My lights finally arrived! Pictures and a review of the Taotronics LED

Thanks Jerry. Can't keep my hand out of there so I moved the Toadstool. This of course meant moving half my rocks around.LOL My fish are not speaking to me right now but its all good. I really don't like playing with my camera and saltwater at the same time but I will do my best.

 

Congrats vin, looks great.

 

Thanks Cosmo!!8)

 

ok i just hung mine and here a couple pics with different settings. they arent good pics they are from my phone.

WHITE 100% no blue

BLUE 100% no white.

white and blue half turned up.

full power blue and white.

 

Anyone know if these lights can (the dimmable version) be controlled by a reefkeeper light? I noticed my reefkeeper can simulate dusk and dawn, thats why I was wondering if that feature would work with these..

Also, do you run the all blue during the night and mix in whites for daytime? I have these ordered and trying to figure out how I am going to set them up and if I need any other addons for daytime/night..

 

You will need to mod this fixture in order to run it with a controller. I run the blues for 10 hours and the whites 8. The blues come on an hour before the whites to simulate dawn and then stay on an hour after the whites to simulate dusk.(Well sort of lol) I am sure if you mod it you could use these as moonlights but I would probably just add a few smaller blue leds for that. I will let one of our resident led geeks answer that part.lol j/k you guys know I love you.

 

Very Nice Congrats!!!

 

Where do you guys find the dimmable version of this light.. I can not seam to find it any place.
Thanks in advance.
