Solaris LED and seagrass
 

It would be valuable to get the model number of the LED device used.
This would allow to get my hands on the datasheet for the device
and learn more about the light output, color spectrum, life in hours etc.

Can you be kind and provide here only model numbers of LED components
used before writing the whole article?

Thanks.

All of the data you guys see on these lights is true. I know that for fact. Soon Sanjay
will be coming out with an article on these lights, PAR and SED plots, etc.. That is all I
can say for now :-)

A good friend of mine is an electrical lighting engineer, who designs such a lighting
systems, who has built his own with similar results and comments. I have his unpublished
very, very, technical article explain it all, which may appear in one of our on-line reef
magazines; the array, type of LED's circuit designs, power supplies, outputs, cost, etc.

Solairs has been working on this lighting system for 2 years. I have had phone
conversations with the owner. TRA III has some discussions on advanced lighting system in
the works and reef lighting systems of the future, to include LED's. LED's are the future
of reef lighting.

I will say no more than this and that is it .

Look into Osram Golden Dragonwhite and blue LED's.

I thought so... :-) I read about them recently
in the monthly magazine of our distributor... :-)

And with the LED technology that is coming out of the rear projection
HDTV arena,
with the need for an alternative to current High Pressure Lamps, having
to deal with
the heat and the associated noise from cooling the unit, plus having to
shell out several
hundred dollars every so often to replace the HP Lamps. I wouldn't be
surprised if
manufacturing costs of High Output LEDs will drop drastically within a
reasonable time frame.
There are now HDTVs coming out with LEDs used for the backlighting.

OK you are on a roll Pszemol :-).

The one my friend did was to replace 2- 250W MH & 2 VHO== $5,000.00 estimated

Yah, Dragon's have pretty much changed the LED world from what it was. The real issue is
can we get 5 W LED's to work without all the flippin' heat. A hobby of mine is collecting
high tech flashlights. Some have 1 or 2- 5W and heat is a big issue. When I asked a guy to
mod one of my 2-D cell with 3-5 W, he said no way, things will melt, body needs to be
longer to dissipate heat. It has 2-5watt. and now runs on 2- AA D-cylinders packs ( 3 AA
/ D-pack or 6 AA). It will blind you lol

I am not going to buy/build one - I was just interested in verifying claims
about them being cooler and - which is connected - more efficient...
Also, I wanted to check what is the white color spectrum transmitted from the LED.

And this heat makes me worry that the manufacturer claim might be incorrect.

These guys do much better than golden dragon:

47 lumens per watt, 57 lumens typical output
compared to 23 lumens typical "golden dragon" output.
