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

      Very nice shrimp and great photography!

      Thanks, day 2 in the tank and the shrimp seem fine (not done roll call yet today), I saw 9 (got 11) yesterday and no dead bodies  so I 'assume' the other 2 were hiding somewhere. I drip acclimated them over night so they had a longer acclimate and hopefully that helped, but it is early days yet, however so far so good. I am looking forward to getting blue bolts at the end of the week but I doubt they will be as pretty as yours, but at this point I will be happy enough as long as they survive. That will be the lot this time so I am calling this tank 'bruiser tank' as it will only be mixed 'black and blue' shrimps!  I don't have any rocks this time just some small pieces of lava rock. The tests I did yesterday show KH is 0-1 (you can't test for 0 obviously) and PH was 7 on the drop test but the disc meter thing in the tank shows yellow so should be below 7 (the nearest match I think is 6.6) but all the test kits show in stages, and it can be difficult to tell when they are just different shades of the same colour. The seller of the shrimps said his tanks were PH 6.8 so we are at least closely matched. GH should go down slowly with the regular water changes/maintenance etc so hopefully the shrimp can handle it being a little high temporarily, seller had GH 5-6 (I assume 6 drops) and mine is just on 7. I am pleased with the sparser/simpler tank and the fact I can just glance over and see it when I am in my usual seat is great. I have a stick on thermometer so shouldn't have a similar disaster to before and have the heater set cooler at 21 this time, though in summer the tank will go above that most of the time. Hope everything is fine with yours!

      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.
