My OR3 order also shipped today from Hong Kong, est delivery Dec 9thCarlos, how many days did you get your lights from the moment they give you a tracking number? Are they shipping from stateside?

Oct 10th. There was a shortage on some board they needed (was explained this back in Nov 5th) therefore they were delayed shipping 2 weeks later than expected.when did you order? I ordered 11/1 and still waiting.
thanks, this kind of level sets my expectation. They (Orphek James) have been really up front with me throughout this purchase, was really wondering how far behind they were getting boards.Oct 10th.

My guess is with Black Friday they also had a surge in orders. Appx wait time was 8 weeks for me.
Very comprehensive but those stats mean very little to me. A conclusion with a comparison or 2 would make me feel a lot better about my purchase.Not being able to understand the report from Dana, was it good?

That's fair, as someone getting back into reefer after many years away and purchasing 2 icons with 2 or3 bars. I'm looking to sleep a little better at night knowing I made a good purchase versus buying a couple xr30's...Dana will chime in I am sure, but I think he really just wants to report as neutrality as possible and not have head to head or say what light is better in his opinion so he can remain unbiased although perhaps he will give a few remarks on the spectrum overall vs others. I know he likes the far red which is normally missing.

Isn’t it a commissioned review seeing that it was first featured on Orpheks site? I apologise if I’ve missed somethingDana will chime in I am sure, but I think he really just wants to report as neutrality as possible and not have head to head or say what light is better in his opinion so he can remain unbiased although perhaps he will give a few remarks on the spectrum overall vs others.

I felt same way. Lucky for me, my tank and sump took 1 year on order, I was able to analyze all my options with a clear mind. For a long time I was set on the stratons and ecotechs line too... but I kept seeing amazing tanks running orphek. I had to do a lot of reading and digging since it's not a BIG BOX name as other lights. However, only negative thing I would read was the wifi box the previous generations ran... but I liked the upgrading possibility without having to purchase a whole new light(something no one does)...That's fair, as someone getting back into reefer after many years away and purchasing 2 icons with 2 or3 bars.

Check BRS video on Orphek Atlantik 4, it has a comparison with actinic T5 tubes on the spectrum. That will give you an idea of the iCon spectrum in relation to existing others.Very comprehensive but those stats mean very little to me.

You can even just look at led counts and spectrum list too. Orphek has, as far as I know, the widest number of leds of different spectrums and has for quite a while. If broad spectrum is desired I don’t think there is another major manufacturer out there with so many.Thanks will take a look
And I think this is what Dana is trying to get at with his review.You can even just look at led counts and spectrum list too.
