The ASM light has a different operation for the color nob as it is either all blue or all white and blue since it doesn't have any red or green led
What I will do is order a spectralx controller today and retest as to make sure we have not made a mistake. As for "fairness" I have done everything to make sure things are equal given the equipment I had.
1x Citizen CLU028 4000k, 97 CRI neutral white (https://www.digikey.com/short/qt0pp1)
1x Luxeon K16 royal blue (equivalent to 4x luxeon M, or 16x Luxeon ES!) (find these on fleaBay, and AliExpress, usually run from $4-6 each, common pricing is 5 for $20 shipped)
4x Luxeon Rebel ES true cool blue (470-480nm)
2x Luxeon Rebel ES cyan (one each from rapidLED, one from Steve's, not that it makes much difference)
2x SemiLEDs Hyper violet 3.0 (U70 bin, 415-425nm)
1x Luxeon Rebel lime
Royal blue- 61.6w (700mA, 44v, x2 strings)
White- 22.8w (300mA, 38v, x2 strings)
Blue- 18.3w (700mA, 13.08v, x2 strings)
Cyan- 8.1w (700mA, 11.6v)
Violet- 5.2w (700mA, 14.8v)
Lime- 3.78w (700mA, 5.4v)
Luxeon K16, Citizen CLU028, next to a Luxeon Lime on a standard star for comparison (ignore the funky mounting on the white square, that was just for temporary testing) -
Full loadout on a 20" RapidLED heatsink-
Those K16 Royal Blues are no joke ;Wideyed
I was going for a "full spectrum" build that would be adjustable for as much as possible. Project stalled when we moved and never set up the larger tank. It's far too powerful for a 20 long with LPS, and the clusters aren't spaced well for it (it was intended to go over a 40 Breeder or similar)
Maybe I'll finish the drivers and controller wiring and have it ready to go for when the time comes, just need a big enough 48 volt power supply, I have all the drivers already. It would be interesting to see how it compared to commercial offerings in the same power range
Seems like 2 or 3 of the pendents would work great on a 4 foot tank.I haven't tried to sell any of these test lights yet. I am going to have to sell some soon as to have money for more products to test.
Very surprised at what these lights can do.
They sure do
You can buy them here even tho it is business to business as they will sell to you directly:

To answer your question yes we will do a mod and test again. I look forward to it.
Yes but shipping is not cheap around 65-75$ for a couple of lights. Just remember this when ordering any thing from China.
That is how I am looking at it. The K7 to me is the big 3 killer and this little pendent is perfect for those nano tanks that want big bang on a small tank(even tho it will work on other size tanks)
Guy's what I really need to do is sell some of the doubles of these lights off so we can get more. I bought 2 of everything when I began this study for the redundancy in case something failed.
Four lights we need to test:

The Lumini Pixie 150 I have 2 of these so no need in having to buy them.
I am asking if they will send us a ASML-o3 for testing. I would like to see how much area the light can handle.
you really should start a fundme page or some sort of donation fund for this project. I feel a lot of us would toss in 10 or 20 for the good info. this is something the hobby needs. so much expensive stuff out there. but I feel there is a need to show a cheaper way for people to get into things more comfortably.
I am not sure how to go about that really, and I am terrified to take money for anything as I don't want the study to owe anyone. I really want to expose as many lights as we can by selling studied lights and then buying new lights to test.
Yes that is correct
I think that would be the best way but we need to see about forum rules about buying and selling. I need to hear some more ideas as the best way to sell them.
