Yes, that is why we are waiting a little while, we have a new test unit coming in as well, with some more new colors.
We just got in a ton of 96watt value fixtures with the new linkable case Today, they are ready to ship tommorrow, and are going fast, so order...
If your diodes are properly cooled, they will not shift in spectrum. After their rated hours, if properly cooled, they fade to 75% power, they do not...
50 lumens < 1 watt of power on a cree XT-E. It is a great concept, but for now, I use a 9volt battery to power an LED lamp for 12 hours or so, enough...
An update: We got a reply from Dr. Joshi, and he is willing to test the fixtures. We will set one aside for his testing in the next couple weeks,...
I will miss him, great actor. RIP
We might sign up for these, the Zetlight fixtures look very promising!
I went to that very same beach in Cape Cod, the seals were fun to watch, really funny animals, they beg the fishermen for food at the dock, kind of...
Bridgelux are the cheaper ones, and can only be run at 700ma max. Crees have many different series, the oldest ones have 700ma max(XRE), the older...
Looks like you can de solder to me. The method I use, is to grab the diode in the middle with a pair of needlenose pliers, and when the solder melts,...
Steve, you summed up this debate very well, it has calmed down considerably, and I think that everyone, including me, learned at least a little bit...
It comes down to the solder patterns, bridgelux leds will not fit the cree footprint, and the manufacturer will not change the boards. That is why we...
I agree 110%, I wish we could add violets to our cree fixtures too, but no luck. Right now diy is on of the best options.
To find the right footprint, you need to check the xte spread sheet, most of the cree LEDs will use the same "XP" series footprint. No, a breadboard...
Blasting your corals for four hours, then not at all can harm them even more. Like I said before, turn it down to 20% or less, and run them 12 hours...
They will be fine. I have had an acan burn the corals down to the skeleton, with no tissue visible, only to come back weeks later, stronger than...
I remember when I fragged my birds nest, it was towards the bottom of an LED lit tank , and I moved the frags to the top of an LED lit frag tank,...
Absolutely not, unless you added pods or weaned him onto frozen, and were willing to feed the mandarin 2-3 times a day. They are not meant to eat...
Greg, I am not mad at you, and you very well may be right. If you are, I will admit if you're right, right here in this thread. And yes, we choose...
Looks like a very promising fixture!
