Reef Breeders PAR 38 LEDs

Reef Breeders · May 9, 2012

That's right, we have more cool stuff on the way! As always these will have a large variety of colors. The fixture has a total of 12 LEDs made up of cool whites, royal blues, greens, reds, UV/violet, and blue LEDs. They are 3 watt LEDs driven at 2 watts that ~60 degree carclo ripple wide optics, and available for pre order now. The price is already set, we are very satisfied with these fixtures, $89.99 shipped is the asking price, the competitors sell these same exact fixtures for $120+, and that doesn't include shipping. We have a full 2 year warranty, and clip on sockets will be available for mounting.

We tested the PAR of these over a 14" cube, and got the following results: Just under the surface-400, halfway- 275, on the bottom: 150, aorund the edges on the bottom- 100 , all while drawing only 9.5 watts!

You are really expanding the business. I am anxious to see more about these, as I like the minimal look to the PAR38 style.

We will start with a non dimming one, but we like dimmable fixtures, so look out for those too.

The bridgelux value fixture would be perfect, the par 38 will do a 12" cube

The release date is now june 1, sorry for the delay, it took longer than expected to have the fixtures shipped. This date will not change, unless they arrive early

The first one came in today, and so far we love it! The color is amazing, and it gets really good spread and depth penetration. It uses carclo ripple wide optics, which are defenitely the best in the business. These bad boys will light a 16" cube or smaller no problem, we will post PAR readings shortly!
