I've had 2 xenias for a year that never pulsed. Day 2 with lumentek 120s and they started pulsing.

Think that was because old light wasn't bright enuff, or because new light has different spectrum?

How high are you guys mounting your 240s. Building a canopy this weekend and wanted to hear thoughts. With these i could probably do 6' and never have a problem

Probably a balance of both. My old light system was just a cheap 80watt 72" light bar that was 10000k and actinics.

Does anyone run channel 3 any other time besides moonlighting? The specs say that the moonlights are 460nm and the others are 455nm. I'm wondering if I should add those to my daytime schedule.

I run Channel 3 at the same intensity as Channel 2. I figured it couldn't hurt.

That's what I'm doing on the 120.

He wont leave them because RR requires a signature.

zwulfke · Apr 4, 2014

its ok rather be safe and just go get it thought the note with a signature and the tracking number would be enough

joekool · Apr 4, 2014

I protects both parties. Better that way. Sucks waiting though.

joekool · Apr 4, 2014

Tiger i would run them too. The blue would make a nice addition to the overall look and spectrum

Bosco83 · Apr 4, 2014

All you have to do is go to fedex and put in your tracking number and select pick up at local fedex facility.

zwulfke · Apr 4, 2014

Yup all set with that now waiting for the response on ready for pickup I have a 24/7 place near me so I can get it when ever

EllisJuan · Apr 4, 2014

It may be worth giving them a call. I went online and requested pickup and they were not going to notify until the following day. I called the 800 number and they connected me with someone at the local facility and they pulled the package for me.

I just ordered a Lumentek for my 48" x 12" x 21". Anyone try using dual arm LCD mount? I like the flexibility of being able to easily adjust the height and spin it out of the way for maintenance. Plus, they are cheap and strong!! Like $50-$60. Anyone know how much the Lumentek 240 weighs?

17.3 pounds. Lol I asked rick and he said about 20. Finally found my scale about 4 hours later.

Bosco83 · Apr 5, 2014

Thanks EllisJuan! I printed your lighting schedule and I'm going to tweak the hours and maybe the moon lighting.

zwulfke · Apr 5, 2014

just got mine all set up its a bit with 10 min intervals I made up one myself from 5:30 am -8pm for now and moon on until 12am very low. I am very pleased with this light hope to finish my cover/hood and mount it up tomorrow I was going to hang it from the ceiling but I know the cat would use it as a personal bed lol
