I did a search for par38 and par 38 and could not find the light.

Finally got to set up the LED light over my tank last night. Hung it with a "Wire Suspension Hanging Kit" that works well. Allows me to easily raise or lower the light.

The light emitted looks and acts differently than the T5's that I'm used to. It looks much "whiter", and does throw a lot of shadows. Anything under something else does not get any ambient light. Nature of LED's? Seems to replace my 4 bulb ok. Using with a 2 bulb Nova T5. Probably will replace the Nova with another one of these "someday".

 

Pics?

 

Ha! I knew that was coming. I'll post this weekend, but please no comments on my bryopsis farm.

 

Does anyone have any pictures of this fixture yet? I would have posted some when I received mine but it was damaged in transit and I still have yet to receive my replacement. I ordered this fixture on July 30th and still don't have a working unit yet and am getting very anxious to see how these look above a tank.

 

Hi, I have order one of this unit, when it was on sale or promotion. Do you still have more at that same price?

 

I emailed OCReef about sending my light back. My corals are retracted and some are browning out. I think this would be an excellent light in addition to another system, however.

That's to bad. Do you have the light directly on your aquarium, or did you hang it?

Other than the shadowing, I and I believe my coral are happy with the light. I haven't measured, but I think it is about 10 inches to a foot from the waterline. Much higher than my T5's were.

 

It is hung about 12 inches above the tank and about 14 above the water. This was the "sweet spot" for spread and shadows. My frogspawn looked great the first couple days but now they look terrible. They are retracted and haven't been fully extended in almost a week. I have zoas that are starting to brown as well. I am going to switch back to my t5 fixture and hopefully everything will recover
