This build was started almost a year ago now and is still ongoing, just one of my long term projects.
This build was never intended to be practical, its more the enjoyment of creating it and getting a functional “sculpture” at the end.
20x Cree CXA1850
1 of the 2 240x60mm radiators
The Solenoid
Reflectors, what is the purpose of the cone things inside the reflectors?
The cones in the reflectors keep you from seeing the LEDs directly. They might either reduce the spill light around the hotspot (if they are lenses) or they might make the spill even wider (if they diffusers). The might also be cone shaped reflectors which redirect the light to the main reflector, also minimizing the spill.
I can’t wait to see this. I’ve wanted to do a build like this for a long time, but didn’t have the resources. It’s good to see someone actually doing it.
That shouldn’t be a problem if the pump is after the radiators unless the radiators can’t provide adequate cooling.
