Viparspectra 165w. Has the lenses removed (included) and array modified. Comes extra white, red, green, and blue diodes to modify the spectrum as wanted. Has also had eye bolts added to use with a conduit mount. $70 plus shipping. Conduit included if it is picked up locally.

They just pop on and off the diodes. It removes shadowing and increases the spread.
 
A decent amount of people have done it which is where I got the idea.
 
Sorry I know this is a marketplace post but I have this light and been running it for 2 months now. I have seen posts about either removing or replacing the lenses with wide lenses. Did you see a difference in growth and was it hard to remove?
 
I removed them because this tank was full of SPS for over a year and I needed more coverage on the edges. I had great growth. Removing the lenses is easy. Changing diodes requires removing the originals and soldering in new ones.

well thank you for the explanation, I might try removing the side lenses to increase the coverage and leave the middle ones alone. Thank you again and good luck
 
Price drop. $65. I will put the lenses back on before shipping as well.
 
Good Luck with sale, I run these on my SPS dominate tank, My Acro's grow amazing under them.
 
Des Moines currently, but moving to Coralville the second week of January.
 
Tell us about the mods you did to the lights. Just bought 3 of these and was considering replacing a few diodes for more blue and purple
