That's right, the newest fixture is almost ready for release. It is made in the USA using the latest Cree LEDs, Including XP-G cool whites, XT-E royal blues, XP-E greens and reds, XML high noons, and bridgelux true violets, for a total of 48 LEDs! The price is already determined to be between $550 and $600 shipped, with apex and potentiometer dimming available. The fixture will measure around 12"x7.25"x1.5" tall, with a cooling fan in the middle and 2 banks of LEDs. Optics will also be avialable. It will be fully finished with an acrylic and aluminum casing. Here is a 3d model, the black on top is the fan, the yellow on the bottom is the LED banks.

What should we call them? These fixtures will be way more powerful than any similarily sized units, and will have 4 different control channels,
• The cool whites
• The royal blues
• The colored LEDs (red green uv)
• The high noons
The fixtures will come with 80 degree optics, at a price of $599 shipped.

I will incorporate them, thanks for the heads up! It has not been built yet, and the LEDs will be updated to the best of the best when new crees come out also!

Reef Breeders X-Stream LED? Reef Breeders Power Pack? Reef Breeders Lightning Streak? You going to give one away to the winning name ;) (purely for testing purposes... lol)
lol, keep the names coming, we were thinking megasun, but that was taken. How about the Reef Breeders "Ultra-Glo" LED Fixture? We will think up some more names.

Whoops.... Ya Sol (AI) will get you in trouble for sure, and Apollo must have been used by someone. (Not sure who).

We will create a poll soon of a few options, how about the "Supernus" or the "Maximas", the Latin words seem very appealing.

I'm looking forward to seeing this. I was thinking supernova before I read it, but now that's taken, I'll have to go with quasar or lux astri.
