I bought 2 Reef daylight, 1 UV, 1 sky blue for my frag tank. I’m going to try running all LED on it with just these bars.

That was my plan as well. I already have the sky blue and uv. I Plan to get another sky blue and 1 reef day. And all that will replace my current t5 system.

I'm possibly going to do the same, but taking it slowly. Just ordered my second this week, one in Sky Blue.
First was Sky Blue but with 10 diodes replaced with their 12k and it's great with my main fixture set more blue/purple.

Are there any tanks lit with ONLY the 18k "Reef Daylight" bar?

I would like to see how it looks by itself. It should be on the bluer side, but i'm unsure if it'll actually be more yellow than I imagine

Someone posted a video earlier on this thread that I had made; I displayed all 3 colors independently to give a good idea on what they look like.

On my phone so can't dig up the link atm.

I saw, but personally, I have no idea what it looks like unless it's lighting coral and rockwork.

Hi Rakie ,
at this moment the Or Bar LED is only On/OFF . We decided not to go with dim Driver because it reduce the power output by 20%.

So we decided to built a small control box that Clients can add btw the driver and the light .
It is a Bluetooth system that will be control by android and iOS phone .

We also working on 60inch .

That is amazing news! I know a lot of people want a 60" bar :)

Do you happen to have any pictures of the Reef Daylight bar lighting a tank just by itself?

Hi Rakie,
Please read this review first
https://orphek.com/product-review-or120-reef-daylight-blue-sky/

We recommend the Reef day togther with blue sky to get a nice crispy loom same as T5 .
You also can ask to change the red and some white LEDs to blue so you can get more blue look
All in one unit .

If you email us to [email protected] we can share photos with just Reef day . Because we can not upload pictures here only share a link to the picture.

Will I be able to add this control box to my current or120 bars?

Added the single OR120 UV/Violet to 8 bulb t5 (6 blue+, 1 purple+) Very happy with the results at the dawn and dusk times with only the 4 blue + running. Can definitely see colors popping. Here’s a pic with all 8 bulbs and the UV, a side shot of just the blue and UV, and a night shot of just the UV only. About to pull the trigger on a blue sky to add to the mix. Very impressed with build quality and functionality of the light. Thanks James and Orphek!

Hi Chad , yes . We built wide range control dim box so it will fit all models . Also you can control the unit from about 50m and 200 units the same .
This is the most advanced Bluetooth system . And not need any extra internal router . You can connact direct .


Above is how the chip look like we finished this part we working now on the app , very cool up all with drag and drop . Can set time on and off smart dim point for sunrise sun set clouds mode etc .

Still happy with mine. Will mount my Sky Blue this weekend.
James, when will the dimmer be available and any guess on cost?

One thing I will say on these is the bars get pretty warm. Like right at the point where it might be too hot to keep your hand on it for a long time but doesn't burn at touch but cooler than t5. I'm unsure why this is. My main fixture stays very cool.

Hi TexasTodd
The dim part is in development still lots to do I belive it will be ready in 2 month . No price yet .

The fixture should get hot because there is no FAN and the all body is a heatsink .

The OR spectrum is based on the Atlantik V4 spectrum
The OR reef is Ch 1 of the Atlantik so it not so blue .
Togther with OR blue sky
It give both CH1+2
The OR Uv/ Violet = Ch3

Please check this video to understand more

Is OR Reef one of the color setups you can get a light bar in? Please show. I thought there was Reef Day, Blue Sky, UV, and custom for salt versions. I'm thinking you meant Reef Day.
