Lime LEDs - Page 2

crn005 · 08/04/2014, 05:27 PM

I got mine in last week and popped them in on Friday. Anyway, I'm a big fan of them. I am running four limes and four neutral whites on the same string. Honestly, I'm going to put a couple more in and take the neutral whites down to just two. When I turned that channel on first, I saw a bright yellowish green glow on the wall behind the tank. Once the blues turned on, it turned into a nice, crispy white. It took the purplish hue out of my lights and gave a much more natural color to the tank. I'm excited to see where the industry goes with these lights. I'm looking at you, Borealis Luxeon Z. Get some optics and I'm buying!

Just saw that thing the other day.. Why did they group the LED colors like that? totally silly IMO.. I'd bet you easily see the color separation on the sandbed with that.

Eh, I doubt it. The whole puck is 2.5" x 1.75". Those babies are jammed in tight. Even the radion puck's are 3" x 2 7/8". Just the grid alone on radion pucks is 3" x 2".

Glad they are working well for you! What brand of whites are/were you running?

I do believe they are the CREE XP-G 5W. I got them as a part of a kit from rapidled last year but I don't think they use those in their kits anymore.
