Bought these for a tank I was gonna upgrade to. I have decided to stay with what I have. They are new, I only took them out of the box and unwrapped them too look at thease beauties, then I couldn't help but to plug them in..
I'm asking 670 Per light
And 55 for gateway
Possible trade for Radions with mounts and reeflink.
Feel free to shoot me a message with any questions you may have.
Have a blessed day

Honestly never seen an Atlantik (any generation) with burnt out UVs. Even the old school power reefs are still being used and growing corals like crazy without any issues.
Orphek seems to consistently put out some really well built lights.

I can attest that Gen1 V4 Compacts used sub-par LEDs and they absolutely do burn out. Gen2s have better LED diodes... time will tell if they are more durable...

Attached pic shows diodes/lens i pulled off of my 2017 Compact V4 Gen1. Orphek sent me replacement Gen2 diodes for free... but I ended up going with purchasing whole a new Gen2 PCBoard. Most ones that burnt out are 440nm and 460nm.. There might have been some UV diodes that burnt out maybe a year go as well.

Curious though, if you only bought them a week ago, why not return and get your $ back..?

10% restocking fee and shipping on my end will be about 100$ per light.. so if I got to loose money I just soon to give a deal to a fellow reefer than to send back and they get resold at full retail
