I think i have my hands full enough ;)

off to bed, 12pm and heavily pregnant wife is wandering why husband is sitting on forums :(

A-D thanks for all the great info, its gotta be hard trying not to be a salesman so much as trying to bring something to the market that in your opinoin has everything and more and may help hobbyists. You put way to much effort in to some things, if people cant see the simple math in shipping, and currency rates etc. forget about it, no sense in beating a dead horse!"Andrew, PLEASE go buy an ATI PLEASE! Clearly our great new fixture is giving you a lot of stress, and I am spending way too much time trying reason with you. the price is what it will be and thats that, if you dont like it then as i say go buy tomorrow what you feel is best for you"!------ I my self have a Aquaticnics solar flare that i love, run by ice cap ballasts and has ice cap reflectors, but i think i paid around $1000-$1300 for a six lamp unit (with bulbs). I am very interested in your units however. Will the lamps be overriden by the ballasts to burn at a higher wattage? How many moonlights in a 4 foot unit? How about some pics! Sorry -now I'm "that guy". Take your time man, get stuff right before it gets to the market. I read this whole thread and commend your effort. Good luck

Link removed as this is an aqua digital forum - sorry
No Worries....I meant the hmm part of my question to be a "if i can get something like this cheaper and the same basic looks, and good quality then woohoo" I had one of those lights before, got it used. Anyways I like the lights your coming out with :)

Also will you need the profilux to be abble to dim them? how will they be controlled individually?

You can see one of those Aquaperfekt units at Aquatic Addictions. Nice fixtures but for +$3K..... out of my price range.

Cheers,
Vic

HI

Sorry guys but this will be a complete different lamp
new developed with different technology other ballasts other reflectors
active coolings and many other technical stuff into.

I know that some people try to say that this was the same lamp but here is only the design slighly similar not more

Hi

Thanks so much for the extremely supportive posts. Yes I think you are right (my wife thinks so) I spend too much time beating Dead horses trying to quell peoples negative feelings.

From now on i will only post on this thread facts and only answer questions in relation to the light itself.

As for the AQP fixture - Sorry as Claude states there is nothing even remote the same about this fixture and the fauna unit, why would we bring out a unit that is already being marketed by a competitor, that would just be commercial suicide. And the price :surprise:

I appreciate everyones interest, and what is highly important from all this, is for both myself and Claude to get this 100% right and that does not mean rushing the project for a very few peoples demands that will not be met.

OK Phew - so Back to the light, in regards to over driving, no this light will not, this in testing has little effect other than faster lamp burn out. I know people will have their own view on this, so to stave a debate i guess the best i can say is, the lamp will be what it is ;)

Oh the other question about moon light

Well we have sort of gone away from this due to consumer demand more requiring to have a T5 lamp that will produce true wave shimmer, like MH lamps. To put both in would be too expensive for the "standard fixture"

However as we have said from the start, this fixture will have two options "standard" and "Custom" So if someone wanted either or both effects this would not be an issue.

We can pretty much supply anything you may want

cool, I cant think of anyone else offering that much customisation. I think i read somewhere that lamps will be controlled in pairs. Are you saying essentially on a 4 foot 10 lamp fixture there will be 5 diffrent "options" as far a lights coming on and off, or am i reading that wrong? thanks. Ian
