victoly Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 ...and high school marching contests... <sigh> Oh well, I'm used to it. Solution? It's Halloween time anyway, just plant one of these on the sidelines, tell your students that you are in costume, and that you are watching. Then you are free to attend THE TOP SECRET EVENT.

(Bio)³ Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Video was new age and edgy but lost part of my vote when they still promote led for horticulture. LEDs are great but they dint do horticulture even as good as t8 bulbs. Aquariums though they work nice since they can penetrate water better than foliage canopy.

victoly Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Teaser well done. Left me wanting 2 things: 1) pictures, 2) prices. Not so sure about the promo music.. When the GET OFF MY LAWN crowd hears it, they're gonna tell the buildmyled whippersnappers how it used to be in the old days when we were used sunlight to grow our reef. AND WE WERE HAPPY ABOUT IT. BOTH WAYS, UPHILL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 so, is the cat out of the bag now, can we get an update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 annnnd the website just loaded for me. FULL REPORT INCOMING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Jakedoza Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 cool site... Not sure what I would need for a 6ft tank though.. Not that I'm looking to replace my LED setup.. Just curious.. I do want to add to it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 you could do several 12" fixtures perpendicular to your tank, or maybe 2 12" and a 48". If I'm reading the costs correctly, $269 for a custom LED fixture? Will change the game for sure if they can live up to it. Problems thus far is that the interface is clunky (having some real trouble dropping LEDs on the graphic to customize) and the text is all wonked up on the right nav bar. Doesn't really dampen my excitement though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoly Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Try a different browser.. It seemed to look good in chrome.. i wouldn't use any other browser . For whatever reason, when I drop my LED into the array, it doesn't register. SO i turned on an incognito window (with all extensions/plugins off) and it works fine. Much better .

mFrame Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Yes, the $269 is for the 4 foot fixture. Pricing and build quality look great, can't wait for the tour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClarkiiCircus Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 They're doing a really awesome job! The 2 fixtures they have on the website now are just initial product: I bet if you want a 6ft fixture, they would build it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuildMyLED Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hello everyone. We launched the business on Friday at MACNA, and I had my first child on Monday morning. Needless to say...it has been a long week! Very exciting times I really apologize for the bugs on the Custom Configurator page. I am working with the web development team to identify and remove all of the little bugs in the code. The back-end calculations to the custom LED page are really sophisticated, so we apologize for the bumps in the road. Send me a message if you find anything that looks funny. We are looking forward to hosting everyone at our facility on the 13th, and we are very thankful for your support of our new business. We are very excited about the business model, and I am glad you guys like the concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
