ALL lamps will come with LED moon lights installed, when the lamps go off the moon lights come on.

Dimming - To begin with 24w 39w and 54w will be made available in dimming, the dimming will be controlled by GHL ProfiLux, the ProfiLux simply plugs into the control module of the lamp fixture. 80w dimming will follow on possibly in February

The fixtures will be slightly wider than originally planned to incorporate the latest additions

Later next year there will be further advances in the dimming options

Availability - orders can be taken from late December for first wave shipping in late january, from then on there will be steady supply.

Thats it for now but i am sure you will agree this fixture is turning out to be hard to beat
I believe I answered this here

Just regarding the comparison to shop lights, the main difference would be economies of scale in supply manufacturing and distribution. If twenty million people were buying T5 pendants they would cost 75 bucks each. All in all the price is determined by supply and demand, I hope these units will come out in a price range that fits me, not expecting the manufacturer to give them away for free, but over $1000.00 for lights is Ferrari price range and I am a Honda person myself.

These are T5 fixtures not MH.

The reflectors are the next generation up from what ATI use, same reflector factory i am told.

The Reflectors have 6mm over hang so no light goes back to the tube optimising the light output downwards.

The reflectors are made from 98% reflective German extruded aluminum.

These are the highest output reflectors available.

Delivers 98% efficiency.

The Reflector has 29 different bends to give the optimum amount of performance.

This Increases output of T5 lamp over 300%.

The special forming of the reflectors brings the light deep into the tank with full Power

Every tube has its own reflector

Made specifically for high power T5's

What dealers in Alberta will carry the fixture?

Its worth a try against my powermodule, and if its better, good for me and my corals.

Never know might have my powermodule for sale.

Thanks

We are in talks with a few right now and will provide more info on dealers in the new year

We have been flooded with requests! But we will not detract from our standard policy of flooding the market with dealers, but make sure good coverage is always maintained.

if you personally have a dealer you want to carry the unit, please ask them to contact us, we will then see what we can do.

All new dealers will be store front though.
