Hi 64 Ivy,
Everything is included in the price:
* Pendant
* Ballasts
* Bulbs
* Hanging Kit
* Moonlights
J Craft,
The confusion may have come in with the fact that YES ACLS can be added to a SOLESET at a later date. BUT Infinity must be purchased with ACLS from the start.
HTH.
thanks,
AO

The ACLS can be connected to any fixture. Mine are connected to LAIIIs. The wiring also allows for on/off control of T5 ballasts--that's hard to do without using the sfiligoi pendants with integrated T5s b/c of the wiring, but it's possible--again, it's just on/off control of the T5s. Currently I have my ACLS setup for a 2 hr ramp up period, 4 hr peak and 2 hr ramp down. It's very, very cool and "natural looking", but I dunno there's any physiologic effects on say photosynthetic animals. Certainly my clams and softies are doing just fine, but I can't comment on the more colorful animals b/c my fish eat 'em all......

Should I start a new thread with this heading:
"ACLS dimmable ballasts cause fish to eat LPS corals"
Seriously...I wanted to get these so bad...I consider them the Ferrari of lighting...you don't even have to turn them on to look cool!
That said, I ended up getting an Aqua Medic setup for much less money that I'm happy with. But...maybe some day...

Hey moonpod. You should only have your sunrise and sunset last 1hour each. Other wise it is REALLY hard on your bulbs and such. That is what Alessandro in Italy told me.
I think that the ACLS unit is what makes these lights. Once I found out I couldn't add on the infinity model I had to spit out a few more bucks for two more. I was going to get to and get two others alittle later., but like I said before. The were worth it to me.

Steve, the 2 hr dim/brighten is so cool though.....it's much more drawn out ya know? I figure, if I've gotta change bulbs every 9 mos instead of a year BFD ya know?
Mike, the ACLS has a built in eballast.
Hah, jds, I wish I could blame the ACLS...no it's just the usual culprits...angels not being good reef citizens....it's ok, now I can get some triggers and what not and not stress it too much...I guess maybe my clams, but none of those are "special".

Mike I would find that to be interesting.....I dunno how they would make a magnetic HQI dimmable ballast......now whether or not they want to call their eballasts "HQI" is a debatable issue--of note in the past there have been european market eballasts that run bulbs more the way a HQI does vs the run of the mill US/Asian eballast.

I believe that is why these lights are so special, Because of the fact that they dim HQI.
