PAR 38 LED bulbs

[amheck]

Tagging along for pics of v2 of the mount. These PAR38 lamps look interesting, but I didn't particularly care for the track lighting that some were using to mount the lamps. I would personally prefer a more traditional enclosure, but I don't know if that's even possible with the size of the lamps.

evil66, how many of these would you reccomend on a 90 gal tank? I just switched over from 8 t5s to a 2x250 watt mh system. But I'm really thinking about these.

Thanks

Kris

evil66, If run par38 inside canopy, What would be min height ? My canopy is 10" tall, is this possible to installing par38 inside it?

 

[maddog2002]

Tank is 24" Height, Mix Reef, SPS will keep in top(not more than 17" deep). Tank length is 72" and width is 18". I would like run as hybrid Mode mixed with 2*60" ovedrived T5HO. If possible, how many par38 bulbs do I need inside 10" height Canopy?
Thanks so much for the help!

Evil,

I called and talked to Chris yesterday and just wanted your opinion also. BTW Chris was awesome to deal with and very helpful.

I am going to run a 4x24W ATI Sunpower over my 40 gallon and then run 3 of these PAR38 bulbs. I want a PAR 38 bulb shining on each island of rock that I will have. I really like to the 20K version of these but am afraid of it being too blue with the T5's.

This is my idea on what to use. For T5 I was thinking of running 2 ATI Blue Plus, 1 KZ Fiji Purple and 1 GE 6500K. Then I would run 2 12k and 1 20k of the LED's. I would be using 80 degree optics and have them maybe 8 to 10 inches off the water. It all depends on how I can rig my system up. I know the ATI will probably be roughly 8 inches off the water and then the LED bulbs will go in front.

How does that sound?
