These lights look like the future, I am waiting to see their price list. Right now they just have 6500K and 8500K but are working on other spectrums.

Yeah, once they come through with a wide range of color temps, and the cost comes down, that could be a viable option. You can also use fewer plasma bulbs as compared to an LED as they're more powerful.

Yeah, I've seen the numbers in a couple of places. He mentioned it beating the heck out of the Lumen Brights as well, but never gave any data, and the data that I've seen on the Lumen Brights vs. LumenArcs looks about the same as these figures.
Let's just say I'm waiting not so patiently.

No release date? That Erc F made it seem like it was going to be very soon

It was, but apparently ran into production issues. You'll also notice that the dimensions changed during that time. Like I mentioned earlier, according to SLS, the reflectors have already been cut and are being assembled this week. Even if you assume they run late, they should still start shipping next week.

Well, didn't get much accomplished over the weekend as we were out of town, but I did manage to get my fuge light finished this evening. I put the T5 reflectors and Workhorse 5 ballasts to good use by building an aluminum frame to hold them over the fuge. For now, I'm just going to use Geismann 6500k bulbs, and will likely on use 2 of the 4. I've decided that when I need room to store frags outside of the display tank, I can build a frag rack for the fuge, and throw in 2 of the actinics in place of the 6500k's, and turn on all 4 bulbs. The only thing left to do is install whatever hanging system I decide on(still mulling that one over) and plug it in.
Here's the top(Backside of reflcetors and the ballasts):
And the bottom:
And the money shot to prove I am capable of wiring a ballast. Even managed it in the first go:

JT,
Do we have to go through an Online dealer to get the lumenmax Elite or can we get it in Woodland?

Woodland appears to just be the manufacturing shop, so you'd still need to go through a retail shop. It doesn't appear that you can order directly from SLS anyway.

That stinks. Seems wasteful. maybe they will drop ship
