chinese led lights

Is the one from reef breeders the same exact fixture (options, remote, hanging fixture)

 

[bhazard451]

Yes, they are the same fixture. They also sell the Nova A4 and A8 now.

Are you happy with the new unit? Also can I manually dim it as well?

For a full spectrum, 18-20k look, is the reef breeders ratio best?

The new unit is awesome. It is perfect for someone who wants an automatic sunrise/sunset light with moonlights, and the price is lower than any other fixture on the market that does that.

I never tried a default 20k look so I don't know, but you would have to use a lot of blue.. I'm guessing around a 2:1 ratio with cool whites, and 3:1 with anything else.

Can you set the lights to completely cut off do you just set it too moonlights

 

[bhazard451]

The moonlights will turn on/off on their own with the default program.

You can manually dim it if you want to as well.

I think the ratio came out near perfect myself. There may be a little too many whites by 2 or 3 leds, but it allows a nice high noon yet still 14k look at 100%. If you manually adjust the blues and whites, you can hit 10k/20k by lowering one of the channels.

I'll be adding in reds and cyans to test soon to see if they are needed for better visual appearance. Evergrow doesn't use Cyan so I had to get them elsewhere.

In some ways, this light and ratio looks better than my DIY Cree, and in other ways the DIY Cree looks better. I like them both.

Where are you getting the replacement LEDs from?

Good to know EverGrow does Online service here, you can chat with they now: http://www.evergrowlighting.com/detail.asp?id=319. And seems they changed the name into IT120.

Bhazard, Ive got two of the 16k Razors, which are currently on backorder, with MD. You seem to have a wealth of knowledge with led spectrums so I was wondering which Razor unit you would favor most. The 16k or the 10k and why? Thanks in advance for your response.

I have 2 d120's w/ 90 degree optics over my 75g and hang them about 7 inches over the water to get a good spread. If you go just above the water line you won't get the lights to reach the edges. Hth.

6 to 10" with 90 degree optics

16k. I really like that one, and would own it if I didn't have the evergrow or a sick diy light. The only thing missing in it is some red, but the warm whites help with that.

bhazard,

Where are you getting the replacment LEDs for the 2040?

 

[BSmitty22]

has anyone used any of these fixtures over a 40 breeder? It seems the 36" length will be hard to get full coverage with just one fixture.
