Hi,

I just buy the Profilux Beginner pack and check to add some accessories.

Question : What is the difference between the spot and the stick? Same brightness ?

What is the coverage of each? ( i have a aqua of 90g (48x18x24))

Thanks

Chris
 
Hi

The brightness is the same, the spot gives a more diectional light path, which is good for simulating things like moon intensity more in one area and then fading across the tank.

The stick gives a more generic all over coverage.

Hope that helps
 
I have 2 sticks over my tank (72 gal bowfront, also 48" long)

The sticks give a nice uniform glow.

They are quite bright at 100% I only run mine up to 33%
 
Ok, thanks for the info.

Another one, the port L1&L2 (0-10v) will be use for the led ( L1 for the Moon and L2 for the Sunrise. If i want to control 2 tunzes pumps, i use the L3&L4?

What cable do i need to purchase ?

The beginner pack can control led (moon-sunrise) and 2 tunzes without purchase a expansion module?

And.. last one : I want to add a 4 Way Switchable Plug Bar to contole 2 MH & T5 (on-off only no dimmer ) under the tank (near the controller) and use the 6 plug bar in the basement for the sump-frag tank ( pump, skimmer, RODI, heater.. etc ).

Problem with this configuration? I have about 20 feet between the aquarium and sump.

Thanks and sorry for newby question:p
 
Chris the beginner pack can control LED's and Tunze. You will need to purchase Tunze cable's 1 and 2 and a YL2-1 splitter for the cables.

As long as you are only running one LED you won't need any additional cables unless you need extra cord length at which point you could add a VSL5 cable. Two LED's require a YL2-1 or YL2-2,5 splitter cable.

I personally would use High AMPS for any metal halide lighting applications. The High amps switch on and off via a socket on a digital power bar. I suppose extension cords could achieve this from 20 feet away. You will need a VSL5 cable to control your digital power bar as the cord that comes with it is 2.5 meters long.
 
Good thread. How long are the sticks? and how bright are they at 100% output? Can you compare them to like, a single actinic/blue PC bulb?
 
They are 55cm long, there is no LUX data for these units, but they are very bright, if you scan youtube using key search words ProfiLux LED you will see some great video of these units in action, including the storm effect lightning show
 
Thx...

Here's a laugh: when I searched on "ProfiLux LED" I kept coming up with Led Zepelin videos! LOL! I changed it to "ProfiLux Light" and got better results.

Harry, if you ran them at 100%, how would they compare to, say, a PC actinic running over the tank? I am wondering about how they would work for dusk lighting after the halides go off... thx!
