Par38 led lamps

[chromiumlux]

Well, I figured I would order a couple of these and test them out over one of the tanks.

I will post pics when they come in. Looks like a great little led spot lamp.
I picked up a 12k and a 20k both with 60 degree lenses.

nice, those things look cool. did you figure out what fixture you are going with?

[chromiumlux]

No. not yet. I am going to look for a couple of the long flexible type that dont have a sheild/can to use. What makes thes neat is they use good old edison 26/27 sockets.

Those do look nice. What a great idea

[marinelife]

Those are nice I can not wait to see them.

This is the 20k par38. not the best pics. First pic is about 3-4 feet from wall. Second pic is about 10 feet from wall.

[marinelife]

Very nice!!
I will have to look into a few of these after testing is done.

This is the 12k par38. First pic is with lamp held over my head as far as I can reach. Second pic speaks for itself. Third pic is roughly 10 feet from wall. Fourth pic is about 2 feet from wall.
All pics were taken with lights off and pitch black room.

That is just going to burn some corals!!

[chromiumlux]

Naw, It's gonna grow some corals....hehehe

[chromiumlux]

When I ordered these lamps, I specified 60 degree lenses. Nice spread of light. I will post up pics of both lamps over the 14g for color comparisons and height over tank.

With the rock you bought at Reef Systems & that lighting, this tank is going to look amazing. I can't wait to see it up and running with corals & fish!

[jeremyreef]

cant wait for the pics of them in action (on tank)!

These shots are with both Par38 lamps 12k and 20k hanging about 36" from top of tank. Not real great pics. Will get better ones as I lower the lamps.

[marinelife]

Very nice!

[chromiumlux]

whats funny is although you get glitter lines, they project on the cieling not the floor

[jeremyreef]

sweet!!! :poster_kewlpics: i like it! is the 14k on the left?

[chromiumlux]

12k and 20k both center. 20k in rear pointed to left, 12k in front pointe straight down

[marinelife]

Ok so Andy let me borrow these to test over my braces, the 20k is not bright enough, the 12k seems ok but I think for the price I could get the stronger Cree LEDs and make something. I will post pictures later.

[TechGuy40]

Yeah I finally got to see these today. Very cool.

[marinelife]

I have the 12k Running with my LEDs and I see less of a shadow but it is to white, I am switching to the 20k and will post pictures soon.

[marinelife]

20K light
first two are just with the 20k on, none of mine are on.

[marinelife]

12K led,

Reading with a Lux meter
58500 above the brace, 37500 right under the brace, 6700 on top of the rock.
The brace is causing to much loss in light.

Braces are sissies... I say cut 'em out; however, don't expect me to help you clean anything up :)

[marinelife]

:lol:
