Reefi Uno Par Readings

[11f150]

Testing out my (3) Reefi Uno lights on my 48x24x22 tank. These readings are using the sps setting with added lime. Max wattage for each Uno is 180 watts, these 2 pictures are at 70 watts and 151 watts.


70 watts

151 watts

Very impressed with these lights.

i love those lights

Looks awesome I was really wanting these lights but too costly right now!

70w and 150w each or total?
I assume each.

Unless you want that center hot spot you could move the end lights more toward the ends of the tank.

Ya, I was about to pull the trigger on a new one yesterday. just before i checked out the store called me and told me they had the incorrect price.

The increase plus shipping brought it to be more expensive then going local for a ecotech or AI equivalent with mount.

I'm showing $399 each for a Uno on their website, which is $100 less than a XR15. What price did they tell you?

They aren't cheap but the Radion XR15 G5 is 100 watts to where these are 180 watts. They also come with a 3 year warranty to Radion's 1 year.

yes 400 per light I went with a Chinese led for 120 per light , I would never use eco tech products

449 but that includes shipping, but I'm in Canada so when I convert and cost in the duties and taxes it comes to over $600 without mount.

Ultimately it's the shipping and duties and taxes that ruin the deal for me I'm a unique case since I'm I'm Canada.

This is from a store in Seattle not reefi since reefi direct is out of stock.

How far are those from the water surface in inches?

What brackets are those?

I'm with oreo........you can spread those out a little more. It will also give you more fill to the edges of the tank for a more uniform visual look.

That picture that I used was with the lights only at maybe 10%. There’s no issue with the spread with them at normal power. But another reason they are like that is this is a eurobraced tank and also has an acrylic lid that also adds another 2.5” or so. Here’s a pic to better understand.

It's your tank, do what you want.

Do you mind answering the questions? I've got a Reefi duo I'm testing out so I'm curious how far your fixtures are from the water surface. I've done some par testing already at certain levels with an Apogee 520.

Also, who makes those brackets?

I will measure this afternoon when I get home and I’ll get back to you. For the mounts I’m just using the 2040 wall mounts that’s on ReeFi’s website.

I like these lights as far as design, but they’re far too blue for me, even on the whitest possible spectrum I got one to try it out, but ended up using a Volx Japan grassyCore

I can agree that if you don’t adjust the presets they are very blue. With turning up the lime channel it makes them perfect in my opinion.

I actually find them to be very blue at first, but pumping the lime channel has been great for my eyes. Also adds a very distinct shimmer, like a kessil or metal halide.

The lime channel makes a huge difference!

Can I ask what your schedule looks like on them?
