Arce Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 And overkill is bad why? I say do it, at $120 shipped it's worth it. Lol its bigger than my tank! lol, honestly with the recent trend of everyone going back to T5s you might be hard pressed on find one for a good deal. I would be all over this if i wasn't already loaded with light fixtures ranging of all sizes. lol Yea you got a point there.. Link to comment
Halo_003 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Lol its bigger than my tank! Yea you got a point there.. It's 6" bigger than my 20 long too. But I want to go to a 36" tank so I picked it up on the off chance that I do. After bulb's I'll have spent $200 for a fixture worth 2x that much. Link to comment

Halo_003 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I LOVE that Blue+ and True Actinic. That is excellent. Would I be better served doing 2x True Actinic & 2x Blue+ or should I have a Coral+ in there as well? Link to comment
farkwar Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 I like 6 myself. 2 Blue Plus, 2 Purple Plus. Going to trade one Purple plus for KZ Fiji. And then Coral Plus and Actinic as 5th and 6th tubes, as Midday light. Im a complete Tube Nube, this is kinda fun. Went from MH to LEDs, skipped tubes entirely. You can mix and match colors very easily. Bought some tubes for terrarium too. Link to comment
Halo_003 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I looked 2 3 and 6 actually lol. Link to comment
Horerczy Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Woot. 8 lamp junction box. Holy power cord Batman! Beautiful reflectors. More photos later when i get home. Link to comment
jsantoli Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 And no mounting hardware at all right? I just got shipment notification for a 6 bulb 24" fixture Link to comment
Horerczy Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 It has a hanging kit. Just no mounting legs. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Mine should be here thursday. Need to figure out what the heck I need to buy to retro it. Link to comment
Horerczy Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Not much. a small psu some drivers a controller. This would be a worthy candidate for some of dmitri's drivers and controller. Link to comment

Halo_003 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Beautiful reflectors. More photos later when i get home. Isn't it awesome? I was really impressed with how well made it feels. Link to comment
CrazyEyes Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'm not trying to be a bummer because it's a good looking light for the price but gawd dayum that's a lot of cords to find room for. Link to comment

Price to pay for controllability. I'd rather have a ton of cords and be able to have channels on timers, than have 1 cord for everything so it all comes on at once. Link to comment
Halo_003 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 No I get it. Though I must say, having a single cord with a built in controller would be badass. Link to comment
CrazyEyes Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I know this is a stretch, I just love the way the ATI did their powermodule but I know I'm comparing apples to oranges on this one. Link to comment

No I do agree, I was really considering one actually but then saw this and had to spring for it. The biggest thing I don't like about this is it doesn't come in matte white/pearly white.

Yeah that's the one thing I hate about it but that's because controllability isn't important to me. Once I get the nano-box stuff on there... it's going to need its own DJ power switch.

Horerczy Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 More pictures incoming. Waiting for them to upload. Link to comment
Horerczy Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hanging kit Mounting point Junction box insides: Leds: Unsurprising diode choice. surprising mcpcb size though. Big optic four ballasts, one led driver, one fan psu hiding in here. I think with a nice low voltage psu some of dmitrys drivers and his wireless controller would work best in here. Link to comment
