Light bar is brand new, less than a week old. Bought straight from Orphek.
$150 new, selling for $125.

I’m going from a 24” tank to a 48” tank. Going to get bigger ones.

I like the color of this combo more because it gives more of a purple shade to tank. Under par meter it added 40-50 par throughout tank.

The Orpheks are fantastic lights my only minor complaint is I wish they had a WiFi controller for dimming, I did hear that Orphek was planning one for this quarter of 2020 but who knows with Covid. I use a separate smart plug to manage the on/off times. If you can fit them over your tank this is a good deal.

I’ll post a pick later... if that will help with your decision @maroma

Dimming has been the #1 request by many

I’m not familiar with Orphek. Are you saying this light is just straight up “on and off” no timer nor dimming on this light. Is this enough to cover 24” x 24”? I’m currently running it with AP700 with mainly sps. Thinking of adding one like this for more coverage throughout every spot in that 24” cube. Thoughts?

Straight up on/off but you can place on apex or household timer to choose time on and off

Question: I'm thinking on adding this to a ATI regular not dimmable T5 fixture is this to much power with T5 and this Led at 100%? If I plan running for 10hrs

If it’s just a T5 fixture you have, then no it won’t be too much.

Straight up on and off not dimmable option currently. I have it connected to a smart plug surge protector. I haven't had any issues with it though and love the lights. Corals look amazing under them though. I run the 120 Blue light and the 90 Daylight for the SPS side of the tank.

Hey I just purchased 2 or3 bars a purple/uv and blue about a month ago. I spoke to the orphek guy and he said they’re working on one but due to the pandemic it won’t be available probably until next year. He said it shouldn’t cost all that much either for what it’s worth. I personally can’t wait for that time to come cuz it will be a game changer in my personal opinion

Thanks @Milkman420! It will be a game changer... now if they could also figure out how to make the power inverter smaller that would be awesome ;)
