    Re: Insane 10W LED light for Nano tank...

    By the way, one thing I still have doubt.
    Why is the LED casing so hot as in like 50 degree when touch... If the power consumption is only 10W, it should not be that hot.. My T5 21Wx4 are not even that hot when touch.. If only someone have a power measurement to measure the consumption whether it is 10W as stated. Beware china product sometime can be misleading as they may not present all the information in a product.. Later if you use this and switch on for long hours and assume only 10W, then when PUB bill come.. You will jump! Just my 2 cents of concern.

    Re: Insane 10W LED light for Nano tank...

    Because it is LED. LED generate heat on its electrode, that is why all high power LED will required heat sink. I cant comment on this 10W model though, never have one.

    T5 generating heat in all around. Just imagine all the heat generated by T5 was collected into one small area, it is probably will be as hot as LED.

    Also, note that LED's is driven by amperage, not wattage. A 3W LED can be a miserable 0.5amp or a high powered 3amp monster.
    In both cases, the heat and light output (taking into the efficiency of the LED chip), can be vastly different.

    For highly efficient and powerful LEDs, such as the Cree XML-T6, it is not necessary to drive it at it's max 3A. It can be driven at 1A and is still crazy bright compared to older LEDs and at that kinda amperage, actually runs cooler and on less wattage.

    This is main reason why the old "watts per gallon" calculations cannot be used for LEDs when trying to determine the amount of lights to use for a tank.

    Oh, how do you power the unit? Would the AC version simply be plug and play?
    Hi, i believe the AC version is plug and play. Please take note of the dimension of the flood light when ordering. I think they got the pic for the dimension.

    Remark: double check and double check your order before payment....THEY DONT ENTERTAIN EMAIL & PHONE CALL !@#@%$#%$!#^%#^%#^#!^(*** NO SERVICE) BUY AT OWN RISK....

    Question: What is the different between D/C and A/C?
    Should I order the D/C or A/C

    And Maria, How long did it take to reach you?

    Bro, sorry to say they got no service and support as i ordered the wrong item and immediately drop them a few emails and also a few phone calls but No responds from them...but they still delivered the item i ordered wrongly...

    i ordered the item simply by gambling factor as i fully understand the risk factors involve and have mentality prepared if the item are not delivered or item DOA or simply got MUG.
    As i duno them nor are they a reliable merchant....i had my share of disappointments with deal extreme as well...end of the day...when buying something online...there is no true protection...
    Even with paypal....i have my share of disappointment as well....they earn the exchange rates when paying and when something happens....they practically have no solutions and you wont get your money back from paypal as well...

    Their website does not accept credit card payment yet, only paypal at the moment. To get a response from them, you need to create a user account and submit a support ticket.
    I submitted a few tickets yesterday due to connection problem with paypal and lck-leds (Elvis) responded within the same day to answer my queries.
    A email will be sent to your email address as well, something like below:

    Your Support Ticket has been replied to. You can view the changes at:
    http://www.lck-led.com/ticket_view.php?tlid=3m3F8u7WXX
    If you have more Questions, please continue to use our support ticket system.

    I'll sucessfully placed my order yesterday successfully and get an update through email (something like this)

    LCK LED STORE - PROFFESIONAL LED
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Order Number: 4246
    Detailed Invoice: http://www.lck-led.com/account_histo...?order_id=42XX
    Date Ordered: Monday 04 June, 2012
    The comments for your order are
    Your order has been updated to the following status.
    New status: Processing

    It will take between 6 to 10 days to reach Singapore. Finger cross for now.
    Can't wait for it to arrive.

    Placing order is quite a breeze if not for the paypal connection problem which i encountered yesterday.

    I am getting 2 pcs (total 20W) to try it out to replace my old 36x3W + Ballasts (Total 108W + say 12W) PL light for my low maintenance tank.

    Total saving of $$$/month = 100W per month = 0.1KW x 28cts/KWH x 7hours/day x 30days = $5.88/months

    If this is successful, will get may be another 1 or 2 pcs for my other tanks to cut down my total electricity bill to $10+ saving per month.

    James,

    With the 10W LED lamp...it almost blind me when i switch it on the 1st time....taken by surprise how can a 10W produce such brightness....

    I think you better put on sunglass before you switch the 20W on.....

    Haha, may be i am lucky.
    Think they want people to create a account first and submit support ticket (for serious buyer).
    If unregistered people send queries via their website email address, they may think you are not a serious buyer.

    My apologies for all that technical jargons. I'm such a geek
    To be very honest, when I buy something from Ebay or any Hong Kong/China related websites, I'm prepared to lose it. Most of the time, I try with something I can afford to lose, something cheap, to test water so to say.
    It's unlike buying from Amazon or Newegg, where there's some channel to complain.

    I had a thread previously about buying LED tubes from Alibaba. It ended with me getting an underpowered LED tube that wasn't what I wanted, and the vendor getting only half the money because I blocked payment to him in time.

    For an $18USD light, can take the risk right?
