Run it with or without an Idevice

With Idevice:

You have full control via an iphone/ipad/idevices with the WiFi application, this includes six channel independent dimming, timers and storm. Once you program it with Iphone, the program remains until you want to make changes, the app will run on your iphone/ipad/ipod time. The idevice app is the only one available for now, but an Android and a web portal will be available in the near future.

- There are one line settings for each color, you can adjust each color independently.
- You can set/program the storm setting anytime you like
- Dimmable Sunrise/Sundown! Example: 9AM-11AM you want 50% of light, and 11AM-5PM you set at 100%. The light will slowly go from 50% to 100% gradually and not just a jump from 50% to 100% all over sudden.



Without Idevice:

For those who do not use Idevices, the lights come with built in six channel manual dimming knobs. So the light is controllable without the app but you can not access the storm mode.

You can control each colour manually with the built in knobs, you can only adjust the colour intensity and use the preset timer. The preset timer will basically be a sunrise and sunset going through the cycle.

Par and LED count:

Sunbrite Lighting USA ran some par tests, they got Up to 200Par at the bottom of a 65Gal (36"x18x24") tank….with no optics! They come with Cree XPG 5W LEDS and 3W LEDS. For example, the 48” comes with 20 5W XPE, 44 3W XPE, 4 3W orsam red and 8 1W UV’s!

Please view our spec sheet for info on all our fixtures.

Is there any warranty with these units?
Is there a hanging kit?
Can you control them via Profilux or other controllers that have a 1-10v outlet?

Hello,

As with most electronic in the industry, there is a 1 year warranty.

Yes, a hanging kit is sold separately.

Sure, you can add them to a timer or control. The use of an I-device is to take full advantage of it's features.

thanks

Thank you,

But, You didn't really answer my third question.

Can you control them using the Profilux or other controllers that have a 1-10v outlet? (I'm not talking about Iphone or other mobile platforms) I am talking about aquarium controllers like the Profilux or apex.

I would have to ask SB but I would think the only reason to put them behind such a controller would be to turn them on and off via time settings? You would need to use the I-device to cotrol the extra features.


Give me a few hours and I will let you know for sure.


thanks

I would use the controller for the control of the lights. When I connect to my controller via the internet, I want to be able to dim/shut off the lights.

Looking forward to the response.

Thanks.

It works on iphone, will it work with itouch as well then? Seems probable.

Not sure I see the point of using an I-device. Most people don't use iphones to run their tank. LEDs should be controllable via a typical aquarium controller such as profilux or apex. I control my Apex remotely via my phone, which is enough.

seems pretty cool to me for those of us that don't have a controller.

But what are you going to do with it? Does the iphone program in lighting profiles? Or do you need to sit in front of your tank to initiate the "thundering" effects? What are "thundering" effects anyway?

To me, it sounds like this is a new manufacturer that built a light that doesn't do much other than thundering/lightning effects, apparently while you sit there with your iphone. What about matching it to sunrise profiles? Building in ramp up /ramp down sequences?
Maybe I'm just not getting it, but I don't see the point (yet).

Do they have advertised PAR profiles for the light? Does it come with a stock controller for those of us that don't have apple products? Lots of questions, not a lot of answers.

ey???

I'm midly offended at this mispelling.

I believe the correct Canadian spelling is Eh!

Hi Aquattro,

You have full control via an iphone/ipad/idevices WiFi application, this includes six channel independent dimming, timers and storm. You program it and the fixture will run that way until you change the program. The idevice app is the only one available for now, but an Android and a web portal will be available in the near future.

For those who do not use I-devices, the lights come with built in six channel manual dimming knobs. So the light is controllable without the app but you can not access the storm mode.

Sunbrite is not a new company. They have been building reef leds since 2008-2009. The first ones out I believe were the SunBrite T10 bulbs with integrated leds. these http://www.sunbritelighting.com/tube.html

Yupp, they ran some par tests, they got Up to 200Par on the bottom of a 65Gal (36"x18x24") tank. Lets put aside all the storms, lighting..and all that jazz and talk about what really matters. Light and how much of it. These things are getting 200 par at the bottom with no optics! They come with Cree XPG 5W LEDS and 3W LEDS. For example, the 48” comes with 20 5W XPE, 44 3W XPE, 4 3W orsam red and 8 1W UV’s. That is a LOT of light for $1000.

I will report back with controller compatibility as soon as I get a reply.

thanks,
Ray

PS. Here are a couple of videos

That adds some clarity!

Or if someone reaaaaally wants to show off the thunder effects and cant wait for android or web interface, just pick up a used iphone for $50 on craigs....just a thought :smile:

Ray

Still not clear on what thunder effects is :) Does it make loud booming noises?
Also, if you can find a PAR measurement that covers some spread, showing how it measures against the others here...

http://www.h2oplusomething.com/index...ment&Itemid=64

Man these really piqued my interest. Maybe it is time to try and sell my existing setup. What kind of shipping costs are we dealing with here. I am in Quebec City.

It just flashes of light to mimic a storm, makes for good conversation. Check out the videos I posted.


We do not have those number yet. Once I get them in I will do some par testing myself. With that being said you need to remember that something like the 48" has over 70 leds, so the spread is thought the length of the fixture. You're getting 200 par directly below across 48"'s. The questing is, how much par for and aft.


Free shipping on pre-orders.

thanks

I'm on the fence now!!! Was going to get 2 AI'S for my 75g, but now I think i'll wait till these come out, and see what how everybody likes them!
Ray, do these come with legs?

Yes they do and hang kit sold sep.

thanks!

Free shipping to Vancouver as well? Do we also get 5% off as canreef members?

I can't apply both, sorry.

To recap the I-APP / On board knobs and 3rd party controllers such as apex...etc.

The lights do NOT support 3rd party controllers at this time BUT you don't need to...here's why.


You can control each one manually with the built in knobs. With the knobs you can only adjust the color intensity and use the preset timer. The preset timer will basically be a sunrise and sunset going through the 8hours cycle.


If you have multiple fixtures and use the I-app, one I-device will control them all because they are all seeing the same IP address on your WIFI connection.


With the APP


- There are one line settings for each color, you can adjust each color independently.


- You can set/program the storm setting anytime you like.


- Sunrise/Sundown Example: 9AM-11AM you want 50% of light, and 11AM-5PM you set at 100%. The light will slowly go from 50% to 100% gradually and not just a jump from 50% to 100% all over sudden.

Once you program it with Iphone, the program remains until you want to make changes, the app will run on your iphone/ipad/ipod time.


Let me know if you have any more questions.


thanks
Ray

can you show pics of underside of light, and the knobs, ect...

I'll try to get some for you, in the mean time you can have a look at what SB USA has here (scroll past the specs) http://www.sunbritelighting.com/SBF-Series.html

thanks,

Is the wifi access password protected?

Hi,

You have to manually put in the ip address and subnet mask, etc..

People can connect to sunbrite wifi but they can't do anything without the app or info inserted to the wifi network, so it's protected.

Here is an image of the app

thanks

I am very interested in a 48inch fixture but i have a few questions and worries.

-The mounting legs look a bit flimsy and not adjustable. can you tell me more about them?

- How come the led's do no use optics?

- The fixture is not very wide, will it have enough spread to cover a 18 inch or wider tank

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your interest.

Dealers welcome! http://www.sunbritecanada.ca/


2 more days to put in your order or at the very lease reserve your fixtures for the first shipment. Get them first!


thanks,


Ray

How long until you would actually receive the lights?

Hi

We were expecting mid April at first, but we sold 4x the amount we thought we would, so that delayed it a little. We expect delivery somewhere between end of April to beginning of May. I know that’s a big window but I cant promise anything before May.

thanks,

Ray

last question. if there was a problem with one of the modules in a fixture could you purchase a replacement module, and would it be difficult to swap out? also, at what cost?

Pulled the trigger. Is it May yet?
Thanks Ray.

Very easy to swap out. I don't have the price for that yet but I could tell you that it will not be to pricey considering the price of the whole unit.

Sorry I could not give you more info.

Soon :-) thanks!

Hi everyone,


Our preorder deal has come to an end. We would like to thank everyone who participated, you have made a great long term investment that you will not regret! We will notify everyone as soon as we have news from SB USA.


For those interested in purchasing a fixture once they come in. You can either wait for us announce them on our site early May and send us an email.


best regards,


Ray
