Would I need a 48" strip for accent lighting on a 48" tank, or do you think a 36" strip would sufice on a 48" long tank.

Looks very good! What is width for this?

Just want to point out the difference is only $20, I think it's no brainer to get the full length for your tank.
mcclandy - If you were going to use these as a stand alone lighting solution, on an all sps tank I personally wouldn't reccomend it for anything deeper than 20". However, if it's just for supplementation purposes only, then up to 30" depth would be just fine.
connecticut chichlids - I agree with Strategic Reef that the price difference is so minimal that I would just get the full length unit.
The width of these modules are 1 7/8".

I just received a 36" unit and installed it over my tank and all I can say is "WOW"!
I have this unit along side 3 48" VHO actinics and I prefer the look of the LED unit alone (with the VHO's off). So I plan to just remove the VHO's and replace with another Reefbrite.
In my opinion, the LED's make the reds, yellow and greens pop while muting the blues (although that wasn't intuitive to me).

Some please post a picture of the power supply unit also is there a way to daisy chain 2 36" units together??

Its just like most laptop powersupply but there is a voltage display and knob to adjust the voltage 15-24VDC.
No unless its a fish only setup.
Has anyone run these on a Kill-A-Watt to figure out an equivalent wattage rating? I'd bet a lot less than the same length T5... If they can put out about double the PAR of a Blue Plus, I'd be curious to see how much I could reduce my power consumption by replacing two Blue Plus with one of these.

Here are some more photos for you guys that show the power supply a bit better......
Jeremy, your website said one is equal 2 ATI light bulb . What is the comparison ? what 6 LED = ?? ATI watt? how many watt for 1 LED ?
The picture show the Blue color is look like VHO light (purple look). Is it true ?
I am searching to add shimmer look for my T5 set up. Thanks
Daniel,
It would be length for length in comparison to the ATI. If you're comparing the 48" ATI Blue Plus, and the 48" Reef Brite, count on the Reef Brite being right around double the par of the Blue Plus lamp.
The blue is not quite a 460nm blue in my opinion, but it's not purple / blue like the vho Super Actinic either. I would say it's around 445 - 450 if I had to put a guess to it.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Thanks Jeremy for clear up.
One more question. Do you think it will add shimmer look along with HO T5 6-8 bulbs?

It just has a slight flicker effect that would not be noticable under other lighting.
