Your light bars seem wonderful. But will saltwater aquarium ever stock the 24" blue bar again?
Yes at the production we had 1.5month off .

The OR150's look like they have been selling for about a month over in the UK. When I first saw them they were going out of stock real quick. Looks like they may have gotten a second shipment because the UK shops have them in stock now.

Update on my Atlantik V4.
I placed one Atlantik V4 on my display for testing purposes to see if there was a color difference in corals under the Atlantik V4 and how it operated. I have had the light in place for about 6 months I believe beside 4 of my mitras. I can vouch to say that the Orphek light enhanced the color of allot of the corals underneath it and the pop and flourscents is amazing..especially on fish. Huge difference. There is allot of blue/purple produced by the fixture.

That being said in the last couple months I noticed that the corals didn't pop as much under the Atlantik V4 and I just thought I was getting used to the light. Well that was not the case as I found out later. I have been waiting for months and months on end for the OR150's to complete my build and convert my display over to all Orphek lighting....but after allot of empty promises of "two weeks" its been months and months.

So I decided to start my all Orphek build and put t5 suppliments on the sides instead of waiting another 5 months on the OR150's. I completed my main line up with2 Atlantik V4s and 1 compact V4. This is when I noticed when programming the lights that the 6month old Atlantik V4 had led's not working in the 3rd and 4th Quad. This light is not that old and already burned out led's.

This is very discouraging. I have worked with support and they are on top of it. But this is going to be a pain in the $&& to get this heavy fixture unhung and fixed and now I'm worried that the other 2 I have may be seeing the same issue in short time. I think I'm now going to have to start doing a light test say every 6 weeks to see if the Led's are still firing. This is a hard price to pay to get some extra pop, but I will see how it goes.

I have the main strip hung up now of course because there was no turning back since I had already removed other lighting and prepped ceiling for new lights etc. The tank looks amazing except on each side where i dont have lights in front and back of aquarium. (Missing the or150's or t5's at this point). The 3 lights have very little spread, and with about 9inches off the tank are perfect to not spread light in the room. This is the first time I do not have light spilling over in the room. This is refreshing and really makes the tank stand out. I'm hoping I get more dependability out the lights going forward but we shall see.

When I saw that the UK has the lights. I"m debating on just ordering from them now and call it a day. No more waiting and can try out my original thoughts for all Atlantik build.

No he probably didn't. See below. They have them in stock. I also have been waiting for the OR2-150 for months and months for US release. I thought I saw it once on a web alert I have set but it was only prep by the website. I saw it in UK but wanted to wait for the US model and the DIMMERS.


ORPHEK seriously your Atlantic V4Gen2 was lightyears ahead of the other companies. Yall are loosing ground in the USA. Ramp up your advertisment.
Ps I Love my qty:4 V4Gen2

They are not dimmable. The external driver might possibly be swapped with an aftermarket dimmable driver, but they come from Orphek with a constant current driver.
Really? I was told that there was going to be a dimmer released in a month.

When it come to development, we can predicted the end time . What we develop is not just a simple dim system it is a very advanced Bluetooth system so it can control 50 units from one cellphone without extra router . The app all built from scratch. One of thing that delay the proses is to apply moon cycle . As we need to cut the power by 1000 . 0-1000% ! Not just from 0-100%
So it will provide low power moon light .

For the OR150 it took long time to find a stable power supply.

And the we moved to dual chip 5w . So it dealy all .
Beside every product we write patent so we can not sale before .

For the OR2 120/90/60 we got the patent :) !

So we doing the best to provide the best product and it take times .

This clarifies a lot of the delay. Keep consumers in the loop with type of communication. Helps everyone understand development issues and reduce insults and assumptions and retain consumer confidence

Some how I not revived email about new comments :) . We still working in the 150cm we did not found the correct power supply so we decided to change the Pcb design insted . Hope soon it be ready . The azurelit is blue / cyan
Ok. Was just looking back at the power supply decission in January 2019. I should have done this before I decided to go this route. Had no idea that chatter for OR150 went back to 2018 in this thread.
