A little experiment ;)

[evilc66]

So, what has 36 LEDs, draws 194W, and can throw 1500 PAR at 18" with a crisp 12K color temperature?

[nebthet]

It is something I think I want!!

Is it a 150W MH with 36 1.22 Watt LED's?

[evilc66]

I'll let you guys keep guessing for a little while

[Dizzle21]

1500 PAR?... does it come with sunscreen?

[Deleted User 6]

the Rockefeller Christmas Tree?

[Hans Dorn]

White: cree XP-G

Blue: probably satistronics' 10W

[xgame2k]

something similar to this with a nanotuners logo on it? ha

 

 

- i know i'm way off

[Mustang Boy]

a new nanotuners fixture? one that we can hang over our tanks and that may be able to be easily modded into a dimmable fixture?

[xgame2k]

Yeah.... that's it.

[blasterman]

I think I know this, but I'm disqualifying myself

[plantman1028]

How much and when?

[Zeadon]

36 high power leds with extremely narrow optics?

[evilc66]

It should. Shades too

 

the Rockefeller Christmas Tree?

Nope.

Not quite.

WAY better than that

Maybe

Kind of. You get a glimpse of what the heatsink base is in there.

 

I think I know this, but I'm disqualifying myself

Yeah, you should.

What if I told you that it seems to cover a 24"x24" area at a height of about 36"?

 

 

 

I'll tease you for a little longer. I'll post pictures and all the details this evening after work. Another teaser is that it produces about 300 PAR at 48" (measured in air of course).

With or without optics?

[glennr1978]

It's a laser

[RK_tek]

I hope it's a late Christmas present that the Santa in the brown truck is bringing me

[MikeTR]

sounds expensive.. 5w leds?.. 1500 par at 18"!!! Isn't that like almost 3 times as much par as you need at 6"..?

[Alkomist]

whatever it is....it sounds like itll cost an arm and leg or two

and i need my arms and legs thank you!

[Dr.eclipse]

is it gods light as he descends from heaven...? lol

[evilc66]

With

 

It's a laser

Nope. That would be pretty cool though.

Not this time

It's LED. Of course it is going to be expensive compared to other light sources. 1500 PAR @ 18" is pretty nuts. I can go higher if you want

It's not that bad really once you see what it consists of. Sure, it's expensive compared to other lighting types, but save for a 1000W MH, what else is going to give you 1500 PAR @ 18"?

[phi delt reefer]

evil - any "wet" numbers?

 

ie. par through the water at 12", 18", 24"?

[zemuss]

40 degree optics? Don't think they make anything less than that?

 

400 Watt MH comparison?

[newb_reefer]

It frickin' sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads
