Found the link. It'll cost me $380.07 for that dimmable one from Twilight cause it looks like they will charge me $124.57 for shipping

Are you talking about this light? If you want to customize, you need to email them, and they create a link for you.

On first look I noted

body material IRON

Does anyone know how fast Iron rusts when and corrodes when it is subject to a salt water based humidity? I would not consider a fixture that was not made of allumnium and or Plastic

I'd have to double check when I get it. The 2 fixtures I got so far are both aluminum.

mlott132 · 07/10/2012, 12:38 PM

bhazard451, did you add the other colors to broaden the color spectrum of the light and give it a more natural look? DId you put the colors on the white dimmer and keep the blues and moonlights on their own for a total of three dimmers?

Dapg8gt · 07/10/2012, 12:44 PM

Got shipped notification for aliexpress today on my D120. So from what I've read you all recieve them in 3-5 days after it leaves china. Thanks. Skimmer getting here tomorrow and light to follow. Thinking of making a hanging bracket out of PVC frame and paint to match other than hanging from ceiling. My ceiling in garage is 13' high. Anybody else doing this or do most hang from canopy/ceiling. It's going over a 24 cube.

biecacka · 07/10/2012, 01:09 PM

Bhazard when do you expect to have yours. I'm curious if they are iron too, I'm gonna ask Sam.

bhazard451 · 07/10/2012, 01:12 PM

I'm about to blow up a companies spot, and I don't care.

Have any of you seen the "US made" Apollo Reef Led Solarbrite fixtures being sold for $399 that are Apex controllable? Apparently, Twilight Group makes those too, and sold them for $167 a fixture in bulk to Apollo Reef Led. Want Proof?

http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/107126704.html

It looks like they can make an Apex Dimmable d120 for everyone for under $250.

yep.. there's the port on the right in the display pic.. on other pics covered by thumb.. there is alos a review of this us fixture somewhere here..

darimont · 07/10/2012, 01:29 PM

Ok Guy's,
Getting ready to buy from Sam and am looking at this one:
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/prod...544640134.html

What do you think. I think I've read too much and my brain is fried as if it wasn't already. Trying to decide between this one or just the 1:1. I'm going to just try 2 first and if I like them I'll get two more as the tank is 6 foot with only one center brace which i think would not work out great with just 3.

Dobbs1101 · 07/10/2012, 01:44 PM

Interesting, now this might be something to go for. I've been reading posts for weeks and I think I found a nice light. Dimmable, Programmable, 1 power cord.

What do you think?

That's a 2:1 ratio, might be way on the blue side.

Dobbs1101 · 07/10/2012, 01:58 PM

you can order with 1:1 also if I'm not mistaken.

Chicago · 07/10/2012, 02:01 PM

made by same company.. i believe that does have an lcd but only controlls on off not dimming..

Nope. It does sunrise and sunset like the rest. Looks like you save a lot of money not using colored leds.

No moonlights on that though, but if you don't need them, that's a hell of a price for a unit with an LCD controller.

I saw that one too and thought it looked good. My only reservation was what if the controller goes out your screwed. That's a helleva price for those features. I was just gun shy and went standard D120. I actually have that one saved in my phone. It was a tough decision I just pussed out LOL.

Fish_Freek · 07/10/2012, 02:57 PM

Anyone have a combo like this, 32blue-19white-4violet ? I like more blue but afraid this may be too over powering. Thinking of ordering two of these D120's for my 75 gal.
Any opinions?

Some units look like they have both the knobs and controller.

Wow, what a price.

Chicago · 07/10/2012, 03:47 PM

Yep. Does have sunrise sunset. But that is a different LCD than other unit. Also teo channel no moonlight. And looks like no optics.

mdodso00 · 07/10/2012, 03:57 PM

So for a Standard 29g tank would anyone suggest going with 90* Optic Lens or just the 120*? thanks

You'd think I would know a little more from looking on every page of this thread but about halfway thru I was just looking for pics.

I am impressed with the build of this unit.
I like the 3 dimmers & moonlight feature.
The reds & greens shimmer nicely...but it has a little splotchy look on the rocks at full power ( but I do not run them @ full power anyway. So to be honest ,it's no big deal. I have been trying to take pics...But my camera only pulls the blue lights. I will continue to try untill i get a decent pic ,, then post it .

What colors did you use in your light? How did you have them laid out.
