Genius and Geeky all at the same time! I am currently looking for replacement LED pads for my Maxspect razor #3. Can't find them. Coralvue is out of stock. Can't wait to see your final product!
That’s a cool diy but I would use thermal paste to adhere the puck to the heat sink. Also check the puck it might have the power rated stamp on it that will give you an idea how big of a power supply you need my biggest concern when doing these thing is making sure your current (amps ) isn’t to much for the board
Thanks for the tips! I don't see any power ratings on the board, but the original power supply which ran two led pads was 24V 156W. That should come out to 6.5A. My power supply is rated at 12V, 1.5A. I am assuming that means I am way under driving the board. Do you see any issues with that?
What happent with the original light fixture? Why did u change the leds pucks in the first place? I have the same light 320w 4foot, and my blue leds died on 3 leds pucks( they are still light up but like 1% very faded at 100% intesity), offcours the other half works perfectly fine. What do u advide me to do? Please help me with an advise. Thank you.
Same thing really. One of the blue LEDs burned out on the pad and it took out the entire Blue channel. The only real solution I found was to contact the manufacturer and buy new LED pads. Swapping them out was an easy process.

I'm with Billy. I cant wait for part 2! Everything is falling together nicely.
Can't wait for part 2!! Hurry up bro
be patient. lol
Nice video can't wait for the next one.
Very cool ! Nothing goes waste!
Man that's cool can't wait to see how it turns out looks like it's going to work really good👊💯
Wow awesome keep up the good work and awesome ideas
Aswome idea when you get it done your going to have a powerful light for the corals in that tank.👍
Great video i think this is one for my husband i know nothing about electronics
And that's why I don't throw anything away. It looks like a baby black box. Awesome. You could even replace the bad led on the other module.
It looks really cool spy and has a lot of potential. I love it when a spy plan comes together..lol
Nice project !

ReefSpy I think you’ll be fine I use a 1a power supply in a diy scrubber and it works fine for months now and it only has 5 LEDs
I'm curious, go ahead part 2
Hope it works for you because I have 8 razor pucks from having to replace them. been thinking about doing this thank you
Pete Palazzolo cool! it looks like this is going to work. Next video I will show the PWM circuit I made. So far the results look good. Stay tuned!
👊👍
Did you test these on your corals, like did they grow?
I used them for a little while, but I replaced it with a Kessil A80 light. Its much better.
Like sempre!

@@ReefSpy thank you. So this is what I'm gonna do. Buy new led pads.
Birleanu Cezar cool. I would speak with their tech support first, in case it is some other cause. In my case it was a dead blue led.
If you keep banging it against the desk it ain't going to work at all!!
First lol
