Power for SPS with XM LED

[Aqua-Digital]

Pacific Sun LED has announced thi Metis XM LED light which will use The new XM Cree LED's for the white LEDs these are brighter and more efficient than anything marketed before, this is a full on SPS LED system!!!!

From reefbuilders -
If you thought Cree’s XP LEDs were bright, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Forget about the standard three watts that most XP LEDs are run at, and Cree XP LEDs running at five watts each still don’t come close. The Cree XM LEDs riding the PCB of the Pacific Sun XM LED can run up to 10 watts, each! Not only can the XM LEDs run this much power, they do so with an efficiency of 100 lumens per watt. When the Cree XM LED are run at two watts, they deliver about as much light as Cree XP LEDs at three watts. It is almost comical how much more gnarly these new Cree XM LEDs are, at least on paper.

The Metis XM LED light will come in the same sizes as the Metis CRP, but with each light having 50% more power! Only the white LED are being upgraded to Cree XM, with the blue and royal LEDs remaining of the XP variety. As with the Metis CRP, the Metis XM will be controllable to the fullest, with custom colors, sunset, sunrise, timer functions, lightning, passing clouds and individually addressable LED panels.
