Just as I thought the weights were for the entire units and not just for the fixtures. Here is a break down of the units and controllers. My light weight scale was not working and the other weights were sent from the factory, sorry for the confusion.

Weight of the fixtures:

60w: 2.5kg (controller 1.5kg, LED 1kg)
110w/160w: 5kg (controller 2kg, LED 3kg)
170w/230w: 8kg (controller 2kg, LED 6kg)

Just an update. The units are on the way and I hope to have them ready to ship out in about 10 days. Make sure you check out the website for upcoming additions and to see the revised price structure. ( www.MaxspectCanada.com ) The cree units will be a special order at this time as the semi's are just a much better bang for the buck..

Thanks
Eric

Hay all, just want to officially let you know about what's coming in the near future for Maxspect. We will shortly be releasing an optics package for the fixtures. I dont have the prices locked in just yet but will let everyone know as soon as I have them and what the estimated time of availability is. Please see the below info and a pic. We are very excited to ad this new feature and I'll drop more info as it arrives.

Thanks

The default LED bulbs have a spread of 120°.

Using the new reflector cup will change the spread to about 90°. PAR is
increased by 150 to 200% on the same water depth without using optics.

Using the reflector cup AND optics (#1) will change the spread to about 60°.
PAR is increased by 200 to 250% on the same water depth.

The optics comes in three patterns:

1) Regular - standard clear optics, that will allow greater water
penetration capability.

2) Stripe pattern - will change the shape of the light from a circle to an
oval, which means the lights will be spreaded further out to the side,
increasing the width it could cover but reducing the depth.

3) Netted pattern- it'll blurr the edge of the
light illuminated from each bulb, thus improving the color mixing effect.

Note: Using a patterned optics (striped and netted), there will be some loss
of PAR, about 5-7%.

Here's a pic for those that want to see the spread of these units. The tank is an Elos 160 xl with (2) of the Maxspect 160 watt semi Led units mounted just above the water with the railing system.
