Am I allowed to link Alibaba ? I'm actually using this for a fish tank not a grow room.
Thought I was from alibaba you really need either the driver of the light completely or at the very least a gap between the driver and the sink plate think your led's are going to be having to put up with temps up 50 which will reduce their shelf life not sure about safety wise just check regularly for signs of heat
I'll take a look and see if I can lower the lighting, I just wanna grow some fish tank plants so I'm not in need of a power hour just a cheap led. Too cheap I guess lol but I never bought a light off there so I figured why not.
Should be a dimmer somewhere quite often it's on the bottom of the driver you can normally turn the voltage down with a screwdriver you don't need all that power for them if you can turn down to 50% think that would solve most of the heat problems
bro if it works it works and cheap lights work well even with demanding plants like cannabis and for a small aquarium i would really think 15-20 watts would suffice because i’m keeping bonsai mothers in a 2x2 under 30 watts of leds designed for cabinet lighting. diffused soft shit with low par.
Thank you for the help! I'm gonna go check to see if it has that. Much appreciation I don't want any accidents happening even if it's just burning stuff out.
I'll look up how to do that, I'm new to diy stuff with lighting but I am capable.
I unscrewed the driver, (the box thing right?) and there was no dimmer
so I believe my only option is to find some fans or a heatsink.
Was there a plastic stopper sometimes it's underneath a stopper it's not a real dimmer just a screw that turns down the voltage if no stopper then you can't so you'll have to try the other optionsI unscrewed the driver, (the box thing right?) and there was no dimmer
its a solid aluminum case, I have another led light that was much more expensive 320w in my grow tent with that rubber stopper but there is not one part of it to get into. I even sent the ali express vendor a message to see if there was any way to dim the light but no response. I have never seen a light so basic before, its just a flat piece of metal with leds on it with box on the back lol.
