Bulk LED Fixture order

[Biggar]

I am thinking about picking up some LED fixtures. They are full spectrum just like the one John picked up.

I would need 3 myself. Maybe if we order more we can get a discount.

Let me know if your interested and ill see what seller says.

They are listed at 178.00.

FAQ:

1. How many do I need for my tank?
Topledseller: One unit for 24'' long tank while 2pcs for 48'', 3pcs for 72'' and 4pcs for 96'' hanging 12-16'' above water.

2. Do I have to choose Lens? What is the degree of your Lens?
Topledseller: 90degree Secondary Optical Lens will focus stronger lights into your tank. Especially good for depth ≥24'' tank.

3. Why 120W and not 165W(=55pcsx3W)?
Topledseller: 1) This item is using true 3watt LED chips. 2) Max Power cunsumption: 118W/120W(220V/110V). 3) To ensure its longlife span, we drive this light with 480-530mA safe currenty, so each LED is about 2.2W. 4) Extra Watt drived by higher currenty mean less in growing Coral Reef since PAR value won't increase too much.

4. In case of failure of an LED, is it easy to change?
Topledseller: 1) The rest of LEDs will continue to operate if one goes out because all our LEDs are with a Zener which work as a fuses. 2) It's easy to change if you are able to use solder. 3) UNPLUGED BEFORE ALL REPAIRS.

5. Do you ship to Canada J7K 0B2?
Topledseller: We delivery to the USA(Free), small extra cost for shipping to Canada/UK/EU and Australia.

6. I'm really interested in buying this light, my only drawback is that the light is from China. I know products from there have excellent quality. But, if something is wrong and I have to return it, the shipping back to China is going to be expensive. Is there something that you can do? Like include a return shipping label just in case that the light is defective and I have to use the warranty?
Topledseller: We currently partner with the USA/UK companies to help you use the warranty. Return for repairing or replacement are welcome only if you contact us & provide detail information requested by After Service Department.

What province in china is it shipping from?

Edit: NVM Found it on ebay, Shenzhen is a reputable area. I have been working with a company for the past 2 years that presides there. Generally they are good honest people, I wouldn't be concerned with them taking care of you. I however don't see much more than a $30 discount with a large order. (50 pcs at least)

I think is 2 pcs offer on ebay will be as good as it gets for a smaller order.

I also just purchased one.. I would have jumped aboard if it was like a day or so ago..

Mike,

I'm Also looking for LED for my new system and i have done my research on the fixtures that you are looking at for a tank that is 30" deep and also another 12" above the water i don't think that it will be enough PAR grow SPS or to reach the bottom.
if you think that we can get a better deal i will go with you.

I'm been looking at the Reef breeders LED and for a 24" fully adjustable and programmable LED fixture is a better deal for the money and i think we can get a discount if we order more that 6 (i will need 3 for my system)

Take a look and let me know.

Not exactly following you here? You say you dont think the fixtures mike posed have enough par yet the fixture you posted has the same bridgelux leds and only has 51x3 watt bulbs while the unit mike posted has 55x3 watt bulbs. In my opinon, the only advantage you have is the "programmable" aspect of it. The unit mike posted is also "fully adjustable" just have to be done manually. The reefbreeders unit can only control white/colors independant to the blues just like the other unit, it would be cool if each color channel would be independent like on the radions or the AI's. However it does have the moon lights. Does anyone have experience with the reefbreeder units? They are wider and the bulbs are spaced out more. That doesnt always give you more spread, sometimes it causes "spotting" with the different colors. Thast one of the things i would be concerned about. The reefbreeder lights were actually one of the units i looked at before buying the lights i ended up getting. Also the appollo units, but the appollo units are non dimmable which i think is ridiculous and they are only blue and whites.

 

[blackthunda77]

Also, the guy i got them from was selling them for $165 shipped. Not sure if that helps, not even sure if he will do group buy. Just a thought though.

Thanks for bringing that website to my attention. They actually have a very similar unit as the one posted above with the option for 60 optics for 199.00. May create spot lighting as im only going to have them 8-10" above water. But...should be plenty for sps

That 24" x 24" A4 unit is looking mighty sexy @ 299 with controller. But still....its only has 48 lights as compared to the ones listed above at 55 bulbs. Does the controller push more than 2.2watts out of each LED. If not, they are actually weaker. The controller doubles the price, and I plan on having my apex control the cheaper units.

I was planning on keeping a couple of my strips of leds anyway just case I need more par.

Ill keep ya posted

Good to know. Thanks

So....we may be able to get 6 for 900.00. 150 each.

Which fixture are you guys talking?

What Type of LED fixture did you get? Photon 24 also has a option of 90, 60 an 120 degree optic options for different depth and yes is nice to have a programmer and not a nob that you have to turn. as far as spotting you going to have anyways.

i was also looking at the appollo units are nice but are not dimmable (the 2013 units are dimmable)

 

[blackthunda77]

I have the fixture that Mike posted. For me programmable dimming was not a factor, i usually find the intensity i like and that i think works and i just stick with it. Dimming for sunrise and sunset effect WOULD be nice but on and off works fine for me. I couldnt justify the $150+ price difference between the 2 fixtures for just auto dimming/programming. I have it hooked up to my APEX so i dont need to be able to program on and off with the proprietary controller. Again, im not knocking the fixture. I think its nice, but in my set up the one i have works best cost wise.

As far as spotting goes, i dont get ANY spotting with the one i have. Its about 15" above the water. I believe it has to do with the tighter cluster of the LEDs.

There is a dist. In st. Augustine for the evergrow LEDs. He also handles warranty. Guys name is don and contacted thru salty aquatics on Facebook. I bought 9 d120's from him cpl. Months ago.

Satisfied? How have they worked for you? Everything grown well under them? Interested to find out.

 

[FoxInSox]

I have those exact lights from the same exact seller. They work quite well. I received them from China in exactly three days. They're great lights and quite strong. I keep mine at around 40% strength. I upgraded from the traditional blue/white to full spectrum. Ask away...

 

[Kayo2289]

Ask away...

Well now that you have asked me to ask, I don't know what to say..

How did your SPS react to the change in lights? Favorably?

Did it add that pop that sometimes is missing in MH's?

What type of light did you switch from?

How many units over what size tank?

Overall satisfaction?

1. I irradiated a Bird's Nest from the brightness as I had it up to around 80%+. It's deceiving with focal optics as it looks less bright than it actually is. Other than that error all of my SPS have reacted favorably with no problems. I'd suggest 30-60% max. If you could use a PAR meter, you could fine tune it exactly. Mine grew legs and walked away so I had guesswork to do. The Bird's Nest colony survived also.

2. That color enhancement issue is more of an aesthetic thing that is person to person based. I can't say it adds "x" as to another person visual quality may be different. The point behind me getting full spectrum lighting was to encourage chromoprotein growth across a broader spectrum of lighting that is typically only found in certain halide fixtures. Coming from strictly blue and white fixtures prior, I noticed a dull, flatness that I wanted to work on with my corals via using these fixtures. Again, this could be entirely aesthetic. Also I find typical blue/white combination LED's to not hit certain NM lengths required for complete photosynthesis. The lower 400's for example were limited using just Royal Blue LED's, etc. I will say that I like the coloration of things better from my personal opinion but that and a dollar....

3. I used three blue/white LED fixtures that people would see at LFS. The similar box ones that have dual dimmer switches. Prior to that I had a DIY LED system that while fun to make was a complete waste of money by comparison. Before that, Halides.

4. 180 - 3 total arrays, approximately 12" from the water with egg crate covering the open ports of the aquarium.

5. Highly.

If I can elaborate further, let me know.

There are probably 100-150 d120's being used in Tampa/ft. Myers areas. Clubs have done a cpl. Group buys and everyone seems pretty happy even with full sps systems. Many have gone with a full custom layout which is avail. At no extra charge I believe. I've only set 3 of them up on a frag system and I really like them. The Rest are for a 300dd in the works. The biggest adjustment so far is having to use a heater as there's no heat as compared to running 250 mh. They may not be equivalent to the high dollar fixtures but to be able to buy 6 for my 300dd for about a grand compared to 3-4
Times that I'm more than satisfied.

Good to know Foxxy, Take you for your word.
