new LED fixture

well thank but lets wait till it is here, I am not sure about the quality of this product yet. I usually don't sell them until I am 100% trust the product. After all, light fixture is one of the most expensive and important part of our fish tank.

 

finally got some picture from the company, they have been changing the fixture around so I decide to wait for their new version. Aparrently that budsbunny from 3reef also got couple of these new lights as well, can't wait till they finally ship them out.

I think this is the 24" one

 

finally got my sample light and still try to figure out how to setup the setting.
It is a 3 channel dimmer and the light is very bright, the only thing I don't like is the hanging kit is not adjustable and if I let it sit on top of my tank (3 inches above water), the light won't cover my entire tank 24x24x24. I am hanging it high and still see some shadow area at the very front of my tank but I think that isn't really a problem as most people usually keep the very front of the tank clear and easy for viewing.

Here are some pictures I took in a rush but at least its here.

 

Interested to see a review of this. I had been looking and fairly convincd on DIY Bridgelux, however if I can get something made by someone else it may be worth a little more

 

well here is what I found of the light,
I have the 24" Bridgelux 108w fixture.
Looks to me the coral like it and not much problem so far.
There are couple things I don't like about the light,however, those are easy fix.
1)the lense is 60 degree which means it require to hang high to cover a 24x24 area. I hang my light for about 10 inches above the water surface and I still see some shadow area at the back of the tank.
2)The hanging kit cannot be adjusted, it only comes with 1 size. I can see it can be replace with other hanging kit of your own easily.

Overall I think the light itself is decent for the cost of it, I also like that you can just buy the fixtures without the controller and to those that want to further saving extra money up front is a good option. I would say for the cost, this light is a decent option to replace a T5HO or a MH fixture without too much fancy options.
