VERY AFFORDABLE LED FIXTURE

Stumbled a cross this thread on reef central.

I need to add that I'm an american threw & threw but just can't justify spending my hard earned $ on a fixture assembled in America out of Chinese parts. ( radion/Ai)
After reading just about the entire thread and emailing Kevin from LEDZEAL.COM .
I was in.
I ordered the 48inch fixture.
It has 4 groups of 24 leds with a total of 96 3 watt leds.
The manufacturer lets u choose which color leds and either 60/90/ or 120 degree optics.
There r 4 channel per group of 24 and u can fully control each channel so I went with
Ch1- 12000 white
Ch2- royal blue 450nm
Ch3- blue 460nm
Ch4- uv
And went with 60 degree optics on all leds.
Also the communication with China was absolutely amazing.
They responded fast and are very helpfull with making sure u don't forget nething.
Price for 48inch fixture with hanging kit was$485.50.
That includes fedex shipping!!!!!!
So ordered it using Paypal and 4 days later she was here.



Holly **** this thing is bright.Really like the looks of the fixture. A lot of cheap fixtures are bulky and crappy looking to me.
This fixture is rather thin and streamed lined.
The meanwell drivers are outside the fixture in a box with fan so the fixture never really gets hot at all.
All fan are thermally controlled so they only turn on when needed.
Remote control is cool but don't use it to much.
Sunrise/Lightning/Cloud
And DIY modes.

Controller is very easy to use.
Been running for a couple months now and am very very happy.
If there's ever a problem with fixture a guy or gal can fix or change out leds & optics without needing a degree in electrical engineering
Sps are looking great
Lps and zoas love it.
Just figured I'd share my review with everyone.

 

Now for par readings
All takin with pumps off and fixture running at 100% on all led channels.
Fixture mounted 8inches above water.
Just bellow surface of water=900
5inches bellow =700
10inches=525
20inches/sand bed =380

 

Ya u have to email & they will send prices
Prices depend on led color & brand u request. Bridgelux,Cree,Epistar,Epivalley,Epiled
Some use one red and one green per cluster but I added more uv.
Also there is a wireless controller that's extra if u want.
I just removed the plastic splash guard to clean it and snapped a few pics of led clusters.

 

I just went with bridgelux for whites
Korean Epivalley for blues
And I think Epistar for uv.
U can request Crees but they r more $

 

Mine is the s300
48 inch in black.
Here's the price breakdown

Thanx clay
Ya I retired the kessils to the basement with the halides
Just wasn't getting results that I wanted with them. 2 of the 4 a150s seemed to b getting a lot dimmer than others? Warranty was up on em so there's really no fixin em. At least with this fixture I can fix any problems & 100% controlability is sweet too.
