Underworld2.0 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 My question is : would one luxeon 3up be adequate for a reef jar with only softies ? using the traditional 2g jar? Quote Link to comment
Lingwendil Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 "probably" but two might be better, depending on how deep/wide it is. If it was me I would spend a bit more and go with a puck from BlueAcro, and bolt it to a cheap heatsink. Run it off of a couple LDD-L drivers and a 18~24 volt power brick. 1 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 While I agree a BlueAcro array would be superior, you should have adequate lighting with a single 3up star, though you may have trouble getting a pleasing color to the eye with so few diodes in the mix, especially for softies. I would stress to get a high-CRI white to help you see the non-fluorescent colors of most softies 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment
Horerczy Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Like Ben said a 3 up will work depending on the diodes chosen. Blue acro array would definitely be better but much more expensive comparatively. Quote Link to comment
