get it. It is superb for the price. Just one week of perfect adjustments and no more fidgeting with the tank, it was half full and smelled so bad I wanted to throw up. I don't smell things that well either, so it hit me like a bag of bricks.

personally i would get 2 for a 75, i have 1 on my 29 and it has been working great.

[Fish_Freek]

I think i'll go with (2) of them.

ihigh, i see you went with a D120 with 32b-4v-19w setup. After the breakin peroid, is the light still too blue? I was thinking of possably going with a 26b-4v-25w after seeing your pics.

AWESOME! I've been looking for a skimmer for my 120 gallon conversion, and was about to pay the premium for a good Reef Octopus. If the quality is as good as these chinese lights have been, I'm all over it.

Thanks very much for the link.

[mlott132]

Has anyone picked up one of these yet? I was thinking of using two for my 75 gallon.

Just wondering how they are working out with your corals? I like the fact that they come with a built-in timer and automatic dimmer. I am open to other suggestions if there is something better with the same options. I was going to save my money and get a set or Radions, but if these are somewhat comparable maybe I will go this route instead.

Something bothers me about this light. Did they quote the same price for Bridgelux vs Cree? Aside from the weird timer, something is shady about it to me. Would love to hear about it if someone picked it up.

Unless you really want the auto dimming, there's a 40 led Cree XPG/XPE for $230ish.

That light actually seems pretty awesome, if the shipping price isn't too high. It's a d120 with optics, multi colors of leds, and a built in controller.

If it uses 0-10v dimming analog drivers, I may order one and connect it to my Apex.

[mlott132]

Will this light work to grow all types of corals? Has anyone had trouble ordering through alibaba? Might see if I google the part number if it comes up on other sites.

Yes. It can't get a straight answer if the led are bridgelux, cree, or a combination.

Here's mine. We did a group order here in KC a little over a month ago. I have two over my 5ft 150G. I went with the 90degree Optics and dimmable. I made my own hanging kit for them out of metal and a few welds. I've been very pleased with them so far. We ordered from Sam. I'd highly recommend him.

[Zoanut]

Can we get a FTS with them thanks?

I'm talking to simon now about these lights. I've asked twice on this thread what combo looks best as I don't know much about all tha but gotten no reply but I must say the light looks great.


blue460nm:white14000k: moonlight460nm=37:15:3

2> blue460nm:white14000k: moonlight460nm=27:25:3

Ask, and you shall receive.

[bhazard451]

Yeah, that looks pretty sweet GP.

I also talked with Simon, and I must say I think I found a new light to look into. I dont like that the violet is 400nm and not 420, but whatever.

"1> we have no 420nm spectrum, I suggest 400nm, so blue460nm:white14000k:red630nm:green515nmrange610nm:violet400nm=34:15:1:2:2:1, is this OK?

2> 60 degree optics.

2> The unit price for 1~9pcs samples: 189USD/pcs, if over 10pcs, we will give you some discount.

4> Shipping cost of 1pcs: 59USD, shipped by DHL, door to door service, if you buy 4pcs, the shipping cost will be much lower.

5> our driver is 0~10v dimmable."

Bridgelux d120 55x3 with sunrise/sunset lcd.. and 0-10v dimmable drivers that I could disconnect from the lcd and run to my Apex if I wanted? For $249, with optics? I think I'm sold. I may order this to try it.

[bhazard451]

Here is my progress so far on my Cree XT-E / Luxeon Nova A4. This thing is going to be a 180 watt beast when I'm done with it.

Glad someone posted the link didn't want to derail this thread. Wasn't sure if it was proper :-).

On a side note do the D120's have moonlights.. I figure they couldn't be on seperate timer due to only two cords but was wondering what guys with them are doing. Maybe just manually dialing down the blues to lowest level for viewing. Prob just gonna have to leave the stick on ones I have in use now for automated. Jeez I'm gettin antsy over here waiting for this thing. I'm almost ready to order three more for my 150 build. But waiting to put it up till we buy a house in the close future. It's funny every house we look at I instantly know where the peninsula will go. And don't like the house if there is not a good spot LOL. Wife is actually looking forward to the big tank going up too. By that time I'm guessing there will be a lot more choices out as for controls and whatnot. These things are advancing so rapidly that I'm guessing in 6 months there will be ones with controlability like AI' and Ecotech. Wishful thinking. Anyways sorry for the rant. Still want to know about the moonlights ha ha.

Not all of the models have moonlights. The d120 from the Gehl company on aliexpress has moonlights, and this lcd d120 from twilight group supposedly has them too.

The light is too bright still when blue is dimmed all the way down on the d120 to use as a moonlight. Separate is best.

BHAZZARD.. OPPS SORRY FOR caps.. i to have been talking with twilight.. they say they do not know if works with apex. i asked for some internal pics.. they have a ton of other led fixtures.. one of them is a cree..if you search cree when on their site it comes up. note when looking at their site.. they have some led fixtures with simple built in timmers.. others have times and dimmers by lcd so.. in other words some fixutres you can set up to do sunrise and sunset.. you set the time and the percentage at time.. so 10% at 7 am..100 percent noon to peak then down again.. same as apex.. so my thoughts are.. the smart ones out there will figure how to connect to apex..

They don't need to know. They told me it uses 0-10v dimming drivers. If that is true, and the drivers have a DIM+ and DIM- wire connected to the lcd to control dimming via analog, it will work with the Apex. The LCD would no longer function for lighting control however, as you would need to run those wires to the Apex instead of the LCD.
