Got three of these installed over my 260 g tank with hanging wire kits and here are my first impressions after short two day of testing. I'm not dealing with the tank side installation arm, since I'm not using it.
Pros:
I can post some pictures after it gets dark outside, so you can see something else than my window reflection from the front glass
Pros:
- The color spectrum and color adjustability are very satisfying. With the six combinations of different color blending you can really get the spectrum to your personal preference
- The shimmer effect is very nice for LED - light. It's not as good and natural as with those good old HQI - fixtures, but definitely better than with traditional LED - fixtures containing dozens of lens-equipped LED's
- The color blending is really working. It's not blending the colors 100 % as you can see some multicolor "disco effect" on the sand area on far edge of the spotlight, but it's still very good
- When they are running on reasonable settings (<70 %) on room temperature, the fans are off and the fixtures are dead silent
- Overall building quality is as impressing as stated in previous reviews
- The fans are rather noisy when running the fixtures at high power. The fans seem to have only two settings: on and off, and they are not adjusting the speed to match the heat load of the fixtures
- The fixtures or the ICV6 controller do not come with detailed instructions to set up the WIFI - connections or to use the app. The app itself is giving you some hints of using it, but doesn't come with any detailed manual. For installation I had to refer to videos made by Coralvue on YouTube
- The Android app is pretty clumsy to use since it's apparently in the early phase of development. There are some bugs, for example when you want to adjust the Photo-Period settings, you cannot overwrite the previous setting unless it's already selected. If you select the old setting to save the new one, it's discarding the new setting and applying the old one. It's also draining the battery of the phone/tablet like thirsty giraffe if you don't remember to shut it down after making the adjustments
