3W Bridgelux LED's

Hopefully you can steer me in the right direction. I have 2 x 120w Tao Tronic LED fixture's that include only the blue & white spectrum's. I'm seriously considering swapping some of the LED's out in hopes to make some overall improvements. However, I'm unsure where to purchase swappable replacements for a perfect fit in the fixture. Any ideas? If you sell the LED's individually, please let me know how to proceed with doing so. I appreciate the assistance.

 

You might want to keep the fixture "stock" and look into DIY supplement lighting. For example you adhere black anodized heatsink to the side of your current fixture with CREE Leds. I know you mentioned Bridgelux but personally I'v used CREE with success.

Heatsinks: Heatsinks - 1.4" Width - Black Anodized - Rapid LED

 

It is relatively simple to add colored diodes. I would add 2 630nm reds, 2 660nm reds, 2 520nm greens, 4 470nm blues, and 4 420nm violets to the white channel. in each fixture.

 

you may need to look at the drivers. I fried a whole string of led's cuz I ran too much power through them. I did a diy led fixture and the uv's cyans and greens all ran at different mah's. The blues and whites were the highest.

 

That is not the case here, you likely ran yours at 1000ma+, well beyond the tolerance of bridgelux LEDs.

 

Excellent! Thanks for the suggestion. However, do you know where I can purchase them?

 

High Power LEDs - Single Color | Mouser

Optoelectronics | LEDs - High Brightness, Power | DigiKey

These are two sites you can buy the individual colors from for pretty cheap and they come not on stars so easy mounting right to your fixture.

 

Thanks for the links! Without breaking open one of the fixture's before I order, any idea which of those are a direct fit? I was assuming it was the star type.

 

You can get them at LEDgroupbuy.com, or aquastyle LEDs, you just have to remove them from the star. Bridgelux diodes are much larger than crees, so be sure you buy that brand.

 

Awesome, thanks so much! I know who to go to if I have any other questions. =)
