HighEndOfTheLow Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hello Folks on the otherside of the pond! (UK here) Hope your well, We are currently setting up a custom 14" x 14" x 12" (LxWxH) sumped pico and were planning to light it with a nanocustoms EvilC66 par38 bulb which we imported 18 months a go to the UK, Unfortunately before we had a chance to finish setting up the tank the bulb bust on us (happens). So we are in the market for a new led light , I've built a few custom build LED rigs but quite like the idea of using another par38 bulb plus we are aiming for a high polished/finished tank overall so dont really want an diy rig unless I can finish it to a high standard. Does anyone have any recommendations? preferably something we can pick up in the UK but dont mind importing ( we just get hit with import tax >.< ) . We were looking at the Orphek PR-25/PR-25UV par38 bulb has anyone had any experiences or views on this bulb? or any other suggestions? We looked at the AI SOL Mini today but werent impressed it looked dull to be honest in comparison to our old par38 bulb. Hope that makes sense! Regards Liz + Luke Link to comment
