    Default DIY led light fixture

    Made this for a fellow member and thought I'd share. I'm learning so any suggestions are appreciated.

    Looks professional. Wonder what it would cost to cover my tank.

    some vents on the sides of the body to let air circulate would help a lot.

    Thanks for the comments. I considered leaving the heatsink exposed but the drivers are sitting on top of it. Figured since cooling is based on extracting heat, the fan should be able to keep up with drawing out the hot air.
