My new LEDs

[bigB]

I just got my new Reefbrite XHO setup, and I figured I would take some shots just to show it off :)
This is them.

This shows off the spread.

And this shows off the 1" high profile.

I'm hoping to get my paws on a PAR meter, and then I'll take some more shots of them in action.

Looks cool where did you pick it up at??

It is six reefbrite strips attached together....

It's only 5 Reefbrite strips attached together, but it is the new XHO strips - not the older Tech strips. The XHOs have 36 LEDs, instead of 24. I got it from my buddy Paul at villagefrags.com

Oh so you made the fixture??? That's nice man... I thought it was a actual reefbrite fixture

Cool looking fixture.. Does it dim??

 

[bigB]

No, it does not dim. I have heard that Reefbrite is developing dimmable replacement drivers, but mine have 5 strips which you can turn on and off, one-by-one, to make it somewhat "dimmable".

Nice. That should work great.

Geez there still working on the dimmable drivers? They told me this a year ago from reefbrite directly and still nothing! They need to pony up!

i asked him on our local forum what its going on and have yet to get a responce. but i know he has two 30 gall 48" long tanks and a 120 6ft tank. i think he has LED's already on one frag tank so im guessing either the other frag tank or his 120

oh ya they go on my 33g 4 footer.superbight for the sps

 

[_Alex_]

there he is! :wink:

Wow, don't think it would be too bright?

 

[bigB]

i dont think so. reefbrites dont have optics. besides i can raise them.

With 5 strips on a 33L who needs optics, lol.

I had 3 strips *Tech* first model on my 33L frag tank all grew well including SPS. I had the White, 50/50, and Blue Combo.

I finally got my paws on a PAR meter, so I figured I'd take some measurements of what PAR my new lights are putting out over my frag tank. My frag tank is 12" deep, but I couldn't exactly get the sensor down on the bottom. So I took the PAR measurements at 0", 6" and 10" (0" being right under the water level). My lights have 72 white LEDs and 108 blue LEDs. The LEDs are 3-watters, but they are pushing 1-1/2 watts apiece. The reason for the lower wattage is to control the temperature so it doesn't overheat and the lights will last the full 50,000 hours.
