CoralCompulsion Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Stay away from that bulb. It only uses cool whites (they really don't understand what 'neutral white' is so they just put a different cool white in and call it neutral), and if it does run at 36w, then it will fail within a year because of overheating. The red LED will be the first to go out. Go for the R420R. It is the only one to include high-CRI whites in the fixture, although they are 50/50 cool and warm white, but the warm does a good job with reds. You need to adjust the two channels a bit to keep the light from looking purplish. DIY is best, but it's not best for all setups though. Your tank is the 8g nuvo? It's difficult to get 'full spectrum' and also not be way too powerful at full blast (which is just a waste). And to note on what is in bold - the fixture has been out for less than a year at this point. You won't find any 'good grown out SPS tanks' with it for many years. Instead, look to the LEDs themselves, as the R420R doesn't use anything special - just off-the-shelf Cree and SemiLEDs chips. People have been growing coral with those LEDs for many years now with great success, and with the right combination of a high-CRI white, you will alleviate the coloration issues that typical 'white/blue' fixtures have. Just for reference, so everyone has the correct information, our bulbs are branded as 36w because they use 12 3w leds, however each led is only running at about 2w each. We guarantee them to continue running for a full 3 years. Also, in regards to the neutral whites, due to demand demand, we are currently working on modifying our spec, and replacing the 6500k whites with 4500k whites. This will be adjusted throughout our whole line, starting with our 20k full spectrum bulbs, in about 2-3 weeks. Link to comment

This will be adjusted throughout our whole line, starting with our 20k full spectrum bulbs, in about 2-3 weeks. If they are not being run at 36w of power, then it is not a 36w bulb and should not be labelled as so (despite the details being correct, almost no one is actually going to read that, and will think they have much more light than they actually do). That, and labeling 6500K as a neutral white is incorrect, as well (compounded by the fact that generic chips are notoriously more 'cool' than they are rated for, ie a 6500K chip would actually measure as 7500K+). I'm glad that you are stepping it up in providing a more full spectra, but keep the labeling consistent. I would also suggest for your 20K bulb to use 2x 3000-3500K warm white (no cool or neutral), 6x RB, 2x cool blue (in the 470nm range), and 2x violet (can you get closer to 430nm from a reliable source?). That'll get some willy wonka-esque colors for sure and would set you apart from the scads of others selling PAR38 now. Link to comment
