Time to wait again.. haha,

[Severum]

Holy geez! Run your nano tank off of 2 LEDs!

[JetJumper]

I think with all these changes.. I am going to hold off for now.  I will get myself a 175watt Ballast and a nice 14K bulb and make due with that for now.  I can't afford to do both right now, and I am going to need to setup a lighting system with in a months time frame.  So consider me out of LED's for now.  maybe 6months from now?

So anyone interested in this again? Still?

I am seriously wanting to go this way for my sons small SW tank.

I'm still interested in some cree leds and drivers.

Just 2 weeks ago I ordered from them.  Quick Shipping as it only took a few days to come in.  Depending on the price of what you can get LED's at I might order some extra's to swap my MaxSpect LED fixture.  Let me know if a group order starts.

Thanks

[Severum]

Is this order going to be in conjunction with one from say... heat sink USA? Might as well get all the parts needed when there is a big group interested.

Sadly XMs and XPGs still don't come in blues.

[HomerJ]

I'm willing to take care of compiling who wants what and contacting RapidLED to get a quote.  PM me what you want, and I'll add it to this post as we go.

I was thinking of going this route but not 100% sure yet:

Sorry if I moved too much this got really big way too fast. This thread is for organizing the group buy.

I've noticed a lot of people are still interested in LED's. If you are planning on a DIY then there is a site dedicated to group buy's of LED's. Not sure what kind of prices you will come up with from RapidLED but this group buy site is the cheapest iv'e found. They have the XP-G's and the XP-E's for under $5 each.

Cheap LED's can be found at: http://www.ledgroupbuy.com/


Heatsinks and drivers will have to be sourced elsewhere but still not a bad deal. Just wanted to share !

Also, I've added a few interesting reads on DIY LED fixtures in the Saltwater General Discussion. might be worth a read http://ovas.ca/index.php?topic=47737.0
