Milad LEDGroupBuy.com Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 downside is if you are using a MakersHEATSINK, you need to either keep it at the widest angle (80 or 110 depending on which optic you pick) or cut a 2" hole in the aryclic splash shield of your makers heatsink. We will have some pre cut acrylic coming however to help people out. Link to comment
Haelstrom Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Ok. I have the makersled heat sink and the Lumia 5.1. Putting 2 Lumia's over my 75. Each mounted on a 12" makersled heat sink. Which optic would you recommend and how high above the tank? Since I have the makersled I will have to have it set to 80 or 110 depending on which I buy. Right? Plan on hanging the lights this week.

jedimasterben Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Hang the heatsink 8" off the top of the tank, and use the 80 degree maximum. Link to comment
NeveSSL Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hmmm... intriguing... I'm anxious to see what kind of PAR readings and coverage people get with these. Brandon Link to comment
Summoner12 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Will there be something like this for the Lumia 5.2? Or maybe it could work on the 5.2? Link to comment
Milad LEDGroupBuy.com Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 The Lens will fit the lumia 5.2. You wont need adhesive (or just a tad bit to hold it on). Link to comment
Archaic37 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Do you plan on doing PAR readings of the lumia 5.2/.1 over a 24"x24"x24" cube? I think jedimasterben did the 5.1 on here. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 As soon as I can get my hands on one I'll have some numbers up shortly after. Link to comment
soutzee Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 hi im currently holding the lumia 5.2 in my hands in what area do i put the adhesive as it doesnt have markings as the 5.1 does Link to comment
soutzee Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 didi it its ok just put the adhesive on the markings on the lens.. Link to comment
Milad LEDGroupBuy.com Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 didi it its ok just put the adhesive on the markings on the lens.. sorry for the delay on the Lumia 5.2 you almost need no adhesive. just a dab around the mounting holes is fine. Link to comment
soutzee Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 sorry for the delay on the Lumia 5.2 you almost need no adhesive. just a dab around the mounting holes is fine. jajajaj oh well it doesnt affect if i do it like if it were the lumia 51 right? or do i take it out and mount it again?

cocojakes Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 will the lens help more evenly mix the colours into a single beam of light, similar to how the lens works on a Kessil? Or will it make banding worse by focusing the individual beams instead of combining them? I currently have two 5.2s over a 40B and am considering upgrading to a makers heat sink, and makers drivers, so that I have a cleaner looking unit, thats controllable via apex. Would the lens be a worth wile addition, or will it make what little banding I have, worse? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I still do not recommend any lenses, they increase shading of corals. For tanks deeper than 30", though, they start to become a bit more necessary. Link to comment
cocojakes Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I was just looking to use the 110˚ lens, to not really focus the light, just to blend it into one beam instead of rows of particular colours (you still get some weird disco because we have to group the LEDs in rows of like colours in order for any kind of reasonable control) do you think it would help at all with that? Or just make it worse Link to comment
Tom@HaslettMI Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I know you asked about the 5.2... sorry I have no experience with it, but I found the lense on a 5.1 (over an 18x18x18 cube) looks horrible. It completely unblended the multi-chip. Resulting in five distinct bands (cooresponding exactly with the LED layout) throughout the tank. With out the lens it works great. I'm not sure if this translates to a 5.2 or not. Tom Link to comment

I'm not sure if this translates to a 5.2 or not. Tom that was exactly my concern. I can see the same thing you described minimally right now without the lens. it becomes obvious in the shimmer that comes through the glass and onto the floor, but I wanted to hear someones experience with the lens if it amplified or solved the problem, sounds like it amplifies it. thats good to know. thanks for the help Link to comment
