Reef radiance dm155e led pendant. Need to increase light spread.. how?

miserkris · 04/03/2014, 09:36 PM

Currently the light is coming straight down from my two pendants for my 75g.

Is it easy to remove the optics In the dm155e for a 120 degree spread ?... has anyone done it?

Pls advice. ... thanks.

I'm not sure how easy it is but in the evergrow it2040 it was a simple process. Good luck

Rick (I think that's his name at RR) is a cool guy and will get back with you, I would just shoot him an e-mail or something from his website and see what he has to say.

Wonder if I get the 120s (optics) from eBay. .. that would it fit the dm155e ?about to buy this soon. What do u think? I need 84 pieces for 2 pendants as per reef radiance new version for dm155e. http://m.ebay.com/it...Id=151275948992

Would love to just replace the perimeter and color ones except blue and white, with 120s. Thanks

Not sure if you solved your problem miserkris but I just removed my optics from my dm155 it was fairly simple except for the fact that they were glued in instead of twist off like my reef breeders fixture. They easily popped off with a little pursuation of a butter knife. No damage. And the spread is sooo much better over my 40 b. Coincidentally I have 110 pieces if 120 and 90 opticsbuf your intetested

Dang ... just bought that eBay one. If that doesn't work. I'll contact u.
Actually mine is last year's dm155e. ... wasn't glued just turned a bit and spread is great without optics but dull.

Yea I have the 2014...mine seems pretty good ..much better

miserkris · 05/30/2014, 04:31 PM

Why didn't u use the 120s? Would've got spread and brightness

leebauer · 05/31/2014, 07:40 PM

On the 2014 models the outer row and colors only have 120s. Would of had to order it that way, and this fixture was originally bought for a 37 cube. Pretty impressed with the difference. Of course its difficult to get the true look through the picture
