So the light will be over the tank next week.
:dribble: :dribble: :dribble:I am picking up the end panels to the big tank on Thursday and hope to con the guys into assembling it this weekend.
I'm amazed and pleased at how quickly AI jumped on the LIFI emitters. Besides PAR readings around the tank and various 'dim' levels opf the device it would be helpful to get some temp readings of the air between the fixture and water surface. Also, I'm no expert on lighting by any stretch but from what I've read about the LIFI emitters they seem best suited to applications where the light source is far above the area to be lighted. Given that we typically have lights 6-8" above the water how will this device provide adequate spread? Perhaps we should try orienting the emitter so that it fires up into a reflector (a multi faceted one like a LuminArc or the like) to produce a more diffused light? Just a thought.
I've been doing some research on these emitters. As I understand it, the cost for a single emitter/driver is $450. You also need to add a 28v DC power supply to power the driver as well as a suitable reflector. Seems like it could be fairly pricey other than the fact that bulb replacement is all but elminated.
