30w led project

[Kbeezy83]

I have a 30g rimless cube and my friend gave me this 30w led, heat sink, driver, and fan. The light is bright White or cool white.So I figure I would try and rig up a cheap fixture with the led to hang it from my ceiling. Here is what I've came up with so far. I plan on putting 3 10w blue leds also. I just got a $4 dollar cooking pot from dollar general and that is were I started and this is what I have so far. Let me know what u think. If I can get away with running my cube on these LEDs instead of the mh I have on it now, why not? Let me know what u think.

Thanks. I don't know why none of the pics of the inside didn't come out but here are a few

I am surprised you went with non-stick!

All joking aside I think it is rather brilliant. Can you make the inside of the pot a little more reflective?

I'm going to take the led out. It's only 4 screws and the heat sink and fan come off. And I'm going to wire wheel it and buff it out on the inside. That was one of the cheapest pot that I liked and had easy access on taking the handle off an stuff. And would also look decent as a light fixture.
