RapidLED

Found a light on RC that seems to be a really good deal.

Can anyone see why this wouldn't be a good deal? I have been in contact with him for about a week now and I believe he has walked me through how to wire the unit and such.

I was looking at this light as I would like to be able to be able to mimic sunrise/sunset, as well as, adjust each color individually.

Other than the 9 additional LED's, I don't see any other cost to get them running.

"I have a kit I just broke down. It was purchased at Christmas time in 2013, and was used for 3 months and then I moved. It is time to move on, being I now have a 180 gallon tank. It comes with all the meanwell drivers for the whites, blues, and green red and uv leds. It also has the heatsink, fans, and splash guard. Also I have 4 moonlights with the driver to control them as well. I do not have the hanging kit, it was lost in the move. If your interested in this, I can take photos of everything included. You would also need wire...

I paid 600 for it and if I could get 250, I would be thrilled. Just need this gone so I can move on to better things. Thanks and take care fellas..

p.s. I also have the 90 degree lenses and the screws to put the leds on the heatsink. I can include thermal paste as well that I just purchased, artic silver. If I had to do it all over again, I would have never used any screws..

I keep forgetting things lol. it comes with a pwn controller as well to control the leds. also the fan has a speed control included as well.

these are dimmable

Here are pics of the stuff for sale.

I have 18 whites, 11 blues, 6 uv, 2 green, and 2 red. also have 5 drivers total, the kit only comes with 4 but I wanted more control over the colors. Stealth fans with speed control and splash guards.

will need 9 blue leds to complete the kit"

3w

yah it would be worth it for $150 shipped. Worst case is you just use it as an overkill sump light

LOL - A $150 sump light is not in the budget.

Rapid LED is very good IMO. The fixture I'm currently using is very very similar to that one. I have a custom built LED from them and love it. I have it cranked down to about 50% or so because it's so bright. The only negative I have to say about it is the number of outlets it takes up as each driver and such needs its own plug.

Now why can'ti find deals like this?!

Not true. I have wired several Meanwell drivers to a single power cord in the past. I don't think I have ever done more than 3 to a single plug, but that is still WAY better than a plug for every driver.
