Running more than 4 Lightbar2's?

[petestewardson]

If I wanted to run 5 or 6 Lightbar 2's over a tank, off a Profilux 4, How would I go about doing it?

@Marco@GHLUSA and @Vinny@GHLUSA will need to confirm

But I believe you would need

2 power supplies based on the lights your purchasing (based on total wattage of the lights plugging in)
2 Mitras-LB-Splitter
1 Mitras-LB-Active-Splitter 2
2 Mitras-LB-RJ45 cables

Oh and then your light bars :)

3 light bars would go into one lb-splitter with a power supply rated for the 3 lights
2 light bars would go into the second lb-splitter with a power supply rated for the 2 lights.

The two LB-splinters would then go into the LB-Active Splitter 2. What I do not know the connection is from the LB-Active Splitter 2 to the P4. I am thinking a PAB.

Hi Pete,

@Ditto has the right idea. :)

In order to connect more than 4 LB2, you would need the Mitras-LB-ActiveSplitter 2 which can be found here:
https://www.aquariumcomputer.com/usa/product/mitras-lb-active-splitter-2/

This accessory already comes with the neccessary cable to connect the ActiveSplitter to the P4 and 2x cables for connecting to the 2x LB-splitters you would need.

As long as you have the correctly sized PSU for each splitter, you will be good to go!

Excellent thank you. I'm just going to get one to start with and if I like them try some more.
