[joseserrano]

Has anyone tried these ones, I want a strip light to pretty much just be able to check my stuff out sometimes under deep blues. What do you guys think?

I have a led strip that has a 3m backing on it.. I won it at a coral expo and thought what is this going to do.. its one of my favorite items.. I will get the name of it when I get home for you..

 

[joseserrano]

Cool, thank you. I have tried the current usa true lumens before, but saw these, and was wondering what ppl thought of them.

 

[Sistawolf]

Oh ok.. probably would work about the same.. looks to be about the same price but maybe someone on here that actually has them can pipe in

bump

Sorry it took so long.. but this is the light I was talking about

I've used these before on a 100g tank I had. They do work well. I believe they are 1/4 watt less. I'm just wondering how these reef brites would di

I've used reefbrite xho and tech strips and they are great lights. I'm sure this line is nothing less than that. I'd buy and use with confidence.

I agree, im just going to buy one. Ill throw some pictures up once I get it, maybe someone else may have the same question in the future.

I just added a lumi light to my 90 about a month ago. I did the 50/50 color as a supplement to my T5 HO. Gives an awesome pop of color even when all the T5s are on.

It's got a small profile. Easy to set up, I put mine on a digital timer. My only con are the legs. They don't attach to the light. They are a slip/friction fit. So if you want to slide it back to gain more access I suggest holding the feet and sliding it. A little bit of double sided tape in the box would have gone a long way.

Thank you for the feedback. I am waiting for them to come back in stock at marine depot, so I can place my order.

Do you have a photo of the light on your tank? I'm looking to add one of these to two AI Prime HDs on a 40 gallon but I don't know which color I should get to supplement the Primes. Thanks!

Thanks! That's a 50/50 lumi lite? How do you think it compares to a T5 for par? Like half or less?

I got some really small L brackets from ace and drilled the fixture and used one of the existing holes on the strip to attach it to the fixture with a washer.
