thats actually a very impressive retention rate. no worries on that then

I was pretty pleased overall.

1900 LEDs!!! Wow! I hope they at least gave you free shipping!

Pfft! Yeah right! Their shipping isn't bad though. The shipping for the drivers sucks becuase they don't have a UPS or Fedex account, so there are no discounts. I don't think I will be purchasing from them again. Too many headaches.

Glad to hear the Pico stuff came in - really looking forward to some serious light on the Betta Cube I started!

Hell, they don't even have the drivers yet! Couldn't pass that one up. hahah Getting ready for the slap in the face coming my way....

Different company

I've been slapped ahah. Well played.

I miss all the good stuff! If there's a 20k pico bulb left over at the end of this let me know. Going to have all of nano reef running leds at this rate.

Evil,

Will you be PMing us when the orders go out or will we just be pleasantly suprised when they get here?



Kevin

based on the last update the 1st batch of drivers doesn't arrive for another week and a half, so don't start holding your breath just yet.

I will be sending PMs out when orders get dropped in the mail. I got volunteered this weekend by my wife to paint the house. Needless to say I got less done than I wanted. House is starting to look good though First orders will be out today.

Hey Evil,

Did you get a chance to send out any orders? When they do go out, will you PM the tacking info?

Thanks!

Evil, will the Satellilte retros go out before the Satellites? If it's going to be later than June 20, let me know and I"ll PM you a new address to ship them to (I'm moving).

Thanks man.

You guys need to read a little more carefully

First orders will be shipping TODAY. I was busy all weekend painting the house, like I stated four posts ago.

Satellites and retros will probably be going out at about the same time, but I'm not sure I will be getting them out by the 20th. DHaut, if you don't hear from me by then, just send me the new address when the time comes.

evil....
don't post anymore!!!!....your post count is 6,666...
too perfect for a guy with a name like "evilc66"

I totally missed that post!

totally missed it.

soo hawt so excited for my satellite. corals were extending in excitement!!!

Can't wait for my lenses to come in! I've got all my LEDs in place and I want to try out the lenses before I start soldering.

I cant wait for the PM that says my LEDs are on the way!!!! If I get them by this weekend, the LEDs will be installed by Monday.

Same here!

I'm looking for a couple of the pico lamps, 20k, if anyone has backed out or wants to sell me theirs...

I wish I don't receive any PM saying that they're on the way. I'd prefer just to have the surprise very unexpected lol

Any updates? Are you only shipping out on weekends?

All LED and lens only orders are shipped out (including yours therman, just been slacking on getting the PMs out). We are still on track for the shipping date for the drivers, so those should start shipping out to you guys in a little over a week.

Awesome! you da man!

If anyone backs out of the 12" pico light or pico light retro , pm me I want it

Received my lenses in the mail yesterday, easiest install ever! Thanks again for organizing this evilc66

SWEET!!!

I have only lenses and LEDS coming and I'm in PA so it shouldn't be TOO much longer!!!!



I'm SOOOOO impatient.

Kevin

Any ETA on the Sunpod actinics Evil?

I'm in PR and I'm dying here. I should be the last one! Aaaaaaghhhh

hey if anyone backs out on a sunpod LED actinic tell me por favor.

They're coming guys. I'm swamped, so please be patient.

Got all 44 LEDs epoxied and wired on the heat sink yesterday, and every one works on the first try (something like a "hole in one"). It is B R I G H T!!!!

Just have to attach the fans and hang it tonight and I'll be done. Is there some sort of speed competition for LED builds? Pics to come later. The wiring job was not planned well in a rush, so the arrangement of the circuits is a bit sloppy, but otherwise I am VERY happy.

Thanks Clive!

You're very welcome.

I'm starting a thread in the Lighting section to compile a list and links to all the LED projects that are active in NR. We have a ton started and running already, but with all the LEDs that are going out to people, we are going to see a lot more.

Got it running over the tank now...man the Crees are bright. Makes my old Luxeon 3/K2 fixture look like trash next to it. I'm running it with all 25 deg optics ~3ft from the corals and I still have it dimmed down. Corals are loving it! I really dig the tight optics high over the tank with lots of room to view from the top. Next tank might be 8 degree optics and fixture flush with the ceiling ;D

Nice. I'd love to see some pictures of that.

UPDATE: The first batch of drivers shipped from the distributor, and I should be seeing them Wednesday of next week. This will be only the first 90, so I won't be able to get all the orders covered right away. The remaining 51 are supposed to be here at the end of the month.

Yaaaaahoooooooo!!!!!!!!
Time to get mean.... Meanwell that is
Man I can taste it

Cool, how do you decide what ships when? Is it based off of the order that people placed their orders in?

Also any update on what I had PM'd you about?

Most likely I will ship in order of payment. That seems the fairest way to me. I'm sure some others might dissagree

I'll have to get back with you on that issue. I need to check some things out.

How about closest to you ships first?

Nice try

Cool thanks, I think that'll put me in the first group to go out. Sweet.

Yeah that would be me anyway, I think I can probably spit to his house!!!!!!

I agree in payment order though really. Those that came to the table first get first production.

def think michiganders should get shipment first

I was wondering if you could let me know if I'm in the first shipment for the drivers, evil?
