ATI Powermodule Hybrid Club

I received my 2ft (4x24w + 75W LED) last week and it was just my luck that one of the T5 channels wouldn't dim so icontacted the local distributor here in Australia
and within the hour had an email from ATI telling me that they will replace the control unit that comes with the light, I had the replacement unit within 2 days and managed to hang the light yesterday.
The only bad thing i have to say about it is the location and thickness of the power chord, It took a bit to level the light as the chord kept pulling one side to the back of the tank so
i cable tied it to my return piping and its prefect.
I am very impressed with not only the light but also the support that comes with it, Anyway people are asking for pics so here are a few more.

I wouldn't mind clouds and a storm. Dim the t5s and flash the LEDs would be pretty cool. This is my first T5 fixture and to be honest I'm not overly impressed. T5 IMO look bla and flat but the LEDs add the shimmer that is missing, still missing something though. I'm thinking about replacing it with a few Radion Pros. We will see...

For 24 in. front to back the 4 bulb will be more than enough. I have the 8 bulb on my 32 tank and there is still some light spillage.

Looks great !!
I have the same tank dimensions and went with the 8 bulb. Better upgrade potential!
It is supposed to do the lightening etc .

Those are all gimmicky features that are geared towards consumers who enjoy flashy, useless options.

Well, for the $2000 we all paid, I'd actually like it if the light talked to me and told me the weather forecast over my reef. The actual light construction quality is superb, it just seems the software is in need of an upgrade. At the least, it should have Mac compatibility, and hopefully one day there will be some fun "gimmicky", as you called it, features for everyone that are presets. I would assume that the competition between light makers will begin shifting towards the software side. Already, there are fixtures that are able to be controlled wirelessly--also a gimmick, but a really convenient one.
Yes maybe , but i was sold the light unit because of all the features not just on and off of t5's and led's .
agree about the Mac issue I had to go out and buy a £500 laptop to program the light only to find out after that I had more or less done the same settings via the controller , very disappointing tbh , I wish I had bought the Futura instead .

Tank has finally finished the cycle, so now the re-stocking begins and to have some fun with this light
Looks amazing Rodney!!!! Any regrets switching from Mitras to these? Im in the planning stages of a 96x36x24 and the ATI LED PM is on the top of my list for lighting.

No real spot light, they spread out really nicely.
Got my ati pm 10x39w with 32leds replacing the 2 dusk&dawn bulbs, it came out pretty good.
But the build took longer then I expected so I ending up get a ati pm 8x39wT5s/2x75wLeds
