LED'S supplements for MH lightning fixture

[Smite]

Im sure a pair of orpheks will be fine for any tank narrower than 36" front to back. Personally, I'd have them placed between the MH and T5 for blending when all lights are on. Otherwise you might see a gap in the middle when looking from the side and blue under overhangs.

Some folks wrote here that Orpek led bars have narrowed spread.
I'm guessing that this problem could be solved with high mounting of that bars.
45 cm above water surface is fine ?

There are a lot cheaper ways to dim them from a tc-421 on up..
Mostly phone app or wifi.
BT is kind of dead..

Any constant voltage array is cheaply controlled..See all the strip light units..

One is for 2 power supplies 1 strip on each, the other for 1 ps 2 strips.
Afaict...



If you can use the 1 ps / 2 strips depends on the size of the orig ps and if it has enough wattage for 2 bars or upgrade the ps.

All depends on you. Which bars are you considering?
How many and what do you want them to do?

The lumi lite pros are a bad decision, you will not notice they are on with the MH,

I have the OR3s and the XHOs. You will see them both with the halides on.

Agreed! The difference is price (xho’s are much more) and dimming. Orpheks have been threatening us with dimming capabilities for a few years, but nothing yet as far as I know, but xho’s have dimming at an extra cost, which increases their overall cost even more.

Just go " cheap" for supplemental light.
Only need one sunsetter..

It is powerful enough to run both channels on a 4ft ReefBar Pro and can run up to 4 of the 4ft Reefbars (using correct splitters that we can provide)
