Wanna add some Royal Blue LED pop to your existing light setup for cheap?!

[Reefing8EZ]

Hey everyone,
Found out about this great deal on Ecoxotic Panorama Actinic LED strips from a rep over the phone.. http://www.ecoxotic.com/panorama-actinic-blue-led-light.html
The 24" version is only $39 and the 36" version only $49! Only the all blues are on special not the marine version which is white and blue LED combo.

They are on clearance discount. These normally go for $160 at MD. Get them while they last. They output very nice light. Of course next to T5 they are invisible

You read my mind thanks Vu.

how do you add these to an ati unit?

 

[ngvu1]

I have seen people customize the brackets. James, NewToThis, mounted his reef brite this way, may be he will put some input here.

Aren't these only .5 or 1w LEDs?

 

[watchguy123]

Looks cool, ordered two. At that price hard not to. Now I can have blue pictures as well.

.5 I am pretty sure but still a pretty good price for supplements or night actinic viewing

20 LEDs, 25watts. 1.25 watts at 100%.

There is a dimmer with the light so you can do night viewing with the dimmer .... Not automatic though!

I'm def the lucky one, I was looking for actinic LED that I can use for viewing before and after MH. I was about to order a DIY kit from rapidled which cost me maybe more than this! thank you so much!

Here's what came in the mail today

So two comments
1). The heat rack is really hot, I have a reefbrite over my frag tank and it is only warm to the touch. This guy is hot to the touch

2). Talk to me guys, do you need to acclimate corals to this blue 445 nm light

I wouldn't worry about the heat, that's what the heat sink is there for!! Do u have any type of fans in your canopy? If so, they will be fine. With those LEDs, I wouldn't be too worried about acclimating corals. Just start slow, do one hour in the Morning, and one at night. Or only 2 hours at night...something like that. Then I would bump it up 2 hours every week until u get them to the time u want.

My light fixture is 36" and I was thinking about getting one but what do you guys think is better the 24 or 36?

 

[Goober]

I'm using ecoxotic 36" marine pros and the blue isn't "blue" enough for me so I just got in the actinic and plan on installing them tomorrow. I love these lights and the customer service is amazing

I would go with the 36" for full cover as these lights don't spread too well
