I am thinking that I may need two. If I do I will get it from Blue World in Vic.

As I said above in my reply You dont need any upgrade the Mitras distributed in Canada and the USA comes with Hyperviolet (HV) as stanadard

The price listed is for HV

NON HV is not available in North America unless specifically requested, so if you order a Mitras it will automatically be HV
HV in the LED world for reef tanks with all makes of LED lights is classed as UV as it catches the upper end of the spectrum of UV component. However to have a full on UV component Under (380nm) in an LED fixture could be very dangerous as it is invisible to the human eye. The UV component most LED systems now offer is between 380-420nm this is what is referred to as UV reef tank LED lights.

GHL coined the phrase Hyperviolet as light produced is in the visible part of the UV component and thus a more accurate term in their view.

I guess a simpler answer is

YES all Mitras sold come with UV component - GHL call this HV

So there is no need to upgrade as it already has it.

Hope that helps

Or a less simple answer would be that NO fixtures on the market have true UV LEDs. The Mitras does have the diodes that people are referring to as UV though. Smart ass...yes I know.

Oh...should I take the plunge?? *big sigh*

Haha. Order has been processed! I will be holding on to the Radions for the "other" tank! But you can certainly use them until that "other" tank happens.

I think you are due for a visit, or maybe I am due for a island trip. I still owe you dinner so we gotta arrange some thing soon.
