Lumini pixie 150

[JNewiN]

anyone on here currently using the pixie or used in a previous build? Pros vs Cons? Contemplating picking up a pair of these. Thanks in advance.

I have 2 right here that I will be using on my new 80 gallon build and in a black box study. They are built like a tank and have a really good mount with them
The lights have to use the wireless Lumini controller to be able to use the app for phone or tablet.

This is definitely one of the lights I am really interested in from your study. Doing some digging, their claims are that 1 unit is good for 3' x 2' area of the tank. That seems far fetched, at least if you are thinking about doing any corals that arent low light. I am wondering if 2 of these units would be good for 120g tank (4 x 2 x 2) or not. I couldnt use 3 for example due to center brace. It would create shadow and defeat the purpose of that 3rd light fixture.

I guess time will tell when you start testing it. Fingers crossed

I am not sure from talking to them that for sps one light would definitely cover a 24in x 24in area and it should as per specs but not sure about 3ft x 2ft area.

Yeah, not sure what to think really. Their site says the following: Suitable tank Size 90cm(L)*60cm(W) tank (which is 3 feet x 2 feet)

Interestingly, it looks like there are 2 different version as well. SPS and LPS version. Only difference is light spectrum apparently. Again from their site:
Pixie 150 has SPS and LPS version, we designed
different spectrum basis on various requirements of
coral growth. Pixie 150 provides natural enviroment
for biologies with thunderstorm, moonlight, sunrise,
sunset weather simulations.

Wonder which one you have, if there is a way to differentiate between the 2...

Seems only one version because the translation is a bit wrong on the site. It should say that it has 2 different modes for either sps or lps.

And here are the channels as they just told me...
Channel 1 = UV and blue
channel 2 = white and blue
channel 3 = blue and purple
channel 4 = red and green

Any feedback on the light performance?
