AliExpress A8SE Reef Light

[Matt1997]

Just on general coral pics how would you describe growth etc.

Pretty normal growth I’d expect for sps. Tough to guage considering the frags I made. Color improved on all pieces from the original color when purchased. Look at the picachu (grey with yellow) turned to a strong yellow with crazy growth over 2/3 months.

Do the mounting arms extend?

After shipping + Tax
Approx $10,000 vs Approx $23,000

You lose warranty but at that price I can buy a replacement of each.

Hard to get a deal like that anywhere. Is there an estimated shipping time for the tanks? And which ones did you decide to get if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Matt1997]

You will get a 1 year warranty from the seller depending who you go with

In the case of the A8se, you can purchase the bulb alone for $168 if you apply a coupon from AliExpress. I am considering purchasing it for $180 including the X bracket.

However, due to an additional 20% import tariff imposed in Korea(180$->total about 213$),

I'm seriously considering buying the full set of K7 pro v3 for $148 without tax.

Because the final cost will vary by about $60. haha.

I think the A8se would be more interesting because I want to try out relatively unknown lights.


= The options are as follows. =

1. A8se $180 (including X bracket, lights only $168)

2. X30 Blue: $215
- In A8se, 6 green emitters have been changed to blue.
-Meanwell adapter provided

3. A8S $273
- Use of LED emitters from CREE (unofficially provided as an X bracket service)

4. K7 PRO v3: $148 (includes bracket and stand)

Hi Joneuo,

Can i ask where did you find them for 180$ ?
My cheapest Listing that i am finding is 218$.


Thanks for your Time

Best Regards

~60 days for mine but it’s normally quicker (holidays), its a hobby of patience so no issues with the time. Got a 4ft frag and the largest lx they carry.

Anyone have any experience with this light? Just found it browsing AliExpress and thought it looked to be a pretty good knock off of the XR30

AliExpress A8SE

I tried searching but nothing came up unless I was searching wrong

Be careful. It looks like there are two different clones with variances in the LED array. I'm not sure if it's just a diffuser on one and not the other, but take a look again. You'll see what I mean.

I just bought some SPS from a guy using them over his growout tanks and there is no denying they do the job very well and produce a high amount of PAR. He keeps some very well-growing and impressively colored SPS.

It's such a good copy in fact, it makes you wonder where they get the "stones" to charge you a grand for the name brand one.

The a8s actually showed a similar or thicker spectrum to the g6 xr15 in the blue region below 500nm. The a8se is probably a good enough light too!

One of my Kessil AP 700 Died on my 48''x24''x24'' so im thinking of getting rid of the second one and replace them with the A8SE's

I dont care about the Warranty so why Not give Thema a Chance

Anyone know the trick to get the AIPAI app to accept the custom setting of ramp up and ramp down?

I can get the app to work in manual mode but not in custom

Lights for not ramp up and down nor turn off when they should

Anyone know any tricks with the app?

Make sure the light is verified. … at the top and the magnifying glass. If the info is blank, connect the light to its local network and then add wifi and verify when done. If you still cannot save a profile, switch to Chinese app and save there.

By any chance, if you downloaded the app from a link posted on WEB by someone else, delete the app and then download the app through the QR code in the enclosed manual.

Yup
Download app from QR code.

Can’t get the light to turn on and off nor to ramp up and down using auto setting.

Clock matches hour in program but the lights do not ramp up and down.

Will keep trying

Will keep playing with it

AIPAI app users HELP!!!

I can connect to the light in my WiFi settings

I can open the app and click yes to direct connect and go into light setting.

I can see my router in the WiFi connection list.

I can put in my password but it will not link with my router. Have reset router and light. Deleted app and reinstalled. Restarted iPhone.

I have also tried on my android tablet and can only get to the same point where it won’t connect to router.

Press and hold the middle button until you see the light in your wifi settings than connect to the unit with close distance to your iPhone and than try to link it. Works for me.

I was this > < close to ordering 4 of the Cube 20 AiOs. I had a really cool vision for my home office with an entire wall of identical tanks, each setup for something different (LPS, SPS, anemones, softies). Unfortunately, my wife's vision did NOT align with mine.

haha funny I just setup cube20 with vision for anemones in my bedroom
