1000w equiv. Watercooled LED (DIY SUN BLASTER 2.0)
Переглядів 1,287,389
7 років томуIn this video we'll be making an insanely bright water-cooled LED light that looks remarkably similar to sunlight!
This is because it uses a high quality LED from Yuji which as a high colour rendering index (CRI). Since its completion this project has been used to light every single one of my videos! It's just that good!

If anyone wondering, there is pre-applied thermal paste on the coldplate between the LED and itself. You should always use some heat conductive paste when cooling transistors, leds, microchip IHSs or microchip dyes.

I'm not saying that it's cheap, but you do get a high quality product at an appropriate price... also you probably aren't the target demographic.

It would be great if it is just $83,50. Add $25 for shipping, and 25% tax in my country plus expenses for local expedited office/customs at about $25, and you end up with $160 for something that is "just $83,50"!
@_Epictetus_ 7 років тому
any way to have an alarm go off if the pump or fan fail? Only reason that I ask is if I am going to spend that much on an LED I want an extra layer of security
@jnevercast 7 років тому
Perhaps a thermal cutoff. You'd have to put a metal bracket between the contact pads of the cooler and the LED. I'd suggest a block of scrap copper. Put a thermal cutoff mounted to the side. Check the temperature it cuts off at and ensure there is heatsink paste between all 3 surfaces; cooler, led, cutoff. Then run the power wire through the cutoff and then to the LED. If the copper plate gets too hot the cutoff will stop providing power to the LED. Saving your expensive light.
@nordic5490 6 років тому
did you follow the link ? This led can cost as little as $6 USD. Buy a few, overdive them and have fun. I was using one a bike light @ 120w continuous, 300-400w short bursts, great for sketchy night trails. Then again, I did burn a couple out also.

Does anyone have a quick comment on how to adjust the little voltage regulator to output 12 volts? Also, does anyone know the pin out for the pump? Those are my last two pieces to complete my build. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
@mlk4343 7 років тому
I need the same info, but looking through the thread it seems Matt stopped responding long ago.
@ReliantFilms 7 років тому
I did see he gives the pin out for the pump at 12:08 and I did find the Fan pin out doing some google searches but I need to verify the info before I start cutting. I'm looking online to find anyone using the voltage regulator to output a certain voltage and there are a few, but I'm not seeing what should be the input value.
@Sleepdroidstudios 7 років тому
That is the pinout for the pump. The fan has 4 wires and has a different way to wire so that it doesn't go crazy fast. That pinout never got put into the description.
