Hi everyone, while I saw here that it might be some hassle to get spare parts and also I get calls and emails from old contacts asking for them, I like to let you know, that we can supply you with compatible spare parts. Just send me an email with the needed parts: sales@scitronix.com
Btw, we have the possibility to produce pads to upgrade to a 600 (latest in LED). we need only enough people with interest.
Due the fact we are a professional electronic company we also can offer any kind of service and refurbishing on these lights.
It's because we are also big fans of this LED system.
Greetings

@Hudds: Sure, we are working on a new PAD which will have the newest LEDs made by Cree which will have a PAR Value arround 550-600 depending on the power you serve it with.
Based on the Mean Well drivers, which are regulary coming with the Illumina you will have a roughly 550 PAR Based on the Illumina Rating. So doesn't matter if you have a Illumina-200 or an Illumina-260 or 360, with the new pads from us your Illumina will become a Illumina 550.
If we get enough request to Produce 1000 Pads. the Pricing will be nearly around 130-150 USD. per PAD (Proper offer and pricing on request and based on availablility)
The only thing a customer needs to do is to remove the Old PADs, Order new from us and press them in the place where to old ones was before.
If a Customer gives us with his Order the Information about size of the Light (300, 600, 900, 1200, 1500 or 1800) we will supply pre configured PAds for easy installation and running out of the box.
Beside this, we can also offer a complete maintaining and upgrade Pack, which includes cleaning, upgrading and checking on any problems. We have the possibilitiy to exchange every single part and repair or exchange it with a new one.
It would be great if people who are interested would let us know so we can see if this is from interest for you guys.
Any questions? Let me know.

$800 BUT you pay shipping from 11764 & any PP fees.

Breathing new life into the Illumina LED system!
XLL 550 upgrade Kit & Spare Pad
"..in order to benefit customers with lights from the first series in 2010."
Write up: "žBlack Coral Series"œ: Konzept der XLL 550 Black Coral Sparepad
Stand: 2-2018
Author: Nicolas Dorweiler & Andreas Schneider, SciTronix GmbH
Requirement:
Over the years the success of the Illumina LED system has earned it a loyal following that has grown to several thousand users worldwide.
As it has been exported to over 45 countries and there is a very manageable second hand market, it can be assumed that many of these lights are still in operation.
This has been confirmed repeatedly through our interactions with users who have successfully operated their fixtures since their release 7 years ago.
Many users continue to report on their satisfaction with the Illumina and the achievements they have made with light-hungry stony corals.
How outstanding this fixture was at the time can be gleaned from reports such as the in depth video produced by Bulkreefsupply:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJOlYH3jS_A&index=1&list=PL5AFC54436CCEC478
Problem analysis:
We have dozens to hundreds of inquiries from wholesalers, retailers and end users asking if we can supply spare parts.
We also handle many inquiries and questions about the possibility of us offering an upgrade, as it was once advertised.
Answer: YES!
Our first consideration was how we wanted to proceed. Should new optimizations be implemented independently for new fixtures, or should 100% compatibility with the previous versions be considered in order to benefit customers with lights from the first series in 2010?
Write up: "žBlack Coral Series"œ: Konzept der XLL 550 Black Coral - Ersatzmodul
XLL 550 Spare Pad, 100% compatibel with Illumina LED System.
Here are the key points to consider:
"¢ 100% compatibility in the event that users just need spare parts
"¢ Ability to do partial upgrades on older units
Each individual part must be compatible with all old parts and software
"¢ Harmonious integration of the new components should be guaranteed
"¢ Users should always have the opportunity to extend the life of the light through upgrades and the fixture as a whole for use over the next 7 years.
"¢ AUX modules should continue to be used without restriction
Based on these factors, the extension of the main modules with color LED's is not viable, as users already have AUX Multicolor modules and should continue to use them.
Furthermore, a pad that includes additional color channels would increase the cost of replacement pads without adding value. It would instead force users to replace the existing pads to restore homogeneity.
We did not want to force customers into a total upgrade !!!
Write up: "žBlack Coral Series"œ: Konzept der XLL 550 Black Coral Aux Multicolor Modul
The Multicolor AUX Module will be back to Life in April as well.
Even for users with large lights, 1500/1800 models for example, exchanging just 5 or 6 pads can achieve a significant increase in performance.
Depending on the reef structure, individual pads can also be replaced by stronger ones to focus on areas without affecting the whole display.
The result is a 100% compatible LED pad with the same color values as the original pads.
Cree's newest LEDs now consume half as much power - allowing for new lights that are twice as powerful but consume the same amount of energy as the older models !!!
The XLL upgrade kit will be offered first to end customers ONLY with a 40% DISCOUNT (before tax). This should convey our strong connection to the Illumina and its users. We also say in this way, thank you - for your years of loyalty and use of this product.
We ship worldwide !!
After publication, the dealers and wholesalers have access to this product.
Outlook:
The XLL family will grow in the future with the new model XLL 600 MC (Multicolor)
This model will not have 100% compatibility with previous models and software, but will expand the product range to the new fixture with latest features:
Planned features:
"¢ Wlan-based connection
"¢ Control via browser-enabled device
"¢ Pad communication via plug connection, and power distribution analogous to the XLL 550 via piercing contacts for easy replacement by users at any time.
"¢ Main modules with an optimization of color values in the 400-480nm range based on the classic "Actinic Blue".
"¢ Extension of the main modules with the following colors:
"¢ UV (405nm, 420nm)
"¢ red / dark red (620nm / 660nm)
"¢ Warm white
"¢ Maximum number of LEDs with 19 pieces in total.
It will also be possible to retrofit existing Illuminas. However, this will no longer be done through a subsidized offer. Furthermore, all pads including the display unit have to be replaced in these instances.
Since this will not be the right option for every user, we decided to take the intermediate step with the XLL 550.
Best regards

Can some one maybe give me some advice or point me in the right direction. I have the Illumina sr260 900mm long unit. No aux pads installed and never had issues with it.
My problem is for the past 3 or 4 months my light pads are dying 1 by 1. Also if the power trips it doesnt retain the date and time (but that is most probably a bad battery).
I would just like to know if someone had a similar issue and what was done to resolve it or do I need to start looking at buying new light pads and if I do where would be the best places with the best prices. I have read the above posts but would like to know if anyone supplies to South Africa.
Also I live in South Africa and I am struggling to get hold of any support from Vertex.

Nic...I hope you can help...I don't have enough posts yet to qualify to send you a PM.
Anyway, I finally updated firmware on my 1200, added four multicolor modules and all was great. I couldn't leave well enough alone and added two Royal Blues and one UV module so now every slot is full. I fired the fixture up and noticed the power indicator on one of the Meanwells began dimming and eventually died. Only one side of each of the original pads LED's fired and some of the multicolor modules. I unplugged everything at that point. I'm no engineer but it sure seems to me that a Meanwell has failed (even though the fixture hasn't been run more than twenty or so hours in its entire existence---I bought it new) and I simply need to replace it, however, I realize the 1200 with just the original pads is 320w and each Meanwell is 221. Did I add too much wattage by adding all those auxillary modules? In short, do you agree that a dead Meanwell is the source of my problem and, if so, do you:
a. think I need two new higher capacity Meanwells
b. think I should just replace the original Meanwell that died
c. have a totally different problem
Thanks immensely in advance for any and all help.

My old computer crashed and I now need to download the software for my light again, but can't find where I can get it. Can anyone help?

Ok so I found the software and installed but I can't do anything with it. It keeps saying "file corrupted" and won't do anything.

Hello,
I know that SciTronix has some costumers who upgraded his fixture to a XLL550. I also did it by myself and there was no problem.
Do you know SciTronix is also on Facebook?
