[Dana Riddle]

I received the new Orphek Atlantik iCon light the other day and will report in a few weeks. I apologize for the poor photo - very busy today.

You're not claiming to have a life outside of reefing are you!

Looks nice

Price aside I think this is near the top of my list along with Sky. I love the clean look and the 15-17” mounting height.

Keeps me out of the bars at night. Or is that, keeps me in the bars at night?

How long is the wait supposed to be?

So are the LEDs themselves are different from the Atlantik V4? I know they sell a $180 upgrade from v4 to the ICon

I'll have to get into the lab and do some analyses. I'm hoping I can do that late next week.

Their advert kind of hints that it is - but doesnt seem to focus on it which is surprising. Generally speaking their marketing/advertising is pretty poor so I suppose its not much of a shock if they have a key new selling feature which they arent promoting that much.

I was told a few weeks now. They should be getting shipment end of month

A fellow local reefer recommended, so I took a look at them. Initially I was leaning towards to sky, however there are just to many comments on the product being "cheaply made" . I like the idea that the Orphek lights can be upgraded rather than replaced if need be. Not really something I have heard of with other lights. Looking forward to the review...

I'm looking at the iCon ad here on R2R. Glad to see 730nm LEDs in it.

Hi Dana, what’s the importance of the 730 ?

Hi Dana, what’s the importance of the 730 ?

It's absorbed by Pigment 700 found in Photosystem 1, which enables it to absorb energy from PS 2. Perhaps prevents stress on PS 2 and delay bleaching of zoox.

Thanks Dana!
