I wanted a small and slim ATS for my Percula 120. I used 2mm aluminium to build a box that also functions as an passive cooler for the leds. Then I´ve put a acrylic box inside that one. Here are som pictures of my build.
The idea in Sketch Up
Kitchen build :-)
Voila!
Unfinished acrylic box
Boxes put together with leds installed
Let there be light! 10 3watt leds 660nm and 2 3watt 440nm.

I hope this can be of inspiration for some of you.
