"Not trying to start an argument"
Thanks for clarifying. It does have that feel.

"but to me it certainly seemed as though you were trying to sway another buyer off his choice when clearly your experience would not apply." I am not at all concerned whether Orphek gets sales or loses sales. If my information is not applicable, it will not sway a buyer. The pages I referred him to have posts from light bar owners discussing lights that blended well for them and lights that did not. Lots of information about light spacing and color blending. My experience with the light bar and posts after it are where the majority of discussions about light spacing and lens choice are found. Those pages also give a person information that can help form realistic expectations of the light as well as the manufacturer.

"And mate you chose to buy the product with those lenses and colours nobody made you" I am not sure what your point here is. It just feels like blame, mixed with a little demeaning. I was told by Orphek experts that the specific combination was what was needed to meet my strict requirements for color and PAR.

"it is obvious that they would not mix" Tell the experts at Orphek. I tend to agree. I have some LED experience and I feel like I should have known better. I am a still a little embarrassed and defensive about it. Orphek posted that the lights look great but that didn't help much.

"I don’t think that you should have been told they would mix though so I’m with you on that one." I appreciate your support. Sucks to be lied to. I guess that since the lie prompted a money transaction then technically I was cheated. I am disappointed with Orphek and a little ashamed about being gullible.

"As for par, no product can possibly produce similar par near the edges of the light as it can closer to the centre so not sure why that’s an issue." You may be right. This BRS video posted on Orphek.com at minute 4:47 shows a light doing it within 14%. At the time of my purchase it was pretty convincing information. However, the video begins with a disclaimer that should not be overlooked.

Continuing with "so not sure why that’s an issue." It is only an issue because the company's promise of even PAR spread was a purchase point for me.

"As for my association with Orphek there is literally none other than being a future customer." Moving forward, please respectfully allow me to voice my purchase and ownership experience. In turn, if the time comes that you chose to make a purchase from the Orphek company and wish to share that experience, I will be respectful toward your voice.

It helps everyone, even the vendor, when we have a better idea of what to expect.

Fair call mate, I feel like we have hi jacked this thread a bit so should probably move on.

I just can’t wait for the or150 since my wife has purchased our tank two years earlier than planned lol

Hi Orphek , so to keep a 100% SPS reef in my Reefer 250 I would only need 1 x reef day and 1 x reef blue plus ? I’m guessing it would be the OR90’s I would need ? I thought I would need at least 4 possibly 5 !?

Many thanks

Lee

Hi lee your aquarium is just 53cm Wide you don’t want much light on the glass so let say 5cm from each side this give us just 43cm to cover so 20cm for each bar is ok .

Please check this full sps aquarium
Just 2 lines of bar

Thanks Orphek, the reefer 250 is 500mm wide and 530mm tall. Would just 2 bars achieve the magic 350 PAR in all areas of my scape here’s a picture of it currently. Also how high off the water would they need to be to achieve the magic 350PAR all over the tank ?

Hi Orphek, I really like the look of the OR90 LED Bar and if I only need 2 or 3 of these to have a successful SPS tank then. I currently have an Aquatic life T5HO running 3 ATI blue + and 1 ATI purple+ how many OR90’s and which ones would you recommend for this setup ?

Lee

 

[Leicesterblade]

Anyone fitted the OR Bars in the center of the Aqutic life T5HO hybrid fixture ?? Any pictures please ?

Many thanks

Lee

 

[Orphek]

Got my two Orphek light bars. Two 35” Sky Blue end to end and I had them put four white diodes in each. I put them all the way to the front of my tank and angled them back a little.

The color pop is great and they really helped to fill in any shadows. I’ll take some with/without photos tomorrow after I clean my filthy tank.
