eaglesnest71405 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I got these lights when I bought my 100 gallon tank and they are really bright but I don't know how to tell what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sethsolomon Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Info on the driver? Meanwell? no name? Dimmable? Also post some close up pictures of the LED's without them on. Looks like an old rapid led kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 If you want to spend a few minutes figuring out the light field attached is a .pdf file with PAR charts for CREE LED stars with different lenses and depths and side distances from the LED(s) and a brief explanation on how to calculate the overall light fiield.

eaglesnest71405 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Looks like each light has two ballast 48 x700. For blue 48x1050. For white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesnest71405 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Sits on a 100 g tank with oak stand. Light is raised about 10 inches over water. I'm debating on trying to set this tank up as a reef with these lights or selling this setup. I had it running with no coral and aggressive fish but decided to shut it down as non reef safe and convert to a reef or sell it. I have a 75g reef tank and a 60g reef.

eaglesnest71405 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 They are not dimmable. I'm gonna try to borrow that meter from RCA on Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesnest71405 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Figured I would put up a few pictures. I'm thinking if i keep the tank and not sell it that I might try to find a way to raise the lights a little we will see on Tuesday when I get that meter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
