AquaIllumination Vega LED - PreOrder Now!!!

Looks like they will meet their August deadline. I can't wait for my Vega's. God knows I've been patient enough.
 
No. I am assuming silence by PA means the have not shipped them. Last week they posted a pic of pallets full on a semi from AI.
 
They are in transit to us now. Please be assured that I will post back here the moment they arrive, and we will also have everyone's preorders shipped out the same day that the product gets here.
 
Vega's are in stock! We will be shipping out all pre-orders today, as well as any new orders placed by 3:30pm eastern time!
 
Happy to say I received my Vega Color and controller! LED is totally new to me, I have ditched VHO and halides on my 120. I am running a 4x24 ATI PM on one side of the tank, and the Vega on the other side. I want to compare the difference between T5/LED, and I imagine I will order my other Vega in the near future if I like the results. Just playing with the controller and the functions, its pretty cool. The wife seems to like it :)

I however, wish it came with explanations for everything in the menu, as well as making the controller battery operated.

Question: How high should they be mounted off of the surface(AI SOL recommened at 8"-12")? I have mine at 9.5" and throughout the test run, I am seeing highest part of 150ish at my highest coral, where with my 150w HQI and VHO I was hitting 250.

I will post PAR comparisons tomorrow likely as I will grab some tests with the lights fully on instead of the test run(I got home late tonight

PRE-VEGA:
Coralife 150w 14k HQI left
ATI 4x24w Powermodule right
VHO 2x46.5" Actinics

Look forward to seeing your PAR measurements!
 
Well I guess one cannot completely compare PAR values between LEDS/Halides, and to what extent comparisons can be made, that I do not know. This is all new to me. But here are quick readings: All my info I typed onto the pic didn't show. But this is mounted 9.5" off the surface of a 120g tank. One Vega Color only. I currently have coral aclimation mode on at a 50% reduction for 2 months.
