Nice lights!!

[stephane]

I was not to respond to this anymore but since my name came back I will

First treated people of cavern man that dont know waht they talk about is not a good way to find customer this is a public board and compagny should not atack individual for a review of there product they dont apreciate! As buisnessman you should know not every body have to love and buy your product. If you want to sale your product show use it is beter than other product and tell use why but dont tell people they dont know what they talk about Im not at my first lighning setup over my ten years reefing and I have see a lot of those new technical up to date product doing noting more than well on paper

I have talk about lost in energy from the converter and I have not see anywere the wattage or amp draw from your fixture beter tell use data than talk about ignitor and the type of inverter you take I will repeat from my small knowlege A 250 watt bulb with is ballast draw average of 290watt if you plug that 290 watt over an inverter who lost 30% you will draw 377 wat for that 250 watt bulb :shock: Did Im rong?

other ting life span! you said they have long life span but I have never see any test or data from lost in PAR over time to proove this. manufacturer life span of bulb ar useless in our case as most MH 5-10k have life span from 5000 - 10000 but no one here use them that long cause life span dont meem lost of PAR so IMO if a compagnie claim there bulb last longer they should show us some data and dont wait for sanjay joshy to do it for free!

All europen people change there bulb 9-12 month no mater wath kind of buld they take and they have all german or europen DD bulb. I know it cause I read french europen board everyday day + doudle ended bulb are household use and mogul are industrial use cause double ended easy to break and hard to change even have see a lot of peolple complain in europe about the bulb been broken when they try to change. another ting Double ended and a mogul from the same compagny and k alway show the same PAR lumen from most manufacturer lamp catalogue + the mogul are alway more $ in europe than the double ended because they are a cheaper product and cost less


now for the look part

again I realy dont like to see an open top. you see all the hose fan,power head,salt creep,inside overflow,wave unit,wire...... The fixture look good but the tank setup look cheap and not finish like a well made canopy

other ting no way to add any actnic bulb and you are stuck with the power compact actinic in the midle you can't change the type of bulb or change the wattage so if you start with 150 and want to upgrade you have to buy another fixture :?

the bulb color look good but I prefer a way more my radium color over them the only draw back of the radium is that they are 400 watt so not realy power efficient but the color greatly worth it and they are cheap to buy + no need for actinic

The only advantage I see for those fixture are there powder coating and round edge that I have to admit are well built and good craftmanship, moonlight built in is very well also and electronic ballast whan available will be very good if they dont made the fixture to climb in price. yes they worth the money they are cause they are well tegnicaly design and not look like a chepo DIY stuff but I like more to have it over my diner room table than my tank

this is my personal taste and review of those fixture from my multiple
own setup over my 10 years reefing and it is my opinion after seen them in person but I have not done any technical test and the power consumption number I get are from waht I tink is ok but I could be rong
