The thermal transfer is probably far too slow between the LED/heatsink/water, I imagine even with ice water the LEDs would not be affected in any way.

I've cracked LEDs like these cooling them with liquid nitrogen, so yes XD "Reasonable" temperatures should be fine, the limit is probably having them get covered in condensation or frost. This LED stack would melt about 600g of ice per minute, so it would take a lot of ice too.

How about smaller heater core sized radiators in between each set of lights. Although I know that's probably more work than it's worth.

Impressive! I built a 1.6kW myself a few months ago, and I had to abandon the lenses because of that yellow circle. I thought it was an optical "stretch" of the light with the higher angle of refraction on the edge, but thanks a lot for the tip! Also, how did you fix the lens holders in place with the lenses like that? Thanks! :)

I remember a guy at a 'party' that had an inverter the size of a small fridge in the back of his mini van, it was running an old arc light from a theater. the huge light was mounted to the roof racks and it was rated at 20 K. The inverter was on fire and I told him, he didn't seem to worried as this was happening periodically. He did put the fire out, but did not stop running the light.

A few things you might want to think about Water wetter, it's not a type of anti-freeze, but it breaks down the surface tension of water, improving heat transfer Also, by chaining the water blocks like that, some array's will be getting hotter then others, possibly significantly so. Sections of copper tubing in the straight sections could help add some additional cooling and help with the sagging issue if your ever running those cooling lines again in the future.

Using manual exposure and then turning the LEDs off, leaving only the normal celing lamps, was a good idea. It really made it clear how wild those LEDs are. Cool stuff!

I love how the normal florescent shop lights look so dim with the LED lights on. The camera is stopped down so far that the FL lights look burned out! Very cool.

4:40 watching the water go was really cool! but then again this whole thing is pretty cool.

I need his set up in my garage to work on my car. The shadows! The SHADOWS! NOOOO

I admire your set up, layout, and workmanship. Most excellent. One feature you must add is the use of coolant instead of water. Should drop temperature about 15%. For 5KW, that is an outstanding array. I rigged a similar array for my wife in her art endeavors. I'd guesstimate 2 to 4 times incandescent power requirement for the same coverage. Here is a trick for you. We needed full or modified spectrum of color in her studio. I painted the entire ceiling with the entire spectrum rainbow. Then reflecting some of the light off the ceiling, six 500 watt portable halogens in my case, we could add some or all of the color spectrum as desired. Absolutely fantastic for getting to proper skin tone and color of the models regardless of their natural skin color.

This is one of the best looking "super" led builds ive seen. I just finished making one this week but mines only air cooled and runs one 100w led

i work in a theater with stage lighting. i'm pretty sure this light you've built is brighter than all of our stage lights put together.

Ok, you've officially sent one of your prototype cams to everyone of my favorite youtube channels. I shall take a gander and sub.

Wow, that's impressive! Maybe an aquarium chiller for the reservoir would be a good next step

This is insane! In a wonderful kind of way :D Love it! Nice to see people out there making practical innovations and putting together tech in new and interesting ways. Keep up the very interesting innovations! You've earned another subscriber. :)

great video man! i love playing around with LEDs too! thanks for the tip about the ring matte!

Thanks. That was fun to watch.

What do you have to do in order to modify the golf cart battery chargers be LED drivers? Are you just using an off the shelf 1k dimmer to dial down the voltage to dim the light?

Awesome video, great project. The IIHS video was fascinating too. Also your cat is adorable. :3

excellent light and excellent camera.......it handled the light perfectly

That was impressive! Those floureschent lights in the ceiling look like they where off - and those usually give off quite much light compared to "normal" indoor lighting. I also know those tube halogen lamps of 1 kW - now think of LEDs thats so much more efficient. Each module is like 5-6 times that light, LOL! Perfect for high speed filming.

Thumbs up for the setup and thumbs up for Trixi. :3

holy cow Cody, you had a comment fly under the radar for 2 whole weeks. Pretty excited for some wicked high fps shots.

Can this be made into two rows of leds 50" long with the water cooler behind it powered by a 12v car battery? If so I would be interested in trying to make a light bar for my jeep that would be brighter then the HIDs lights I'm currently using.

You could use that setup in a large venue to help people who suffer with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD for short), it's as bright as a sunny summers day, that's a given!! :D

Now just hook it up to the slab heating in the floor. Awesome video man.

How are amazing! Respect!! :D Greetings from Spain

@2:50 you could find thin gasket material such as for automotive use. Although it may be to thick for this application. The nice part is the heat range it can tolerate .

YOU ROCK MAN!! Liked and subscribed!

I am trying to put two 150w LED chips in an old theater Fresnel fixture. My main concern is cooling. I was thinking of grabbing two Corsairs H55 to to cool both chips but I have no clue if it will be enough. I will be using two Luminus CVM-27. They operate at 4200ma/36V/150W and have a Thermal resistance of 0.16 ℃/W Do you know if the H55 will be enough to cool?

If your application is for filming only, you could evaluate synching your camera shutter with a control circuit, which will enable (open) the current to the LEDs only when needed (24, 30, 50 or 60fps) and at a duty-cycle (DC) of your choice. A few opto checks will setup the DC for each shot. That will save a considerable amount of electrical power without compromising the light levels perceived by the camera sensor. You've done a remarkable project. My regards

@tesla500

I had thought of that, but these are being used for high-speed filming, with several cameras running at different frame rates. This makes is basically impossible to do this because the shutters never line up due to the different frame rates.

Well done! Funny to think about how much energy it takes to make a bright sunny day..

One thing you could do to get a bit more radiator area is to replace some of the tubing runs with copper pipe. It would actually clean up the way that it looks, and the tubing itself would effectively become another radiator.

why u connect water lines in series?

Great test set up. The charring of the cut out indicates of a lot of heat in the LED chips. Keep up the good work.

WOW! Now THAT is what i call "proper lighting"

That is so freakin cool, his name has Tesla in it!

Wow. Nice. Although, I should mention that your cooling system should be connected in a "star" configuration rather than in series. The way it's shown in the video, that last set of LED's is going to be running WAY hotter than the first set.

The sagging issue with the tubing underlines an potential of it failing or developing leaks. Fiber reinforced Tygon tubing that is rated for hot water applications may be in order for your needs. Also, you may want to consider re-plumbing and making it all parallel instead of series, using a valving manifold. This will also solve your cooling issues as well.

God this is Beautiful and so AWESOME!!!

i wonder what would happen if you turn this on in say the north pole at -15 celcius, would you need a water cooler there or will the temp of the environment be enough to keep the system cool

You blinded me through the interweb!

Love the cat :) and nice lighting setup

the metal to frame the leds to fix the yellowing will build more heat perhaps look into a style called nomax (sp?) that they use for firefighters protective gear.

derpy never wore her safety goggles... yessss 6:03... omg you named your cat trixie :D

Did you think about using special coolant instead of water for example that used for PC cooling?

This is perfect for a Photo studio (Yes, sometimes fixed lights are better than flash). I get problems with the Room temp when i run my current setup with 5x 2000 Watt MHL Lamps @250V. Mount it on movable heads (maybe with some servos? :D), perfect. I would buy some ... or try to build it myself.

Did you use thermal paste to seat the Leds? Also, would coolant (for a car radiator) not be better than water?

Don't take this negative because I love what you're doing. I would measure the current because if those are cheap Ebays, there is no way they're 1kw

tesla500 I was thinking instead of using tin foil to mask the edge of the LED chips, why not try a non metallic non stick oven cooking sheet. They are thin, easy to cut to shape and made to sit at very high temperatures for long periods.

I'd recommend doing what DIY Perks did on his LED. Sand the flat side of the lens to get it frosted, it will still focus the light, but the yellowish ring will be blended into the rest of the light. Your current settup, while also viable, wastes that light for heating the paper.

Is it possible to add a peltier cooling to the tank?

For the masking, a sheet of mica may work. It's electrically non-conductive and can be cut on the laser.

also have u thought of adding ice to the reservior,or using liquid nitrogen as a coolant,might have to be careful of explosive pressure though,or using a coolant R410a and a compressor

lol youve got some fancy lighting equipment XD

Oh yeah, one more trick for your water system, try a product called 'water wetter' it's basically a surfactant that helps break the surface tension of the water in the boundary layer of the heat sink and heat exchanger. It's usually used in cars and it does make a difference, it's like 8 bucks for a bottle.

Wouldn't a flat tube radiator be better , great job by the way i like led but you take it to the next level .

I wonder if it is possible to have at the same time, cooking with conduction, convention, induction, and microwave, how fast can you cook.

Great video my dear friend!

i think water supply which is connected in series can be an issue with light connected at last and second last. may be it could reach its working temperature. but i suggest to have all water lines in parallel discharge and return connected header. and to enhance same setup for lower temperature you can add thermo-electric cooling plates .

Use like an old condenser from a car or truck and depending if you want the heat inside or out put it outside i live in texas so we rarely need the heat inside but you could do one outside and one in with a valve

Is there a way to fit that on my handlebar for those who forget to turn off highbeams?😅😅

Since the coolant lines are hooked up in series wouldn't the module on the end get very little cooling?

@kageotaku

Less cooling, yes, though I'm guessing the delta between the thermal blocks and the water is large enough that the water being a few degrees warmer wouldn't make that large of a difference. It also depends on flow rate, of course. If the flow rate is too low, there would be potential problems.

About cooling... if you can find on junkyard or somewhere only outside cooling part from split system cooler and modified to use only radiator and fan instead...
