After work.... Excuse the aquascaping.. Had to move some LR out of sump temporarily while I modify it.
 
can you give us some specs on that model # ?

This is really all I can find "Vertex Aquaristik is releasing a big brother to their Illumina 200, the Illumina 260. There isn't much information available on this new Illumina 260, but it is confirmed that the light will feature Cree LEDs and is 30% brighter than the older 200 model. If the 260 shares any similarities with the 2oo, it will probably also feature an on-board controller which will allow hobbyists to create many different dawn to dusk effects and even weather simulations. Additionally, the Illumina 260 will most likely come in a wide variety of sizes from 1′ to 6′. There is currently no official price or power consumption information on these models, as Vertex only announced the light a week ago, but as information comes to light, we'll be sure to update."

I'll show you a link to the Illumina thread I found
 
Is that the 3 foot model or 2 foot?, what are the dimensions of the tank?., how do you find the coverage front to back

Thanks
 
The tank is 29,52 x 22,44 x 19,7 inch. The light is the 2 foot model it has 5 Led modules on it.

thanks for the firmware update.. I wasnt sure if it was a firmware thing or if new hardware was required.

coverage front to back is more than enough.. I have my light 4 inches off the water becuase of spill over. I imagine when i start putting livestock in the tank I will have to dim the lights.

Side to side is also more than enough.. you can clearly see the side spill over on the pictures ive posted above.
 
Although it says firmware, it is an application that is to be installed on the computer. From that V-Link application you can configure the settings for the lights.
 
We can get them local here in Toronto. Due to some patent stuff they can't be sold in the USA right now.
Send me a PM i can help you score one if you want.
