Chinese LED Lights

[Dapg8gt]

I have a question....could somebody post up pics of each fixture, and give a comment about each, like price/coral growth/ and overall satisfaction?? Just talking about the IT120 or the d120....I'm confused as to which one is which...even after 26 pages of reading. I just bought a 40breeder and thinking about using a Chinese fixture. Thanks Josh

Just to to evergrows website it shows both fixtures. Pretty much D120 manual knobs for dimming. IT120 has a controller/timer built in. different price different functions

Going to try and use one over a 36" tank.

Im ordering from Twilight , check them out no delay same system but without the remote. I was told that their whites are dim, so i upgrade from epistar to bridgelux for extra 16.oo with 90 degree optics. Im placing an order for 4 fixtures

Does anyone have a layout of taunting led wise and a picture of it overly outrank as well...
Also what about the new tri dem is that a better deal because he 120 reg cost 224 or he 90 degree op and the tri dim is 250 with he 90 dare op

Sorry my iPad has stuped auto spell fill in an I didn't pay attention. What I was asking does anyone have the led layout for the reefbreeders standard 120 watt bridgelux system? And a picture of it on over a tank.also it cost 224 to get it with the 90 degree lens.
They also sell on their website another unit that is called 120 watt tri dim. It costs 250. What do you guys think?

Finally got my Twilight fixtures installed!!

Finally had a few hours to build and install a hanging system for my lights. Overall I am pretty happy with them, they are a big improvement over what I had before. I am only operating them at 50% and I have to say they are pretty darn bright. These are the Twilight fixtures with three dimmers and their newer grid layout. Here are a couple before and after pics.

They do look much improved. Very nice.

 

[boxer385]

what kind of leds did you order in your fixture?

 

[mlott132]

I went with the Epistar LEDs. Combination of 660 red, 400 violet, 10000k white, 6500k white, 440 blue, and 470 blue. I also used 1W 460 blues for the moonlights.

ok, ready every single post in the old thread and in this one and came up with the following DIY layout for my d120s. going for an 18k look.

can i get your opinions, specifically bhazard? tried to follow your guidance as best as possible on ratios and utilizing the full spectrum for optimal coverage for all corals.

Should be good. Any time a new ratio is tried, there are no guarantees and it is experimental. It follows most guidelines into getting that look.

Visual evidence of one month of growth from my fuzzy acro:

9/11/12

10/21/12

It has encrusted onto the rock, and several new legs have sprouted.

Looks great! Is this under the 2040 on your original LED layout?

These are the fixtures I recently ordered from twilight. Looks good I'm excited.
Around how much did they cost you. I ended up right around $200 total , for the 3way timer and optics .

Tank looks great cant wait to get mine. Tracy was helpful from twilight I sent here around 50 emails over a month time, she even called me a couple times, lol

I paid around $400 for the pair with shipping. I still get emails from Lyn every now and then, he has been very helpful. They are working on a couple new fixtures. One of them is an upgrade to the auto dimmer unit that you will be able to program through your smartphone.

Has anyone got the replacment board from Evergrow about the clock issue?

Did they jack up the price of these? I saw people getting quotes around $250.

And the new fixture you are talking about is from Twilight?
