Bought new led light fixture from China.

[Gillguy]

I noticed that there are 6 LED's per channel , any idea if they could make one channel say 4 and another 8 to keep my planned 4pc 410nm UV separated?

Also can they substitute XMLu2 for additional fee since they are 28% more efficient than XPGR5 (approx 390 flux vs 500 flux @1300mah) ?

I wanted this mix and might reduce blue and add whites since will be using 2pc T5HO super actinic & purple plus to have less shadows and a fuller spectrum (I feel the way of the future is hybrid LED-T5HO reduced disco and less shadows also notice how excessively busy the glitter is from LED compared to MH -see these lights http://blog.aquanerd.com/2013/04/pacific-sun-ariel-led-t5ho.html), your thoughts?

4pc Channel A 410nm UV -- 3.12 - LEDS TO MATCH RADIUM PRO
4pc-Channel B 460~470 blue -- 3.84-LEDS TO MATCH RADIUM PRO
2pc-Channel B 510~520 Green -- 1.92-LEDS TO MATCH RADIUM PRO
2pc-Channel B 630 660 RED -- 1.92-LEDS TO MATCH RADIUM PRO
6PC-Channel C 450~460 royal blue -- 6.24- LEDS TO MATCH RADIUM PRO
6PC-Channel D 3000K /6000K/12000K White -- 6.24-LEDS TO MATCH RADIUM PRO

Note: above math based on watts per color on radium (combined 412nm & 400nm) and assuming that ledzeal runs all LED's at same mah

I know they can change any color of led on any channel but all chanells must have 6 leds. As far as the XMLu2 you need to ask them. They might be able to order it for you and install it. I know for a fact that replacing an led is not hard. Once you remove theplexiglass and the optics the led can be soldered off. You could order your own XMLu2 and solder them on.

I have always enjoyed using T-5's instead of halides. My plan with these led lights was to use them alone but as I mentioned in prior post, the combo with the T-5's a like a lot.

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks .
Also I meant to write Radion pro as in XR30Wpro not Radium. I guess was dreaming for the days I could still afford my electric bill with 400 watt radiums on my 180g

That color combo will work. Don't get orange and 90 degree optics for everything will work fine.

yeah I was not so hip on the orange ether.
hum so you think 90 optics all around, I was thinking the 120 for the green and red prob. does not matter all that much.

did anyone who got these pay customs? plz PM what u paid so it not public if u want.
thae price adds up by time you pay for there controller. shipping, paypal fees and customs.

kina a bummer they will not work with my controller save some $$$ = space. oh well.

happy thanksgiving everyone!

Hi Gillguy, thank you for all your insight on this light. Do you think a single 60" unit could be used on a L90" x W24" x H18" display? Its an 8ft x 2ft tank but the ligtht will be offset away from the overflow. The overflow will have foot print of 12" x 6" against one of the 24" ends.

No,you need two of the S200 36inch.

Which one will I need? S150 or S200. For a mix reef. My tank is a 65g 36Lx18Wx24H.

 

[djmicl]

Forgot to mention that I will be using the adjustable brackets. Also my tank has the corner flo on one side so I kinda lose one corner of my tank. What degree optics should I get?

S200 with 60 optics

 

[djmicl]

Thanks Gillguy. Even if I use the adjustable brackets. I guess it will be about 4 inches above the water? Still go with the 60 optics?

The wireless option is cool as hell. Very clean look. Less wires. Worth the 30 bucks. IMO.

Yes 60 degree will work because you'll be using the S200 which is the exact length of your tank, 36 inches. You'll have three clusters of 24 leds and that will give you plenty of coverage. The 60 optics will also give you better penetration for you 24 inch depth.

Looking to get the S200.
tank is only 12 inch high and 20inch wide, , so should I get the 120 optics?

 

[djmicl]

Hi Gillguy. Was reading your previous post. I'm getting the same configuration of LEDs that you suggested. You mentioned that the red and green to get a different optic angle what should I go with? You suggest for my tank to go with 60 optics since my tank was 24 inch deep. Should the red and green be different or keep it at 60? I'm getting the S200 tank size is 36x24 x18.
Thanks

Yes 120 would work for those dimensions

Get the 90 degree for the red and green

Thank you. Gillguy

 

[unze]

can u use them without optics?

 

[Gillguy]

can u use them without optics?

yes at 12 inch height you can

 

[djmicl]

Man my lights shipped and I was unable to change the red and green LEDs to 90degree. How bad is it going to look? Is it easy to swap out?

Looking to custom my leds as follows

wondering if the whites should be spread out a little as they are running across the light.

so maybe like this

rb w rb
b b b b
w rb w
uv b b uv
w rb w
b b b b
rb w rb


do you think i should add a red and green.

just seems that adding one red and green is not really going to do much.

That layout looks great. Red and green not needed
