need help.choosing leds

greg0385 · Feb 13, 2013

Let me know what you think

Two clusters(40 leds each) with 4 (4ft)t5s( 2 on each side)

Layout:
ATI blue+
ATI coral +
80- 3watt bridgelux leds = 30RB, 10 blue, 10(10k),10(6500k), 8 UV, 4 red, 4 green, 4 cyan== (all of these divided into two(40) clusters - 60Â° optics on all but red which will have 120Â° optics
ATI purple+
ATI blue+

A local member thinks i should replace the UV with 420nm led. Any thoughts?

Tank info:
150 tall- 48" x 24" x 31" (l x w x h) two rock islands 16" tall covered in SPS. Lighting info is in signature and par readings are around 250 ontop of scape. Important that i improve par levels to around 400 16" down to the top of scape.

Wanting to order soon so any help to fine tune this if needed would be much appreciated.
thanks
Greg

I would like to see those tests. They use Bridgelux equivalent LEDs, so while I do not doubt their output, I do not think they are the best.

I'd like to see the test data also. Has Sanjay tested the Orphek? I wouldn't trust any data unless it was preformed by an independent source.

Yes, he has. But not on the new ones I dont think.

I don't know if he has either. I currently have the PR-156W leds. I am sure there are many excellent leds out there i only know that i am very happy with the performance of my Orphecs.
