Buy Today! THE NEW Orphek OR 120/ 90 /60 - Bars LED Lights

[Orphek]

Are you only using the light bars in this photo? I'm considering your lighting configuration, but its hard to tell if this is the actual representation or are they supplementing another fixture. If not, is there any way to get a shot of just the light bars in action?

I really like the orphek lights but it makes it hard to get a true idea of what the bars only look like.

good questions ! the OR2 bar are look the best over full tank with corals so the color from corals reflect back.
here is a good example of the OR2 + extra OR1 UV as you can see the UV color reflect on the white send but corals reflect fluorescent color

some client mix the OR2 blue with other light so it blend very well this this photo

some client use Just the OR blue with OR reef day
for example this photo:

OR Blue Sky v new OR2 Blue Plus.

Wanted to show some comparisons between the new OR2 Blue Plus spectrum and the previous model: OR Blue Sky on the 90cm versions.

The OR Blue Sky version contained 24 dual-chip LEDs combining Blue & Cyan (460nm & 490nm). The new OR2 Blue Plus spectrum utilises 24 dual-chip LEDs but uses 8 different colour variants ranging from 410nm to 495nm. This provides a wider, richer and balanced spectrum with the effect of a 2 in 1, mixing UV/ Violet with Blue in the spectrum.

Orphek OR2 120 blue plus - Spectrum test by Dana Riddle

“
This is one o the lamps I'm using on the newly set up 120-gallon reef.
The Blue Plus has LEDs peaking at 420, 450, and 495 nm. The 420nm produces some UV radiation which can excite some fluorescent pigments and of course is absorbed by chlorophylls. Light at 450nm is also utilized in photosynthesis. Peridinin absorbs the aqua radiation and channels it to chlorophylls.
The Seneye device reports Photosynthetically Usable Radiation at 83%.

My blue plus looks nothing like the one on the right. Mine has several different blue LEDs and 5 green.

I thought the same thing, but I think there are so many variations to this bar.

Moved mine to the center of fixture and pulled center bulbs. So or120 sky blue and or120uv, 4ati blue+, 2 ati purple+ pics taken with iPhone 7 and TruVue lense

There should not be any variations in a blue+ unless someone got a custom configuration but then it wouldn't be a blue+

The blue plus shown is not close to what I got. I've also seen another variation of the blue plus. They are still a blue plus with a diode or two changed out for the most part except that one shown in the above photo.

That definitely sucks not knowing exactly what your going to get.

I think they're standard blue plus is a standard config. They have changed a but since start but I think they will all be the same from now on. Maybe @Orphek can chime in with a better explanation.

I will say it's pretty cool they let you customize to whatever colors you want at no extra charge.

They first put the 495 & 490 diodes on the ends, but after a few of us mentioned that they didn't blend that well on the ends, they moved them in from the ends (essentially swapped places with the other diodes).

Just to let you guys know. We are now carrying these. We have PALLETS of them on the water, preorders are selling out faster then anticipated though, and we haven't even let anyone know we have them incoming till now. It's going to be nice to get them fast from a US company instead of dealing with ordering via email and having to wait for them to be built, plus you get our support, rewards points, free shipping, no import fees, etc.

3 Styles. Blue Plus, Reef Day & UV/Violet. All with 90 degree lenses to penetrate to 39". We are also now carrying the atlantik V4 & compact V4.

Any estimate yet on when the 150cm will be out?

Hello there, are you running them in 120 or 90 degree lenses?

I ran some very quick PAR tests yesterday on the new OR2 Bars over my frag tank. I am using the new Reef Day Plus and Blue Plus OR2 120's. The numbers were really impressive for just 2 Bars. I was recording PAR of 400+ at the top with 270+ mid tank and below. Lights are positioned at 8'' off the water level and the measurement taken in the image below mid-tank was at 15'' below the water level. Wavemaker on feed mode and Return left on.

Most people are thinking of these LED Bar lights as 'secondary' i.e. running alongside and supplementing their Hydras or Radions etc. but for this tank I am achieving my desired PAR of 250-350 in as much of the tank as possible, so 2 Bars is all I need at a fraction of the cost.

I was told the widest lenses available for the new bar is 90*. But I feel the new bars spread more than the original version I had with the same 90* lense.

I was told that i’m able to opt for the 120 deg lens. Am also leaning towards it due to the limited spread of my existing light , hydra52hd.

So now am seriously contemplating between 120 vs 90.

If your not looking for a lot of par gain I'd go 120. The blending will be a lot better. With that said I would also opt to have the green LEDs replaced with another blue.

yeah, thanks for the input, i have requested all 495 and 490 nm to be change to 440 nm.
