I've been given an opportunity to implement a new LED light from Orphek: The OR 90, a model that appears to be a high quality strip light. I've been using higher quality LED strip lights over my 6 foot wide SPS reef since 2009 (which was then a flying leap of faith in the technology). There were some bruises and bumps along the way, but I have a thriving reef which I want to maintain and continue to develop. Hence, making such a change is a bit exciting yet nerve-wracking and not devoid of risk.
The OR90 is a 35" fixture that uses 24 three watt LEDs in each unit. The default lens is 120° but there is a 60 and 90 available.
I will be using a pair of units in each of the spectrums below. Also below is specifications on the unit; I Plan to perform PAR testing (before & after install), so more details to follow.
