Calculating LED Lighting Power for Aquarium: Mixing White, Royal Blue, Deep Red & Full Spectrum

Question

Hello, I am building a led beam on power ledów and I have a problem, for example, if I have 14 white diodes 7x8500k and 7x6500k for this I should still use the Royal Blue and Deep Red or full spectrum diode and my question how much should I use them, what is the ratio to whites? And the second...

1. For LEDs, 0.4 W per 1 liter of water
2. What do you mean by the ratio of color to white? Do you mean that you want to keep a steady stream of light for different colors?
3. You have to specify the parameters of all types of LEDs that you want to use, then we will help to count something.
4. in accordance with this: http://www.krewetkomaniak.pl/poradniki/technologia/oswietlenie-akwarium-ile-wat-ile-lumenow you need 0.4 W per 1 liter of water.
5. There is no unit like LM if you meant the unit "lumen", the designation looks like this: "lm"
6. Why would we have colored LEDs not included in the principle of 30 lm per liter?

The guest who builds the led beams told me that the amount of light needed from the same counts. And the colored diodes are just an extension of the spectrum of light and should be up to 1/2 of all that is how we have 20 white is the number of colored up to 10. I'm more concerned to find out how it is calculated as it should be.

matej1410 · Answer

how many liters does the tank have?

Example (thought abbreviations):
If it has 100 liters of aquarium, in accordance with the principle of 30lm per liter we need 3000 lumens for the entire aquarium.
Assuming that the 1W diode has about 100lm, we need 30 LEDs with 1W and 100lm (white).
If the spec says that the principle is that the white to color ratio is 2, then in this case you need in the end:

-30 white LEDs with 1W power and 100lm stream
-15 LEDs with 1W power (let us discuss here the stream)

Check the spectrum, power and lumens, a bit of work as you know the manufacturer of diode modules, but it gives you concrete results and graphical imaging what we have created. I will not offend you for helping - somehow users of this forum use this button, they think that they deserve the answer, which they can not find themselves.

You did not help me in anything, I asked something else

Maybe the main question first. This is about the requirements of organisms living in the aquarium, or just about the proper visual effect?

Decide ... Either yes or yes. The power (W) only the luminous flux (lm) is irrelevant for LEDs. Ledy have very different effectiveness. One gives 50lm / W other 100lm / W. I approached the subject a bit differently. I bought a long fluorescent lamp led, 30W, 4500lm, 4000k, 150cm. I made it into 2 shorter pieces, everything was inherited and now illuminates the 112L aquarium. Plants seem to be satisfied visually also look good more naturally than with artificially cold LED light.

It is supposed to grow well because I have several tanks and I want to do all the LED lighting. I mean the general principles of building such lighting

Hello. I have a question, I want to make a power LED beam for the aquarium 60 × 30 × 40 72l.
I bought the heatsink 16cm × 56cm, the LEDs I would like to use are: white 8500, 6500, full spectrum, white full spectrum, royal blue, deep red and a pair of green 1w LEDs.
Now my question is how many diodes and how to arrange them. Lighting for moderately demanding plants fish. Thanks in advance for your help.
