I would look at either rapid led or modular led. Both used and both amazing. They make it very simple and understandable.

id be concerned about adequate heat transfer from the LED to the pipe with or without water. Why not just use an aluminum heatsink with or with a fan?

yes you can use aluminum heat-sink if you can can so big size. or if you think small heat-sinks for each led you will have trouble to fix it on cover
