LED project 300 L

[Ricard Fraidias]

hi all. First of all sorry my English because I am Spanish and use google translator.

I show my new LED screen. is manufactured with recycled material found in a dumpster, it would be of any trade that has closed since the economy.
They are a case of hanging lamps T8 I found several units and after looking at them I saw a modification possible to transform into a more or less nice led screen for freshwater aquarium.
these are some of the screens found. The first thing to do was to cut 2 pieces lengthwise, using the top rail to be hung I use to place between the opposite side and an aluminum profile as a junction. once this is done .. in the bottom where there is a iran leds profile just to support a 1mm aluminum plate as a mask for the LEDs. on top taking advantage of a junction that had after cutting .. Can I put a 3mm aluminum plate to perfection where you will be joining with the relevant ceiling bracket with towropes.
once we have done this ... more or less a visually more similar to an aquarium screen structure. presents some of the units in the mask led 1mm to see proper disposal.
And I've also handmade one side which harbored any fan unit for ventilation and 2 more units in the upper plate of 3mm. but for now here I hope to keep up with her soon.

Hi!

Welcome Ricard!

This height is enough to heatsink + LED + lens + coolers?

You'll put some protection for LED's as glass or acrylic?

Bes regards.

hi fernando. the height is sufficient if yesterday buy new heatsinks. a dissipative bars 1200mmx100x20 measures have purchased 3 units to be joined by way of a sink together. LEDs are protected with eyeglasses simply protected with 1mm aluminum plate. the picture you have shown is the top floor which was used to mask mode .. is the same plate which in previous photos has all the markings of where the power led about iran. said plate must be drilled all the circles of power led and just poked the top of the lens. Not if you know what I mean .. just be a trim to cover cables .. Sinks .. etc.etc.

Hi!

Understood.

Something as this but, with aluminium.

Best regards.

[Ricard Fraidias]

Carries out, as in my previous screen ... exactly the same method .. first Carries out all drilling in the aluminum plate 1mm. once the mask passeth sinks brands to fit 100% so

I hope so dispel any doubts ..

[Ricard Fraidias]

thanks for the comments .. I hope you like the work once finished.

a little update today .. I had to cut out a professional 2 longitudinal bars and put them squarely since I cutting radial saw.

once done this ... I have resubmitted the whole .. with sinks to know that storage do I have to place ventilation .. but I think that will be enough.

the white color looks fantastic, light gray may look good too but I wouldn't change it

[Ricard Fraidias]

white color having right now is the color of old aluminum itself. have to repaint the whole again. the final color will be white this is decided

[Ricard Fraidias]

I update the post a little more these days .. I made a test and I hung structure led display your location to see the result, even without paint and I like the look, not much difference is seen with small 6xt5 transformed jajajaja.tuve led a number of problems when making holes in the ceiling as a measure to take a wrong reference, but nothing that a little repair can not fix.

some pictures ..

[Willie McDaries]

that looks really nice man, the extra holes in the ceiling will be an easy fix with some dry wall compound

[Ricard Fraidias]

hi all .. as of today I still soldering leds on the screen and have little time. but the little time I have I also decided to start with the installation of a tubular motor for driving the LED display. I used a very economical engine 20nm RF purchased on ebay. an axis of 60mm.
The electrical installation is to test provisional. After the installation a covered aluminum will be held to cover the entire drive system.
You have some pictures and a video.

hi all .. I update the post a little more since I have some more progress.

I show you some pictures of the pulleys that I had to make to fit 60mm shaft

also I show and finally finished with all leds installed with their respective lenses screen. you have some pictures to lack of paint for you to see how the lenses are installed and shaped with protective mask

I hope soon to design the top cover to hide the tubular motor and send to paint the whole
hope you like the progress.
greetings.
