Awesome ! Thanks for your order ! You're very professional !

Nice job! I am a photographer; bearing in mind that Led Lights (especially such setup) is quite a focus light source already, for a room/garage/workshop similar the outside areas would be dimmed variable depending on the size of the area. Hence the reason also why you have yellow cast on edges! Instead of attaching lenses, perhaps better to consider a soft white diffuser panel over them (without any lenses) to spread the light around like a fluorescent light. Then you'd have a well balanced spread light source and a well lit up area. Softer the light more the spread. I hope it helps. 👍🏼

Awesome build, very nice delta T. I can't wait to see more high speed with your new lights! Thanks for the video.

this turned out really beautiful, and i like that you used the water cooling parts from that Coherent laser thingy.

the best setup of those LEDs i've seen so far

For high-speed, do you actually need it to be on for long enough to need water cooling ?

For many shots yes, a big solid aluminum block on the back would suffice, perhaps with a modest air cooled heatsink to allow reasonable duty cycle. But there's setup and focusing which can take time with multiple cameras, and certain pesky events where you don't quite know when they're going to happen.

What a brilliant project, thanks for the illuminating video.

Sir, i enjoyed every moment of watching your video, wonderful to look at and listen to, looking forward to the next program that you have to show. Thank you, Brian Thomas.

Nah. The best LEDs can do like 170lm/W. Notice "best". He's running them at 1kW. At the very most, assuming these LEDs are good quality and are the BEST, you're getting 170k lumens. A clear sunnday day at noon, the sun shines about 100k lumens per square meter on earth. What this is saying is that if he shined that 1kW on a piece of 2m^2 of land, he may come close to approximating a sunny day on that 2m^2 of land. nothing on the scale of an atom bomb. he's just trying to replicate a small piece of an average sunshine.

Superglue = automatic weakness! Awesome work BTW! On that gasket material there, melting the ends together is far better. I worked in a well known Television Manufacture Company in the 90's and on remote control pulleys, we would often replace the bands and weld the ends with heat :)

That tap looked to be running out something fierce to begin with. It seemed to straighten out after the first hole, but that snapping sound just about gave me a heart attack

The floating tap holder has a little bit of play, and on top of that I didn't have the right size tap holder, so it's sitting in an adapter that fits into a much larger holder, adding more runout.

big thumbs up for the video, if you put the heat exchangers in parallel you'll get a more even temp on every lamp and increase the overall efficiency of the setup

Incredible. It looks amazing and you did a fantastic job. Is this comparable to existing lights used for high-speed video/photography?

What tubes used for water? How to find them on sale? Whats rifling used in connectors for connecting tubes and the block?

Watched the video. Liked it. Subscribed. I'm into DIY power LED lamps myself (maybe only without watercooling for now) so I can appretiate the effort you put in all the designing, CNC milling and cutting, sealing the waterblock (thanx for the seal compression rate BTW!), mounting it all together, and the thought behind the whole project. Nice to see a skilled enthusiast with attention to details. Keep up the good work and have fun with it. :)

Glad I came across this and your channel, awesome work man.

Doing the orings again i would suggest cutting the ends at a 30 degree angle, clean with solvent then use activator on the one side, and Loctite rubber loaded superglue on the other in a very thin film. Simply stick together and the glue sets in 5 seconds, and makes a join that is as strong as the neoprene, but which is flexible. Just sand the edge of the join level to finish it. Makes a hermetic seal, I used to do it to fix hermetic seals in avionics, as the seal was the same neoprene rubber extrusion.

Hello Tesla! I've a question for you so please help. Did you see the new philips tv? aka ambibox tv? its a led tech and its reflect images and videos. before i saw ambilight homemade versions like using ws2801, ws2812. But this ambibox beyond that! do you have any idea how did they reflect images or videos to wall? i mean is it a diffirent type of led or what is it man? i am gonna crazy thanks!

Wow it was awesome to watch you build this. It must be the most powerful and coolest looking diy led lighting system.

So awesome. Thank you for making such a great video. It was really enjoyable!!!!

I'll be looking forward to nicely lit highspeed footage made with this rig in the future :)

I like your systematic approach and the inherent scalability of what you do. I am guessing you're not into shortcuts and half-arse rigging. Excellent work

Sanding the back of the lens to give it a frosted look should help to remove the yellow band, as it diffuses the yellow through the rest of the beam. I tried it on my 100w led and it worked pretty well. Just an idea to consider!

Your channel is definitely tied to Mikes Electric Stuff as my favorite! :D

awesome.. u have all the tools u need!! god blessed you amigo..

Hi thank you, I am wondering if you would use a "flir one" to do your temp checks?

What an awesome job, will you be modding a lawnmower and using an extra heavy blade too? I'm looking forward to seeing the end result. Thanks for using Deg C too, I understand that. :)

Absolutely brilliant video!!

Really so bright idea and LED also.👍

The color temperature of the LED's looks decent enough, but the CRI leaves a lot to be desired, your Halide lamp provides a much better video-light. You notice this by the green tint that turns your skin into a ghastly color, the halide lamp almost looks pink afterwards because our eyes have tried to adjust to the lacking red output from the LED's. DIY Perks talks about this in his video-light videos

nice rig dude! my envy meter is red lining right now. I'd love to build a portable and modular ultra bright LED strip panel(s) for filming and photography as well! great work!

Hi Tesla500, what kind of power supply/driver did you use on this project?

i looking forward for The lens i want to know what size this lens are. i looking thesame type of lens but than 50 or 52 mm lengh for my maglite d cel flashlight to get a focus beam. but i dont know were i can buy it have someone some tips or informatian about The lens and how to get it greetings Danny damveld

Amazing! Thanks from Brazil!

Wonderful.. though I just wonder won't the heat smoke up the wooden enclosure like it did to the table.

love this! whats the best switch to control amperage resistance that you have found for something this for high wattage of leds?

Wow, that's a lot of LED's..... and light! In theory if you hold the lux meter 1 metre directly in front of the lights you should get close to 40,000 lux (assuming 4,000 lumens per LED). That's getting close to the brightness of sunlight on a sunny day. I measure 40,000 lux in my greenhouse on such a day. Great video, thanks.

When compressed those rubber strings get slightly longer and usually form a good seal without glue. I'd lubricate the groove a bit!

This laser cut more beautiful than actual project :)

Hey mane, I was thinking of getting a section of alumn gutter downspout run, stuffing with some filling, and just capping the ends and siliconing really good then using a small pond pump to keep the water moving through out the alumn. Be a heavy fixture but I think keep the leds super cool and be super efficient and super cheap?

If the water is flowing at even low speed, the temperature difference will be insignificant because the water loops so many times a minute. The water will heat up gradually.

very nice build

Whenever I glue o-rings from cord stock I wrap the glue joint in Teflon tape to ensure a good seal

Amazing project very professional, I 'd love to have the led's specs and also where did u buy ur stuff, do u think they have cob led? Need to improve my lighting set up and led is a plus. thank you for sharing your excellent work.

i might be missing somthing but are'nt the 2 led closest to the hosses in serail? in that case on is on the cold side and one on the hot side? (the opposite of what you said you wanted to do)

best selling also the aluminum cooling block where the LED to get fixed? Jeremy Greetings from Netherlands

Any thoughts on what you would sell a pre-milled waterblock for?

Would you add a third initial planing pass across the middle? Would it make a difference or just be a waste of time?

I like the Sharpies used as a stabilisers for water pump ;-)

Can you fill us in on the charger? I would like to do the same. Thank you

Faster won't stop it's eyes from being hurt (actually the reverse), cats are actually more sensitive to light than humans. If it was looking directly into the light it would have damaged it's eyes if it looked for too long, but animals know to not do that so it's fine. Just like cats and dogs don't stare at the sun either, they know not to.

Is is bad to give rated voltage to the led from the voltage booster. Are there any long term effects?

If I wanted to build my own light bar for my truck would I need the liquid cooling, or would I be able to get away with using fins like a standard heat sink.

I'm currently amazed by the QE and light intensity from such a thin layer of hypnotically-irridescent metallization on a slice of sapphire - revealed by removing the phosphorescent layer and looking closely. I digress: ha-ha-ha ha'lide. The quartz bulb is filled with Halides! HALIDES! (nicht, hay'lides)

What tubes used for water? How to find them on sale? Whats rifling used in connectors for connecting tubes and the block?

the yellow fringe around the edge of the light spot is just from the lenses roughly focusing an image of the dies of the LED. there is a space around the edge of the 100 dies where there is extra phosphor and since you are focusing an image you see that around the edge. a two lens solution could remove this, or a diffuser behind the lenses, or maybe just a mask right in front of the LEDs that just covers the very edge.

Thanks for the suggestion. I came to the same conclusion after a little investigation. I did some quick testing, and a mask around the outside of the phosphor area solves the problem.

tesla500 cool! you really are making the most interesting projects on youtube, very inspirational.

you stated you were going to use this for high speed video lighting. Is there any other practical applications for this? would this be useful on a vehicle for example? or maybe as part of a security floodlight/spotlight to illuminate a walkway or entranceway? I have one more question. I see you used 10 of these. at 60V each one would only need 6 volts? so 2 would need 12V. What kind of amps would they draw? I wanted to do a very bright led turn signal lamp and was thinking a COB LED would make more useable lighting.

48 led's......man that would grow some serious dank bro!!!

Even though the o-ring worked. RTV might also be useful considering your machining the mating surfaces flat. Which from what I could tell would give you more room for water inside... looks great though

how i understand watercooling is that there is a loop from intake to outlet. you watercooling block dont have that. intake and outlet is 1cm apart and no loop, so the water i the far end do not get changed... there will be water but no cooling. Love you build amazing led..

Hello, would you be able to share the CAD files for the heatsink? Thanks a lot.

Is a thermal interface material between the LEDs and the heatsink required?

Hi, I was wondering if you have solved the "yellow ring" problem? I have the same problem.

Hi tesla500, I really like your project and I truly admire aluminium blocks design and a final product. May I ask if you would be willing to share the CAD project of it? I could just go to the first cnc place, give them project and raw material. That would be so much easier than making everything from scratch (like you did!).

Nice project! But why so thick? More water passing through woundn't be better? And how do i find something like your radiator? Thanks, i'm planing to make a water cooler made of rectangular aluminium used as rail on houses(try "Aluminium rail" on google), what is the thickness that you suggest? Thanks!

question: did you really find temperature differences at the beginning and end of a waterblock? my blocks are much smaller and waterflow is quite large. I didn't find differences whatsoever

hi i have question, how hot the water block should be normaly? thanks

Should use Shoe Goo thinned with some Xylene to connect rubber/soft plastics. It is a rubber cement but is super strong. Use it in my RC cars for everything from strengthening the bodies to patching broken parts...stuff is really good as an adhesive and as a hard rubber seal too ;)

Are there any good cheap LEDs for high speed? I can't stand the flickering in all my high speed videos.

That screw assortment in the small plastic drawers isn't by any chance the salvage from taking stuff apart? Because if it is, that's exactly how I store the rest of whatever was disassembled. ;)

Whats the scoop with that sweet laser cutter? What brand is it?

Awesome skill!

where did you get those lense covers caps?

When gluing o-rings I have usually just waited that the superglue dries and then cut the excess off with a sharp knife. This way leaves less mess on the o-ring surface from the smeared glue. About the design of the groove, your compression ratio sounds ok for the application (recommended compression is from 18 to 28% in static hydraulic face seal applications) but you really should leave some free space in the groove as the elastomer is not compressible. It will only deform. For the o-ring cross section you are using the width of groove should be about 0,177 - 0,187" (4,49 - 4,75mm).

Just wanted to say, as a recent subscriber who pretty much went through and watched a lot of your videos, I enjoy the quality of this latest upload. Random question though, are you an electrical engineer or some other engineering trade?

Thanks! I'm and EE but I dabble in a lot of other things too, mechanical, optical, etc. I learned a decent amount about optics when I was working on the design of a Raman spectrometer at a previous job, and of course from work on the high-speed camera.

Do you have a video on that power supply?

Was that tap not in right on the first hole? Seemed to center after the first hole...

Would you ever be interested in building a CXB-3590 water cooled grow light say around 1500 watts using 30 led dimmable?

About the color temperature changes, I think a more correct explanation is that the wavelength of the blue LED which fires blue light at the phosphors placed on the top varies with the current/voltage applied. Very likely, at normal current/voltage the LED emits primary photons with a peak wavelength of 450 nm, but when the current/voltage is low, the peak wavelength moves towards 460 nm, which is greener. 460 nm is just the peak wavelength, but your LED also emits photons at 470nm, 480 nm, 490nm...etc even if in proportion they are just a few. However common LED phosphors are bad at converting photons beyond 480 nm, and you are production relatively more of them when you are using a low current/voltage. The result of this is that you are getting lots of greenish-blue photons (between 480 and 500 nm) that makes your light turn yellowish or greenish.

Very nice design. Im sure that if you added a larger radiator those LED's would be at least 20% cooler. :P

It was about 8C, so it's marginal with the stock fan. Water delta-T from inlet to outlet on the radiator was only about 1C so that's fine, it's the radiator to air that's the limiting factor.

Outer seal o ring is ok, but what about inside water seperation?

could you give me a price for one of these completed? with the 10 LED's. without the radiator?
