reefbrite xho or DIY led 48" supplement bar

[secretreefer]

hey fellas,
just wondering if anyone has the new reefbrite xho bar, hows it compare to the tech bar, or should i buy a diy kit. i already have a reefbrite tech bar 48" and want to keep things looking symmetrical. need 1 more then i can mount both onto my giesmann neptune-pro. so i'll have KZ fiji purple bulbs in the t5 part of the fixture, 2 x 250w phoenix 14k halides and 1 reefbrite or 2, (or 1 rb and diy bar). opinions lmk.

One diy bar is equivalent to 3 reefbrite xho bars.... plus you can dim them man no comparison lol... Reefbrites aren't cranked because there is no where for the heat to go...

lol i was waiting for master Lee. thanks bro! could you PM me the specs you used? i guess i'm going to have to put the reefbrite up for sale maybe???? LOL

You need 48" bars correct???? I would go with 24 xpe royal blues on a single bar with 2 drivers or run a single in parallel if ya want but some say it's risky.. zero optics and either make a heat sink like I did or check with bill if he don't have the 2" strips yet that other place does..

Bro, I got optics if you need. I'm not using mine and you can have them if you'd like.

THANKS GUYS. i'll check with bill.
