I have let a few hints out that i was doing some research on purchasing some LED Fixtures for my tanks. I have found a fixture that exceeds the ouput of others fixtures and meets my requirements. I plan on making my order shortly. I am going to offer a buy for anyone interested in upgrading to or buying a LED fixture.
The fixture is 16" long x 8.5" wide and 3.0" high. The LED panel window is 12" x 4.75"
First what I found was a company willing to offer white lights from 4500K to 20000K and Blues from 440-470nm.
There were other spectrums available :red620nm-660nm;orange610-615nm;yellow:585-595nm;green500-530nm;UV380-440nm;IR730-850nm most of which do not concern saltwater aquarium usage.
My choice was to go with 14000k and 453nm.
Also they offered options of ratio mixes and I chose as close to a 1:1 as possible. 63 whites and 56 blues arranged as in picture.
There is a dimming option but it is by using a hand held remote control to control your LED fixture. At a $75 add on option I dont see the need.
There is a timer option possible... the timer is pretty good as you can set on off times in eight different modes: ($25 option)
you could have all come on at the same time and off at the same time
you could have blues come on earlier and turn off later than whites.
you can have different times on different days of the week
PAR READINGS??? After my sample unit arrived I set it up over my tank and took some readings... I am Very impressed as th PAR reading are much Higher that some other 120w fixtures that are out there. And the spread was very good as you san see in my readings. I did measurements with White only, Blue only, and then with both. I also did a spread reading to the sides with both colors on at 6", 9", 12", 15", 18" and 20" in water. The lamp assembly is two inches above the water. Compare the following ( as measured by laffingcrow in another thread) to MH 250W @ 11" depth= 150 PAR @ sand bed 20"depth = 100 PAR ;T5s 2-wt/2bl 11" = 100 PAR @ sand bed 20" depth 50 PAR
After some negotiation, the maufaturers seller has just dropped the price on THIS PURCHASE ONLY! as an introductory price.
the discount price for the described unit (120W 63-14000k whites and 56-453nm blues arranged as in picture) is $245. This is corded models without timer. Timer will still be $25 additional. Other requests may be ordered but will have to check pricing if different than above.
These units are available as described for $300 (fixture with switches) and $325 with timer. A black case will add $10. If you would like other options PM me and I will see what the additional cost will be.
The company manufactures lamps in 90w,120w(like this one),180w,200w and 300w for your selection, but other watts can also be made according to your special requirement
