    So here are some pictures from my fuge light build 12 LEDs per sink 4 royal blue and 8 cool white. Since this is a fuge light there is only going to be one driver that runs all 24 modules and will be a 200w Inventronics driver all the LEDs are Cree.

    The LEDs, optic, driver, and fan kit all came from Jonathan at ReefWerks.com thanks a ton for gluing the optic on before sending these out and sending the plug and play wires.

    The heat sinks and adhesive came from Rapid LEDs super fast shipping and great prices.

    Bare heat sink there is two but only one will be shown. The second sink mirrors the first.

    With lots of help from Reefwerks we decided that mounting the leds like this would be the best for wiring and coverage.

    Just the order the modules were glue down in.

    Connecting all the RB modules in parallel (The Cw was also connected in Parallel but i forgot to snap pictures while i was doing it) So all the CW will connect together first then the RB just for trouble shooting purposes in the future.

    The CW modules on one heat sink with a 50w driver so i didnt blow any leds

    All of the modules on one heat sink connected to the 50w driver to ensure everything works.

    Just thought i would share thanks for looking.

    Haha second that notion!

    Why'd you go with cool whites and RB's on fuge lighting? Why not just all warm whites?
