Ordered my lights...

[KhensuRa]

So I ended up ordering lights from China even after they jacked up the our last group buy. Lets see how long it takes to get here and if it is right. Went with a different light this time. It is still 120w, but instead of the 1watt LED's this one has 2watt LED's.

Here is the link to the one I ordered.

Oh nice let me know how those work when you get them I'm thinking about lights for my new tank!!

LMK also and how much they run!

I'm still trying to figure out what to get

 

[KhensuRa]

Was a huge pain in the *** finding something. The price of the 120w's are going fast as they are really popular right now.

Well I got my lights today....

So ummmmm....

yeah you got 165w ..i think?
but its 14k instead of 20k .....sell it and order some evolutions

btw ...do they make 2w leds?

 

[KhensuRa]

I am thinking they miss labeled it, as it looks as brite as all the other 120w-ers I have seen.

One nice thing I noticed that is better with this unit is there is no delay when you turn the lights on like the 1 watt units. Going to keep it as I have waited for over three months. I almost want to take it over to Gabes and do a comparison.

My Strips shipped and should be here I'm a few days. Hope they aren't messed lol. Glad yours work for you.

Don't think so. I think what they meant was 3w LEDs running at a lower 2 watt. That's the new thing to do lol. I'm guessing it was just messed up in translation.

While I was looking for my LEDs I saw one company starting to use 5w LEDs.

Here is a picture of the unit. After thinking about it and seeing 3watt units, I think these are 2watt leds. What do you guys think?
[attachment=59901:name]

I think 3 watt leds are much larger then these ones. These look to be about the same size as the one watt led's.

Also if I am not mistaken the new evolution leds are going to be just like these units (Special made of course). hehe
