Wow, those things are really comming down in price.
That's what happens with 50 different manufactures and sellers, the cheapest one sellers.

 

[EricTMah]

That's crazy cheap!

I might get a couple sooner than later at that price!

Ya, getting harder to spend $500 replacing my Geismann halides and t-5's when that could buy 5 fixtures and be good for years. I just need to be convinced that they will work as well as the old tech....

 

[EricTMah]

For $100 a piece. You may as well give them a shot and not sell your old set up.

I don't miss the days of replacing my halides and t5's, or the hydro that comes with it!

 

[AdInfinitum]

BTW Brandon, Was this thread something to do with you having a tank with some stuff in it or something?
...lol

sorry about the hijack..

 

[jroovers]

I am part of a zoathid fan page on fb, a guy on there sells them, they are just little sheets you hold up in front of your camera.
This is a fts with 100% royal blue LEDs on....

Looks awesome, colors are poppin'

Im sure he'd taste delicous tho.

 

[Poseidon]

[sunnykita]

how are those china led's holding up and hows the new growth looking i considered them but heard alot of bad things about them from other peoples experiences so i cried and baught the ai sol blue instead

 

[Poseidon]

They are perfectly fine for growth, only thing I'm disliking is the colour when they are on both blue and white, I'm considering adding par 38's to help with the colour, or take out the red and the green lenses on the LEDs to see if that helps the colour

How are you not liking the color when both channels are on? Too blue? Not enough blue? Orange in color?

its hard to describe, i think its just to many colours with the red and green and 2 kinds of whites. its not white enough, but at the same time not blue enough if that makes any sense

what i did last night was take some lenses off, ill post a pic in a sec, i took the lenses off the red, green, and 4 whites, to spread it out more and see if that changes anything... i think it did, but it'll take time to tell if i like the new look better or not

 

[Poseidon]

Here's a pic

I took these things apart , and I must say I'm surprised at the quality and tidiness inside the units.
Simply and clean.

 

[EricTMah]

Nice. Did you take any before and after pics with the lenses off?

Aren't these fixtures dimmable?
