Star Fire first real pictures
 

Well here you go these are the first pictures of the Star Fire

The model shown here is the prototype but gives a great indication of what to expect.

Full production is now in place and orders are now being taken.

The first picture is belly up showing the large array of reflectors.

In the second shot you can see more clearly the high grade reflectors that wrap the tube sides completely eliminating any side light loss, this is now where you start to see the quality and workmenship

Next shows one of the LED shimmer lights to replicate MH water refraction shimmer. The moon lights will be in this center position also

This model which is the 39w 6 tube version will be on display at Progressive reef in the next week ;)

So any luck getting a Calgary, Alberta dealer for any of your goods yet? Last time you mentioned that you guys would work on it in mid January.

We have Edmonton now covered ;)

Drop us an email at sales@aqua-digital.com for up to date dealer info

What dealer did you get in Edmonton? If I'm up there I'll have to drop by, but Calgary is 3 hours away, so a Calgary Dealer would be appreciated.

as I said drop me an email.

we cant promote non sponsors

After hanging my Stealth I can definitely say that having a single cord exiting the fixture is an awesome feature. Looks good! Do you have any on-angle shots...to show some perspective?

My photographic skills are somewhat lacking but once the unit is in the hands of progressive Reef and above a tank more photos will follow.

These were taken in 5 mins after the lamp landed in our office

Looks very nice. And it looks like a lot of attention went into the design.

Thanks

And this is just the working model prototype, the ONLY one in the world as of today :)

Production is now in full flow though as of 15th Jan right on schedule.

Looks nice. I'd be interested to find what the price point will be.

For pricing talk to the dealers Progressive reef and ocean aquatics have the prices at present

Does the fixture come with bulbs and or can you choose which bulbs it comes with?
Thanks
RC

Are they dimable?

becuase everyones choice of bulbs are different it was decided to distribute without so people could choose

Yes dimmable is available for connection to the GHL ProfiLux only

The design is defenately better then my Tek5, good job.

Interesting to see what price would be for this unit in 36 and 48 inch.
None of the web sites you mention had these fixtures on them.

Can you elaborate or provide a link?
thx

email or call either progressive reef or ocean aquatics for latest pricing

Light one of these babies up over a reef tank let see what it can do. :razz:
RC

Not sure of their markup? :)

Still no pricing....

My guess is considerably more than a tek fixture... but I guess they could surprise...may want to contact someone in Sask for being a distriibutor as well

Yes more than a tec due to the high spec.

Call progressive reef for pricing.

We had the first skid order for the States this week, so the market is hot for them, seems there is a hot market for a very high end high spec T5 fixture in the USA especially.

I am not putting pricing here as last time it started some crazy debate trying to compare against other lamps with less spec in design and componentry.

:wink:

Looks nice but what does this unit offer over or above the Sfiligoi Stealth? As this brand's quality is almost unchallegened...? Does your unit offer anything this one does not? Etc..

Hi Pan

The star fire uses different reflector material , cableworks and
also High end ballasts which increases the light output much stronger
We had automatically moonlight and a massive body which is make
of aluminium.
The fan speed is also manual controlable and the Dimmable Versions works with
a new cut off technolgy which protect your tubes and gives a better shelf live

i think the only way to sell high quality lighting is to prove thier quality with proof like par numbers with a certain bulb then thier is facts to prove or disprove claims, not just for these fixtures but any manufacturer making a quality product, shurly designing a new lighting line someone bothered to test them

Well what ever anyone thinks about the price clearly fauna have hit the ground running with this one, looks like the market has been waiting for a high end fixture such as this as the manufacture time is back by 6 weeks at present, first crate load hits the USA about mid march :)

HI

Hmm you realle thing PAR is all ?
then you need to see what PAR is exactly.
it depends on which place you make the measurement
wich bulbs you use ... and a lot of more.

What for an advantage you have if somebody make an test
see of 2 points higher PAR and the lamp is so worse quality that you
need to buy a new one in 1 year cause the fans are to load or the ballast are in a to bad quality

Believe me PAR is not all if you build a lamp like we do you will see
the light output is perfect as possible.

I will send a lamp to Sanjay that he can say something about it
Test from people which i don´t know and which write for their friends or for
our competitiors will surly not be honest enough to make a reliable test.

well im just tryin to say if you did some test's with whatever bulbs you decided to use(dosnt really mater) and the same test with maybe a tek fixture or an ati maybe if your fixture is actually putting out better numbers and has extra features that others dont then all it can do is help sales,
you might have had one more but without any proof that your light is gonna be better for me i chose to go with something else even though it was more expencive because its a proven performer

Can you share some dimensions on these fixture?

I also second the comments from i_have_crabs. I would be more willing to put down the funds if there were some stats, and/or comparisons on your fixture.

With the large numbers being sold right now I do not think you will have to wait too long to get these answers :)

Michika - About time we introduced you to Ultra Clam isnt it :wink:

Email me if you want to give it a go and report back
