Anyone know which light this is?
Dimensions is 130x50x65cm depth. I really like this everGrow lights but dont sure which i should use. Tank will be mainly SPS dominated with LPS, clams some soft. Another thing is that I'll propably order lights directly from everGrow because Im from europe. But I can find only white and blue pattern. It is possible order full spectrum lights and what pattern you like and which works? Another little question, if I understand it I can connect couple of lights together, one is programed master and another lights are slaves? Or I must program all lights separately and connection is only for power. Thanks a lot and sorry for my questions but I want to do it right.

What do you thing i may use? 2x IT2040 or 3x IT2040 rotated 90 degrees or 4x IT2040 in grid or 2x IT2060? What do you thing?

Its really difficult to capture the 'true' colors given off by a bright light but after adjusting the white balance, using a flash and a white background, I think this photo gives a fairly accurate representation of 10K (bright white, natural look), 14K (still bright white but with a slight blue tint and starts to make colors pop) and 20K (bright overall blue color, makes colors pop, maybe not quite as dim looking as this picture).
Wow! Kinda surprised no one commented about the par values. This is better par than a diy competitor with Cree leds, but theirs is in a 18" fixture.
Thanks for the great color shots. Did you do those yourself?
They're not using Crees, and initially they would have only been XP-E XP-G anyway. Not worth it.
Installed on tank. Lights were 13" above water surface in this pic. I have them at 11" now. If I go any lower there's a "shadow" between the two d-120's because of the 10" wide glass center brace. Crocea on the SB is doing great!:thumbsup:
Bhaz/All.....What is the lowest you would feel comfortable hanging the 2040's off of the water? I do not want to hang them as I like my canopy. I was thinking of engineering something within the canopy to mount these in...but I do not have a lot of room.
Stick them in the canopy but remove the optics.
so 2-3 inches off the water is okay?
Are you using 90 degree or 120 degree optics?
No suggestions?
I have a center brace
