Who used whom and what do you all recommend? :) I was planning rapid, but I saw that reef "bins the LEDs " to avoid yellowish whites or "flat" royal blues. I don't know if Rapid does this or not. I've also read that the meanwell drivers, after ramping to zero% output, and removing 120vac...

Hello, I am planning on doing a moonlight kit from RapidLED. Instead of the pre made moonlight kits they offer, I would like do do my own on a dimmable driver. I have heard of people incorporating a few UV lights into the moonlight system and was wondering if anyone has any opinions on whether...

Im upgrading my lights on my 55 gallon reef to leds. Would this be enough? and can i have more then one color led on a single driver. RB-royal blue-w-warmwhite-uv-ultravilot-r-red b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b b-w-b-w-b-w-b-w-b-w uv-r-uv-r-uv-r-uv-r-uv-r Would that be possible and can i grow...

I'm a newbie and working on my new 125g reef tank. It's a 72" long 18" wide and 22" deep tank. I want to go LED and from everything I read/compared, RapidLED seems like a good option. I'm very handy at working with electrical/mechanical and soldering won't be a problem. I am looking at their...

I am finally going through with an upgrade. I bought a friends unused 75 gallon tank for $75 and will be using a 40B for a sump. I will DIY the stand for it because 1. I need the stand to be big enough to house the 40B sump 2. I don't feel like paying $600 for a nice stand and canopy that...

I'm going to be placing my order right RapidLED soon and I want to make sure I've gotten everything squared away. I think I will need more than 24 LED's but I won't need 48 so can I just order the 24 kit and the 12 kit and put them together? I wasn't sure if they would work that way with the...

My brother-in-law recently setup a 9g nano tank. We built the main light using a 12 LED rapidLED kit and he ordered 4 colored LED's (Red, Cyan, Orange, and Green) with the 350mA moonlight driver they sell to use as an additive to his RB / CW main light. Getting to the point, 350mA is a bit...

OK, I have been holding off on this because it was backordered but... My new LED kit will be shipping today :dance: Ok, I ordered a 24 LED solderless kit from rapidLED along with a 6x20 heatsink. This will hopefully replace my 175MH and with the high summer temps coming on, reduce the...

So today a site called mouser.com created a contract with cree to be a mass supplier of products. What does this mean? $1.62 for XP-E and $2.30 for XP-G bulbs if you get a big group buy instead of $5.00 each... Also you could get 60-48D drivers for $32...

I decided to make my build all in one post so people can find everything about what I am doing, without reading through a ton of comments first. I will throw all of the things I think I forgot in post #4 as the post progresses so that way people can follow up without having to reread a lot of...

So I started to do a write up as I was doing my DIY LED Build and I figured I would check with everyone and make sure I am not making any grave mistakes (don't worry, I will do a cleaner build write up later). Tell me what you think so far: I purchased: Quantity Item Description...

So I was looking for people to do a group buy from rapidled.com with me and I collected a bunch of info. Since this is my favorite forum, I figured I would share it here as well...

Anyone interested in buying some LED's from rapidled? I'm not sure if we can but I saw a old post on a different site where some people did a group buy.
