This is just a teaser for the next LED group buy I will be setting up here soon. This will be great for smaller picos with just one light, or larger ones with a few. Pricing will be reasonable.

I'll post more details at the end of the week

ooooo... pretty. Subscribed.

Sweet heyzeus! Will be waiting for the details.

WANT! put me on the list if there is one! subscribed!

I'll start a list but keep an eye out for the group buy soon.

interesting - how strong are these?

All details will be revealed at the end of the week.

it's friday!!

oh wait... it's only tuesday.

sad.

Ooohh

Maybe another teaser tonight?

Argh!!!!

Me!

do want

Figured you might

That light just looks like a reason to start a Pico...count me in!

can't wait till we get the second teaser!

That's why I'm here.

Sign me up for one for a 2 gallons AIO system. thanks.

Evil,

If I were to guess is it a Phillips bulb? because looking at the housing it seems similar to their range, but two whites and blue?!! I have never seen anything like that...

wish i had a pico...

Sexy!

I want one!

Is it going to light up the entire pico?? Or are we just talking about a spotlight effect?

If it's going to allow me to toss my stock picotope lighting by the wayside... then it definitely could be of interest to me. Hmmm....

Looks HAWT!

Thats all you are getting till Friday

Very interested in this... I'll be watching!

I'll take one. Anything Evil makes is gonna be a great product no doubt.

Can I beta test it?

I'm thinking of starting a 1g pico....this may be perfect....=)

I'll pay YOU to beta test it Evil

Don't worry. You guys will be able to get your hands on it soon.

Very cool. I uses Current USA Power bright blue LEDs and Thought about buying 3 or 4 strips and tying them together to make a light fixture, but that would be a little pricy.

hey evil! i've PM you about the led lights for current usa light fixture for my 3 gallon pico. was wondering if you gonna have a group buy for that soon. PM me back. thanks!

I'll be doing those again on the group buy. I'm thinking it will be in two weeks. Maybe sooner if some other things work out faster.

Gimme Gimme Gimme!

Ooooh pretty

Surgery light for a pico.



I LOVE IT! I'll be watching closely for details!

That thing is gonna be hot! I can already tell.

Yeah, I want at least 2.

You know, I always seem to create quite a stir on this site whenever I post something like this.

Wonder why!?

Because you're the god of LED lighting. Apollo has nothing on you.

Is it Friday yet?

well on the east coast its less then an hour away, but something tells me evill won't let us in on his secret till sometime tomorrow night

Interesting.. Put me on the list!.. would one be too powerfull for a .5 gal or a 1 gallon?

*ahem*

Friday. Details. Puh-leeeze.

^^ ditto

c'monnnnnn

Yes. Strangely this is the first thing I did online this morning is find this thread.

secret's out:
http://www.eco-sell.com/services/eshop/mai...ory&CatID=4
looks like he modified them to include a blue amongst the white


they even have different amounts of led's in the lights AND they screw into a standard house socket!!!

sorry evil...couldn't wait

Your close Travis, but not quite.

These are screw in bulbs, but they are running at 3x2W with 60 degree optics with genuine Cree XR-E LEDs (would I use anything less?). The Eco-Lamps versions are 1W LEDs (unknown brand) and I have no idea what angle optics they use.

Here are a few pictures:







These are a standard medium base bulb that will screw into any lamp or custom fixture. They run totally passive, so no fans needed. They do get warm, but not hot enough to do any damage or to burn you or anything else. I have been running this lamp for a while now, and it's doing quite nicely.

The lighting effect is a little different and acts more like a spotlight, but the effect is quite dramatic. Color is around 12K with one royal blue LED, and a 20K option will be available also with two royal blue LEDs. These are not adjustable.

Performance wise, they do pretty well for only 6W. Preliminary PAR levels were around 130 at 12", and will light an 8" diameter area pretty well. This will be good for the smaller picos, and two could be used for 12" wide tanks like the JBJ Picotope (and similar) and 2.5g AGA tanks. I will have full PAR measurements and tank pictures later this evening hopefully.

Now for the bottom line: cost. $75 shipped for 12K. $85 shipped for 20K (sorry, the extra LED costs me more).

I'd like one for my Picotope!

I'm new to the whole lighting thing - what's the difference between the 12K and the 20K?

Anyway, if we want one shoudl we just fire you a PM?
