Reef Breeders Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Hi everyone, we are excited to announce the release of the SuperLux, which is our latest light and adds some more features and form factor to the value series. The SuperLux is only 1.75" thick, and is 3" wider than the value fixture, so it can be mounted lower to the water and looks nicer than the value series, for only $20 more. Each SuperLux has a built in timer, and only 1 plug, so you can dim and set the on and off times for each channel using an lcd screen built into the light. Unlike the competition, we offer a full 2 year warranty, and our proprietary full spectrum layout which has been developed through years of research and customer feedback. We will release a version of this light with mounting legs next month, so if you have a 24" tank and have a canopy/you don't want to hang the light, we will have a solution for you! The SuperLux is only $199.99 with free shipping, they are in stock and ready to ship out via FedEx ground. You can order your light here: http://reefbreeders.com/shop/superlux/'>SuperLux - Reef Breeders LEDs Link to comment
jmorriso001 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 The timer, is it a simple on off timer, or is it possible to set different intensities at different time periods. Id like a fixture like this that is able to run different channels at different intensities throughout the day. Don't get me wrong the fixture looks great, and I am probably buying it from you guys. Just curious if this superlux works this way. Link to comment
Reef Breeders Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 You can dim and set the on and off times for each channel using an lcd screen built into the light. You can't change it every hour or half hour. So basically, it is like the value fixture, but instead of needing external timers, the timers are built into the light. Link to comment
Ecospire Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 What size area does the SuperLux cover? Link to comment
defective_weeble Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 What are the optics on this? Would two work over a 120 gallon, 48x24x24? I had seen some reports about the Ocean Revive fixture having spotlighting issues with the red and green. Have you guys found a way around that? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Have you guys found a way around that? The fix is not to use optics. Link to comment
defective_weeble Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 The fix is not to use optics. Not always the best option depending on the tank. I was considering a couple over my 120. While leaving off the optics would certainly make them go deep enough, I'd likely have to run 3 in order to get the area coverage. Link to comment

Corals much prefer less overall intense, but distributed light, versus having half the coral be lit by 500 PAR and the other half by 100. Link to comment

I thought that I'd end up with a load of wasted light unless I ran 120 or so optics on my 24 inch tall tank. Link to comment

The primary lens on that package is ~120-130 degrees. Link to comment
Reef Breeders Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 What size area does the SuperLux cover? For sps, a 24" cube, and up to 36" by 30" for a mixed reef with softies on the ends What are the optics on this? Would two work over a 120 gallon, 48x24x24? I had seen some reports about the Ocean Revive fixture having spotlighting issues with the red and green. Have you guys found a way around that? They come as a default with 90s, we put 120s on the reds. We solved that issue by not using greens, they don't serve much purpose and the neutral whites already contain plenty of green, and we also placed the reds near both white and blue LEDs, so they blend in well. We say no issues with spotlighting as low as 3" from the water, however we recommend hanging at about 4-6". Link to comment
tennis20 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Will the brace for the tank work on a Red Sea max 130d? It's about 24" wide Link to comment
Reef Breeders Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Yes, without the cover of course. Link to comment
frootbat Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Can't wait to see what the mounts for this light look like...I have one of the new Fusion 20 tanks, it's 24" and in need of a better light Link to comment
Reef Breeders Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 They should be at our warehouse in a few weeks in quantity, we will have them professionally photographed. The legs look like aluminum tubing bent 90 degrees with a plastic stand for the tank rim. They are very thin and clean looking. Link to comment

buckeyereefer Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Is there an option to get the SuperLux with out legs ??? I do not need them OR want to pay $30 for them. Link to comment
Reef Breeders Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 No, we never intended them to be released without legs, but the legs took an extra month to develop, so we added them later when we could. You can use the light without the legs, it still includes the same hanging hardware. I would recommend keeping the legs if you either switch tanks, or sell the light. And, we are running a $20 off sale until Friday, so you can get the light for $209.99 using the coupon code "super20" Link to comment
reefinnewb Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Man I wish I would have seen the deal.... Just placed an order for the superlux. Can't wait! Link to comment
