Reef Brite LED's - Now Taking Orders!

[ganjero]

Eric, this will give even more pop than what the powerbrite's do in my opinion. You would be very happy with them!

ganjero, you wouldn't want to run them in a canopy that gets up to 180* or anything, but normal operating temps within a canopy that range in the 105 - 120* temps shouldn't be much of a problem. Just make sure you are venting the canopy with some fans.

I'm guessing I should not have any problems, since my canopy is open on the top and the back and has fans on both sides.

You should be just fine with that setup.

I wanted to give everyone an update on the ReefBrite modules. They are now shipping with a slightly different = more efficient power supply, that is not adjustable. All power supplies will be driving the LED's at 100%. ReefBrite will then be releasing a separate available power supply, eta forthcoming, that will be automatically controllable via an external control from 0-10v. For those wanting to control these on a Neptune, Profilux, etc., it's getting closer!

Good news!!!!!
Jeremy ,please put me in line . if i have two modules do i need i two controllers or one?

ms

I'm not exactly sure of the details yet, I just know that the power supply is in the works. As I get more info on them I will post back here.

It's awesome that they are releasing a power supply that will drive these at the full 3W - I was never really sure why they were only driven at half-power previously. Or did I mis-understand, and did you mean that the new power supply would still only be about 1.5W, but not adjustable?

 

[Jeremy B.]

They will not be driving them at 3w. After going back and rereading what I had posted, I can see how that can be confused. They will be driven at 100% of intended wattage, which is roughly 1.25w, sorry for the confusion.

jeremy ,

has reefbrite come out with a mounting system yet? this sounds like a potential for my new tank with the 1-10v control that will be coming out

thoughts??

 

[Kraylen]

Reef Brite does have a mounting fixture out now.

 

[Jeremy B.]

@larry, they do have the bracket amount available for the modules. I will get pricing on them and post back here.

Jeremy,

Could I see a picture of the led-side of the 48" model? I am concerned about where the lights are positioned in relation to my sea swirl (mounted center back wall of 4' tank). Can I assume that a 48" model would look like 2-24" models in a row?

 

[SOLANA34]

did anyone put this in their refugium?? I am thinking of a 15 inch version

do you have any pics or can you lead me to the pics of it wanna light a 30x30 cube and would like the clean look

 

[somdinwong]

@bhelne01, I think that 4 modules would replace 6 x 54w T5 tubes. In the next few weeks I'm finally getting my hands on the brackets for the ReefBrite's, and will be putting 2 x blue modules and 2 x blue/whtie modules over a system that is 30" front to back.

any word on these yet

The plastic is still on the lens, which is why it's kind of foggy.

 

[SOLANA34]

do you have closer pictures of the brackets and any mounting legs etc.. I would like to use this in a refugium

Hey Jeremy B. I have a 65 gal cube 25-25-24 Sps dominated how many and which ones would i need to replace my 250w hqi 14k???
reply post #79
@dcook, 6 modules front to back if the aquascaping is towards the middle. If the aquascape is from front glass to back glass, then I would go with 7 modules. This will give you as good of coverage as what an all T5 setup would, but only with more punch down into the tank.

Now my question(s)
funds are almost in place for purchase. I'm thinking about full reef brite led setup. You recomended 6-7 modules. What combo do you recomend ie 2:1 ratio (2 whites to 1 blue) = 4 whites 2 blues or 3 whites 1 50/50 2 blues ?????

 

[dcook]

Wait i just checked your site i can buy 24" 2x90W AquaIllumination Modular LED Light System w/ Controller for the same price :hammerUH

Here is a closer photo of the bracket that they come with on each end. You can reverse these brackets, and spin them, to give you multiple different mounting options.

Thanks!...and your reply answered my 2nd question if the module strips come with a protection lense....
