上图显示了一个8英尺长,3英尺深的礁石坦克仅由48瓦的纯正阳性LED良好照亮Reef Brite开始运输的条纹。几天前,我很高兴摸索着其中的一些活化的LED条纹灯,即使在一些相当深的礁石坦克上放置了偶然的放置,看到这些灯绝对吹走了标准的Vho Actinic 03灯,这真是令人印象深刻。不仅如此,在另一个深礁坦克的珊瑚上,激活的LED补充是非常明显的,而成千上万的卤化物则亮着。We’ve been keeping an eye on this new product and it’s one thing to see them at the reef events, either standalone or placed on some of the short lived reef aquaria but to see these lamps in action over real reef tanks and having a strong fluorescent effect while competing with 400 watt radium halides was something else. Over the weekend I’ll be installing 200 watts of the actinic LED strip lights from Reef Brite over a 1200 reef tank and I look forward to seeing how the whole tank looks once the lights are in place and competing with 5000 watts of halide light. Follow the break for a comparison shot of what a war coral looks like at three feet deep with and without the LED actinics fired up.
Update:这是战争珊瑚的动画gif,有和没有光化的LED光线穿过三英尺的水。
照片都是用白平衡,was adjusted prior to turning on the LEDs. The first image is without the LEDs and the second image is with the LEDs on, again at 3 feet down in the tank. However subtle the differences in the images may appear, I feared that the LED Actinics would be drowned out by the many halide lamps but that simply was not the case.
