I’m getting around 400-450 mmol at about 18” for two units over 2’ x 3’ area. All channels were running at 100%, which is still quite blue for me. Quite a big step up from the V2. Colour blending is better than G4 radions and full intensity is more blue. I was loving this light until all mine melted
18” where? Above water? Under water?
Thank you, the settings show a much higher settings of the white spectrum.There is no doubt the V2 will grow sps but you do gain quite a bit with the new V3 having more functionality as far as spectrum goes. Here is the diode layout for the V3
This is a sample of a schedule that we are running on a test tank at the moment and it will give you a better understanding of what each channel can do with the new diode mix
Also the new v3 controller will control both the new and the older V2.
Let me know if you need anymore information

Thanks, I appreciate that!
Sorry to bring up an old thread but I just wanted to see if there was any resolution to the housings of your lights melting. I'm on the fence about switching to noopsyche lights and its concerning that yours got hot enough to melt the case. Im also curious if noopsyche has any customer support at all.
NoopsycheUSA has full support including phone support here in the USA. We are the distributor of lights in the USA and sell them to stores across the country.
So if I buy the light directly from China I will save on the cost, but in exchange I will get what I'd imagine is probably questionable warranty and tech support?
If you buy the lights from China you will get support except for (aquariumlowcost) just not phone support.

In your opinion are 3 lights sufficient for a traditional 6' 125g tank that is predominantly SPS? I know more would be better but my tank is the traditional rimmed tank with two center braces on top. So one light over each 2 foot section would be my ideal setup if they're powerful enough. On the Chinese Noopsyche site it recommends 4 but with my tank 4 is hard to do without having a lot of the light blocked by the braces. I just looked on the US Noopsyche site and there is no reccomendation that I see.If you buy the lights from China you will get support except for (aquariumlowcost) just not phone support.
These lights are good and way better than Viperspectra in terms of control and spectrum.
This is my build thread for my tank and I have a full tank shot going up today.
Build Thread - A ocean inside 750xxl(v3)
My family got together and decided to get me something very special to keep me going as I had pretty much give up. I was presented with a Christmas card with a picture of a aquarium on it and it said "A new aquarium can always bring some joy and fun in troubled times". Opening the the fold out...
The new V3 light would be plenty over each section but rent or borrow a par meter when time for coral.
I really appreciate you answering my questions. I bought a used par meter for my apex a week or two ago so that I have some idea of what my lights are doing.
No problem and glad I could help
then why in the contest thread ,would noopsyche recommend 5 K7 v3's over a 6' 125 gallon.??
Not sure but as on a standard 125 3 is plenty.then why in the contest thread ,would noopsyche recommend 5 K7 v3's over a 6' 125 gallon.??
it's there...
The Chinese website shows 4-5 for that size tank, but it looks like they just used the same list from the pro ii, which obviously isn't a fair comparison since the new one is over 40% higher wattage. Which is exactly why I asked @Manosethen why in the contest thread ,would noopsyche recommend 5 K7 v3's over a 6' 125 gallon.??
it's there...
So using the 40% off deal through the global site doesn't carry the same US warranty? Was looking to possibly purchase two for my 120 but don't want to have to deal with any warranty issues should they pop up.
