State of the art Led's

Recommended Posts

Hi All ,

Wasn't sure what section to post this in , please move if needed

Not for Aquarium use but awesome lights I thought people might like to see

These are remote controlled , motion sensored , wireless LED lights

Don't have the spec sheet with me , these are going to be installed at work across 5 warehouses in the morning

We have bought 100 units which will replace 250 high bay lights ( will save the company $160000 a year in power bill )

Old lights are on 24/7 365 days a year x 250 high bays = lots of money

That certainly looks like a extreme unit .... Space for a tank a work then ? LOL

The motion sensor stuff is quite cool, you can use CBUS (and similar) modules to any lights to give it motion control.

You should look into daylight harvesting, it basically measures the ambient light and turns banks of LED's on or off to maintain the right illuminance levels. Clever way to have consistant light levels whilst saving electricity.

I'm a little worried about the output of these. There doesn't seem to be any sizable heatsink on the back which would lead me to believe the output isn't going to be huge. To give you a comparison the heatsink on a 10W LED we manufacture is about the same depth (judging by the photos).

Would be interested to know more about the lm/w and photometric details on these.

The 4ft gold fish tank they had in the waiting room was always green ' date=' they got rid of it when I started working for them

The motion sensor is built into the light , there was a whole heap of wifi and other computer gear that came with it There is a guy coming Saturday night to set all the levels and hook up the pc , I will have a chat to him All I have been able to find out so far is each light on full is 150watts and when no motion for 10 minutes they drop down to 30watts They don't appear to have much if any heat sink ?

I think you would just end up with cooked shrimp and lots of algae , they are super bright if you stand under one a look up it blinds you like looking into the sun Hard to get a good photo , the one on the left and middle are up full , the one on the right at 20%Tried to get a shot closer but it's just a blur image_zps12767330.jpg

      Good luck.  I hope the Ph / KH issue is under control.  If not... Maybe use peat? Edit:  looking at a previous picture - maybe you should just remove those rocks for now

      My lil emerald green. It's a lot harder taking macro shots with 15mm glass tanks.

      Here is a photo of the floating plant (Azolla). Looks great! I am probably tempting fate by even mentioning this but the first shrimp arrived yesterday and went into the tank today, fingers crossed.............. Pandas and shadow Pandas, I ordered blue bolts and shadow pandas so I may be getting the blue bolts next week free as it was the sellers (ebay) error, but at this stage it is one day at a time - will these survive even. Keep your fingers crossed for me please! I have to say I am enjoying seeing them in the tank even though black isn't the easiest to see in my tank as the background is black? The parameters are a bit off, GH 7 the main one thats off, but hopefully the 24 hours slow drip will have paid off and the parameters of the sellers tanks were generally close to mine, hence I got them from them for that reason. I guess it will be a 'black and blue' tank as there is no-one selling red ones at the moment, but blue bolts are my favourite and as long as they survive, well thats a bonus on the last attempt anyway so I'll take that as a win! Maybe sometime further down the line I may get back to what I had before??? Not rushing anything this time.

      Time for another update! The PH this morning is 6 and KH 0-1 (you can't measure zero obviously). I plan to check everything tomorrow and then a water change on satuday. At the moment the TDS is 190 which should drop to 170 after a water change and then 150ish after the following/next weeks water change. Last time I checked GH it was 6, but again I will do ALL the tests tomorrow. I had to resort to using a PH/KH- product (AQUACID) to get to where these parameters are now but as the water I use has PH6, GH0 and KH0 I assume/hope I won't need to use that from here on, but will see if the parameters stay stable for the next week and have a PH alert disc in the tank which should indicate any significant change. I don't like using these sort of products as a general rule and wouldn't if there were any shrimps in situ and that product has raised the TDS at about .5TDS per drop. I may well order some blue bolts towards the end of next week (the road to the house will be closed for a month from 3rd June so it is next week or wait another 6 weeks) and see how that goes. I plan to drip acclimate them overnight this time so as to not rush that as it shouldn't get cold indoors overnight anyway this time of year. This all depends on the tank parameters staying stable for the next week (aside from the mentioned TDS adjustments with the water changes), though the GH  may drop a tiny bit with using just RO to reduce the TDS but that is fine, and even could be a bonus. I did manage to find some nice floating plant that I had before (good old ebay), and will try and get a photo of that at some point to attach, Azolla red I think it is called? Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed for now but all appears to be going well at this point! Snails seem to be doing well at least.

      That shrimp itself survived the molt just fine, but left about half dozen eggs still in the shell. I haven't measured KH in a really long time, but assume it is zero since I don't have any rocks besides a few small pieces of lava rock.  Maybe you have unwanted rocks in your tank?  My tank is the "long" style which I really like because I have a HMF on one end, and a pump outlet spout that shoots water all the way to the other end.  I have no idea how many shimp it can support because I don't really understand waste management in a tank.  Shrimp poop eventually turns into mulm, but then what?
