Led lights

i have installed ecoexotic LEDs on a few tanks and they are simply amazing ! they are pricey but well worth the $ IMO . one tank is 3' deep and its so amazing how well the LEDs penetrate the water .the units are very well built and easily installed but i like to install them in canopies as the hangers that are built for them are somewhat a PITA to install and i dont like the way the lights somewhat juggle or bounce around easily . the LEDs are great but the complicated mounting brackets leave just a bit to be desired IMO. LEDs are the way to go if you have a deep tank for sure .Henry i like your units do they have different colored LEDs or are they a single color ?

Hey Dave, the light ratio is like 4 blues to a white bulb. The hanging kit is 4 cables. They were to long for me cause of height limitations. I ended up building a hanger out of a 2x4..
Most of the pics I posted were with just the blues on..
 
Here is my LEDs I love them.

Okay, So Mark Klier,Jeff Lucas and Mike(philly) came over this morning and did some par readings on my tank..
Hre they are as follows..
Just the Blues:
At the fixture-1800
At the top of my rock stack(13 in. from the bottom of the tank)-180
At the shelves (8 in. from the bottom)110
At the sand-90

With both Blue and White on:
At the fixture- Unreadable(higher then the meter could read)
At the waters surface-980
At the top of the rock stack(13 in. from the bottom)-250
At the shelves(8 in. from the bottom)150
At the sand-135...
 
Looked good today man cant wait to see what they do on a big boy tank did you ever find a link to the exact ones you have
 
So awesome to see LED's finally making it into the hobby. CREE baby! The stock has really pulled back on inventory and pricing pressure warnings, but CREE really doesn't compete in that space (commoditization of LEDs). It accounts for 10% of their revenue and only 5% of their growth. They are a bright light LED revolutionary company. As soon as the economies of scale make it such that bright LEDs are available for about $30, you will see their revenues explode. I'm confident the stock will be 80-100 in the next 18-24 months. I've been accumulating Jan 2013 way out of the money calls at 65 and up to 100.
 
Looks really good henry!
I have been wanting to pick up a few more of the LED strips but @ $55 I allready have 2 need like 4 more I might as well just get a true fixture :) you may have pushed me over the edge on pulling the trigger. Are yours dimmable??
 
I really like the fixture Henry has its very simple and the colors look great you really need to see it to believe it. I am truly a cree guy I love mine but I can honestly say if I were going to do it all again I would really think about them mainly because of the price the only negative I can find on them is the fact that since they arent made in the US there isnt a warranty but really how often do you need the warranty anyways.
 
Henry did you ever get the actual name of the fixture I know its identical to the evolution just curios to look them up and see what other product them may have
