ATI with Stunner Strips

Calireef11 · 09/13/2011, 10:01 PM

If I run a 48" x 10bulb Powermodule with 4 48" White Ecoxotic Stunners will I notice shimmer?

99% chance that you will not see any shimmer. Many have tried to get the shimmer using Stunner strips on a T5 fixture and most have failed.

You need some serious 3w LEDs to punch through the ATI's lighting. A reefbrite strip may be a better choice.
