Loooks like they have dual dimmable switches and have twice as many LED's. Nice!

Check back on Monday evening for more updated pics under the new Finnex LEDs. :wink:

I'll be looking forward to it.

got my Finnex LED bars today and got them installed. These LEDs are really bright. It's a lot brighter than my Icecap LEDs. I didn't have time to take individual shots of my corals and just took a pic of the overall tank shot with just two LED bars on.

 

[Blackhawk Fan]

Looks like they are pretty darn bright.

 

[twinspots_goby]

I think one bar can light up a 24"x24 frag tank with no problem.

 

[Blackhawk Fan]

How about a 30x30 tank for actinics if I mounted it to the front angled slightly to the back?

Most of my corals are in the front 2/3 any ways.

 

[twinspots_goby]

it's definitely possible. but two will be much better. One more thing I forgot to share. Even with my T5s on, The LED lights are still visible. That's how bright they are.

a shot of my frag tank under two 48" Icecap LED tubes.

 

[Blackhawk Fan]

How does the dimmable function work? Have you messed with it?

 

[twinspots_goby]

a shot of my frag tank under two 48" Icecap LED tubes is the first and a shot of my frag tank under Finnex LEDs in the second. Note that the Finnex LED bar is only 24" long whereas the Icecap LED tube is 48".

 

[Blackhawk Fan]

Those LED's are pretty impressive. Great comparison shots!

It's not a true dimmable switch. It's a 3 stage switch in order of 50%, off and 100%.

Bah, they should say that. Not that important to me though.

I like how they make your corals look.

 

[twinspots_goby]

I didn't really care aobut the dimmable feature. probably running full potential all the time.

 

[Blackhawk Fan]

You talked me into one. I'm having my buddy order it tonight. :tongue:

If I need another I'll get another later.

sweeeet!!!

you will see why i keep saying that everyone should use powerful leds to enjoy the full potential of their corals! :nerd:

you guys might want to watch carefully - i'll bet the 50% power would be best for regular use on lps.

Why do you think the 50% power will be better?
