Biocube question?

choward1980 · Mar 2, 2014

I have a biocibe 29 with stock lighting. There are 4 switches on top. I'm assuming it is for adding more lights. What kind of lights can I add to this stock hood. Right now I have white, blue, and moonlight led. It looks like it will take 4 more LEDs but I'm not sure.

I have a biocube as well, i believe the extra switch is to add another moonlight or a led strip.

That is what I was thinking, but which lights will work. And do I just need the bulbs or is there a kit i can get. Will adding more light do anything to help?

I would stay away from the Panarama Pro modules. I bought 2 of them and within 6 months the individual LEDs started to burn out.

one switch for daylight another for Actinic another for Moonlight and another for accent lights.

IMO I dont think its even worth it. You cant independently control the accent light. You can only turn it on when the moonlights are on. I can take a pic of mine if you would like.

DIver why wouldnt you call customer service?

Here you go.

The LED on the lower left is the white accent light.

It looks blue in the pic but its white.

With it on^

With it off^

If you ask me, its too much light to keep on all night and too much of a hassle to turn on and off. It should have been designed with an extra cable and not in series with the moon lights. Hope this helps.
