RE: [APD] LED lighting with Luxeons (preliminary results)

[Sean Kettle <kettles at videotron_ca>]

Being a computer modder, I'm familiar with Luxeon LEDs.

These LEDs produce an insane amount of heat.  So much so that it is
recommended to have them paired up with a heatsink.

I would be concerned that a cluster of these LEDs would do the same thing as
incandescent lighting; heat up the tank.

I'd be interesting in seeing how far from the water's surface the LEDs are,
and what the monitored temps are the test tank are.

If you haven't seen the thread already...

Here is a thread where I have pics of the setup as well as pics comparing
light intensities vs PC lights.
