Lowes run, so barely starting now!

 

Awesome, that thing started a few weeks after my led build, I would've waited for those, they look great

 

I know Cosmo! You started right before they were announced. I've been waiting forever though, I'm surprised I had the patience.

Here are all of the screws in place


Here is my mock up of placement. RB and B are blue, CW is black, V and UV are purple, Cyan is green, and Red is orange. Any thoughts?

 

I think its gonna look awesome, and man do I want that heatsink

 

how many and which model of drivers are you using with the typhon?

 

When its all cranked up, it would be 28x3 watts= 84watts, however, it doensnt really mean anything. This is a very well thought build plan, if you ask me. What makes you think the heatsink is waste??

I smell something fishhhyyyy...

 

Green and red are harder to mix. You should place them right next to whites.
