It is actually going to illuminate a 505g display measuring 66"x42"x42" and with the twin lamp design, we are able to run a 10 or 14k together with a 20k in each reflector. This will allow to run the 20k's first while early morning and late evening dimming period with the ACLS units. The 10/14K's will then operate more towards the midday period allowing for some real crazy transitional colouration during dimming operation of the ACLS units.

Believe it or not, this customer has asked if we can provide a two fixture solution to an 8ft x 10ft tank for another one of his customers! Insane....

Yes 42" wide would require the twin lamps. A lot nicer than going with multiple fixtures on a tank that wide. Putting different spectrum lamps in each reflector is a cool idea. Like you say, that will make for interesting lighting options. I hope we get to see some pics of it on the tank.

wow, with that thing I would need a label on my house that read, "WARNING: Solar Radiation Inside". Although, that might attract people looking for a quick and easy tan.. speaking of which, does the fixture come with sun tan lotion?

Cool looking products. I was wondering about the mini LED bulbs if they can be used in a mini halogen fixture .The halogen bulbs look like they have the same contacts.And if they are the same, would you need something to step down the voltage or watts ?

Holy snapping tulips, I love my Stealth but you could twist my arm on this one. Would be interesting in the future to see this in a plasma version.

Great one Ron

The name "Exaggerate" totally fits that fixture
