Illumilux

Looks pretty sweet.

I'm thinking one of these over a DIY I was considering for my aquapod 12...

Anyone heard of or maybe even seen these yet?

Wonder what sort of front-to-back coverage these things provide. I like the small size and how they can connect end-to-end.

I've seen them

What did you need to know?

@ Brett

Each strip will cover a 4-6" space. Think of them as you would ~1.75 HOT5 strips.

how about your take on par/intensity and color?

Where did you get to see them?

thanks for the reply.

PAR readings should be coming from Vertex by Mid-Feb. Colors will be in four flavors:

White-Royal Blue 50/50
Blue-Royal Blue 50/50
White-White
White-Red 50/50

Color data can be found here:

LED's are driven at 2.5 W each (XP-E).

Where did you get to see them?

I'm the distributor (Proline), I get to see all these things in their beta forms

thanks for the reply.

Anytime, let me know if you need any further information.

Im guessin youd need 2 or 3 even for an ap12 to get decent front to back coverage.
