If you want to play that game, fine, here's the actual breakdown of a better than Radion. Components ordered: 24 XT-E Royal Blue @ 4-5w $2.49 x 24=...
The Violets are the best I've used. The Luxeon RB is on par with the Cree XT-E RB, but there are better Cree bins available than what Steve has. The...
I've owned plenty of fixtures, and have done lots of tests, which you haven't even begun to scratch the surface of. I have PAR data, and lots of...
Did you even take a look at the light? It looks exactly the same as Reefbreeders 96 watt light on the outside. I would hardly call that a Pinto.
A Kia cant match a BMW's performance in raw HP, acceleration, or handling, so the price difference is warranted. My light BEATS a new Radion in...
Dimmed with an Apex, 4 channels. The extra $50 in cost assumes you would dim with a Typhon Boostled or other typhon based controller, otherwise less...
I can't? Have a look. http://www.3reef.com/forums/led-aquarium-lighting/diy-cree-xt-e-luxeon-180w-build-137507.html Total price - $350 for all...
No, Ferraris have performance and style that is unmatched by your typical Toyota. You cannot also build your own Ferrari with off the shelf parts in...
This is bull. Anemone posted an almost exact cost structure to what the Radion truly costs. Ecotech certainly didn't spend millions on it, and most...
Go on.....
Peaks at 405nm and 415nm it says. Price the light at $500 and I'd buy it. $949 is an absolute joke. Your Supernova will match it for nearly...
Yikes. That's approaching controllable Cree lighting pricing with Bridgelux leds, unless it is a larger size than standard black boxes. Interested in...
The untold major advantage to using the lights that Logan sells (bridgelux), is that you can actually change each individual led at will. There is no...
They are soldered in. If you are a nutcase warranty voider like I am, the leds are easily replaceable with other similar bridgelux/epistar leds....
My method to remove these from stars, is to desolder the legs first. You pry them up with a small flathead precision screwdriver while you heat the...
I have a pre production version of this light, and I can say for certain that it is awesome. The price is also very reasonable, and I love being able...
Yes, that's why I'm interested in actual UV. There is a real danger of frying coral with it unfortunately if there is too much of it.
Let me know about this, as I've seen 405nm leds being used that weren't as useful as 420nm have been. The basic understanding is that they are...
Yes, by quite a bit. They are spec'd closer to actual 420nm too.
I tried two, the Semileds 420 from Stevesleds, and the True Violet from ledgroupbuy. The Semileds are much nicer.
