Also, if you can find a PAR measurement that covers some spread, showing how it measures against the others here...

It just flashes of light to mimic a storm, makes for good conversation. Check out the videos I posted.


We do not have those number yet. Once I get them in I will do some par testing myself. With that being said you need to remember that something like the 48" has over 70 leds, so the spread is thought the length of the fixture. You're getting 200 par directly below across 48"'s. The questing is, how much par for and aft.

Free shipping on pre-orders.

thanks

Well this sounds like a good option, $50 is ok, because i don't use Idevices and don't like $900 controllers as well.

But after a quick Craigslist search the cheapest one i found was $100 not $50.

People want $50 for an iphone case on CraigsList.

But buying a new LED light for $1000 and having to spend even more on something to control it is somewhat of a turn off.

Hi,

No one said you HAVE to :-) The lights come with a built-in controller and you have the option to control them with I-app or Android.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

thanks,
Ray

If the PAR readings are accurate getting 250 at 24" then yes they should be more than enough for SPS.

I hope they are because i've ordered a 60" fixture to try on my full SPS tank.

Most will be able to run the lights at 75-80% to grow SPS. I personaly grow SPS with T5's and I can tell you the the F-series will blow them out of the water....no pum intended.

One client in the US replaced his 2 x 250 MH fixture with a 72" SB and he's running it at 75%.

The 72" has 30 5W LED's!

thanks,

Ray
