Done up on the LEDs wiring on the aluminium plate but not yet connect to the main connector.

interesting project. how is it going?

Still in progress slow cause have to cope with current lighthing.

bro did you use any optics for your LEDs?

The currently using 3ft not using any external ( the LEDs has the 60deg lens built-in.

where did you get your LEDs from? Driver as well?

I'm getting LED from china ( china source previously from another reefer BO ).

The LED driver is MeanWell.
