I was stuck Either these or a Rapid 108LED kit. They both worked out to around the same cost, But im getting lazy as i get older, So im trying 3 of the 3w bridgelux black units first. If they turn out to be ****, Ill DIY.

630 MW means they are running at roughly 3.40 to 3.35 Volts.
Since Watts = Amps X Volts
0.63 Amps X 3.35 Volts = 2.11 Watts
0.63 Amps X 3.40 Volts = 2.14 Watts
Now if you looking at total power used by a fixture with an innefecient driver you could have roughly 1 Watt used by the driver for every 2 watts of lighting. So you could have a 60 LED fixture using 180 Watts of electricity at the wall but only 128 Watts are applied to the LED's themselves. Then you have a precentage of the LED power converted to heat and the rest converted to light.
This is why it is hard to judge fixtures other than with an unbiased testing source.
Different LED's have different heat to light ratios
Simular LED's oppereate differently at different power ranges.
Different drivers have different amounts of power that they consume
Different Fans use different amounts of power and create different levels of noise.
Different Optics cause different levels of reflection, refraction, and diffusion.
It is very possible to design and build two seperate LED systems that both use 120 Watts of power total. However with one using the most effecient design it could produce two or more times the actual light as the other unit.

Ok good to know, I took it a step further and source a few mean well(sp) drivers that would drive the fixtures just incase.

explain the optics? what and when?
Led optics 101
Led optics 101
Optics/lenses are used to focus led light to increase penetration :hmm2:
Fixtures without optic lenses are operating at 120 degrees this is fine for tanks under 24" as the light spreads out
For deeper penetration :hmm2:
Optic lenses are used to focus the light beam... 90 degree being most common...
60 lenses are prone to cause beams so they need to be mixed in with other optics ( options you have with DIY kits )

Yes

Yes.... Eshine has some units that do just that
Check out the 48x3w with solar simulator they have

Are there any controllers for these fixtures? http://www.aliexpress.com/store/317...-120w-55x3w-led-aquarium-light-with-Lens.html
Thanks for the fast replies!

Just get a couple $5 timers from home depot... Or a digital timer from aliexpress.com
My tank is 30"L x 12"w x 18" deep. I was thinking that the tank only being 12" wide the optics would help with the overspill of light and with them being dimmable i could keep them dialed down not to burn the corals.
Or am i wrong and should i go with the 120*?

Sorry to say but the big drawback with black boxes is customization.
90 degree optics in that tank will cause spotlight effect on sand bed
Over spill is remedied by putting outer LEDs at an angle to cast away from the glass...
You should be fine with the 120 degree lens...

Ianwraab how legit do you feel the warranty is on the unit from aliexpress the 120 watt one with 55x3 watt leds the one that 175? Is there solid proof they will really warranty it for the 3 full years they claim?
A good as any other
A good as any other
I'd say yes... I was very impressed with the service I received... Compared to the other china companies I poke with alibaba.com is absolutely phenomenal..
Anyone can lie...
Bestbuy screwed me on my extended warranty on my laptop... You think they would be the most reliable....
I bought 2last night and I'm a bit tight with my money so I'd say...
Yes they will do as promised....
Sam Chen at alibaba.com is the man!
