mcblablabla Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Hello Dave, please can you post me the dimension of the Nano Box V3 Array (best in centimeter)? A = B = C = D = E = Reasons are: I'm planning the heatsink layout and I'm looking for lenses. I like very much the lenses from ledgroupbuy (http://www.ledgroupbuy.com/lumia-optic-lens/) and found some similar lenses on Chinese sites. But I don't know if the would collide with the PCB because of the missing dimension parameter. By the way. Does anyone has a good suggest for lenses which could be suitable for Dave's V3? Thanks, Gerd Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The Lumia lens will not fit. On top of that, don't use lenses. Link to comment

Thanks, Gerd Gerd, I can get this info but the lens won't work. May I ask what you are trying to do so I can see how I can help? If you still want the dimensions let me know! -Dave Link to comment
Horerczy Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 If gerd doesn't want the dimensions I do. Though I could just take my mini down and take those myself I guess. Link to comment
mcblablabla Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 On it. Hello Dave, I described my project under http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/355869-nano-box-v3-array-lime-luxeon-t-uv/page-2#entry4932208and you already answered. Yes it would be nice if you could post the dimensions. My problem is the hight of the tank (High 93 cm/ 36,3 inches). I afraid, that without lenses I cant get good results. Thanks, Gerd Link to comment

Thanks, Gerd Why can't you get results without lenses? I have eight arrays in two rows over a 48"x24" area, ~26" above the bottom of my tank, and I get nearly 300 PAR on the bottom of the tank, which is really too much for even a wall to wall SPS tank. Extrapolating the distance to 42" (the 36" height of the tank plus 8" hang height), the 300 PAR at the bottom becomes ~115 PAR (light intensity is an inverse square and fairly easy to calculate). You have a larger footprint to cover so you'll need more arrays (like Dave mentioned, 12-14x for proper coverage) and you can also run them at higher currents than I am - I'm only pushing 350mA through white channel and 700mA through the rest, around 22 watts per array. I just really hate lenses if you can't tell Link to comment
