The Angel 1 LED and Angel Pro LED are the first aquarium lights from the nascent Euroquatics aquarium lighting brand. Being backed by Gavita, a large horticulture company based out of Holland, certainly helped Euroquatics leapfrog the entry-level competition to offer a truly compelling LED reef light.
当天使1和1 Pro LED首次宣布时,固定装置的外形,LED安排和一般感觉有点“ Me-Me-Too”。Euro Quatics花了很美好的时光将天使LED推向市场,但他们想恰到好处地推出了首届产品。自今年夏天初以来,我们一直在使用Angel 1和Pro版本的固定装置,整体包装给我们留下了深刻的印象。
回顾一下,Angel 1 LED是欧测量的入门级可控礁石水族馆。它具有五种颜色的LED颜色,分布在相等数量的控制频道上。天使1大约95瓦,凉爽,温暖的白色,两种蓝色加紫外线的阴影,只需399美元。
同时,Angel 1 Pro LED使用相同的住房和占地面积,但具有150瓦的七个LED颜色,散布在七个控制渠道上,价格为499美元。天使LED的最初定价全部高出150美元,但新的激进价格使它们更具竞争力,并且鉴于它们的完整功能颜色和控制力集。
最让我们印象的,首先,这两个天使领导的固定装置是他们精致的工艺。天使LED的固体金属结构是当今市场上最吸引人的LED灯之一。也许是加维塔(Gavita)和园艺照明的分支,有助于引导欧奎拉(Euro Quatics)从金属中建立其LED光。无论如何,是在荷兰制造的,整个灯光的合适和饰面都可以让用户知道他们甚至在电动机上都处理了严重的礁石水族灯。
具有积极的冷却,LED颜色的彩虹和多个色彩控制渠道几乎都是高端LED礁灯的课程。在这方面,EuroQuatics必须赶上主要球员,但他们还投入了一项功能来帮助它脱颖而出。
最完全可控的LED礁灯需要某种配件或至少直接WiFi连接,以实现对固定装置功能的无线控制。像AI Prime和新发布的AI Hydra HyperDrive LED一样,Angel LED具有直接的连接功能,使用户只能通过局部网络控制灯光。
When you first fire up the Angel LEDs, you will have to connect directly to their onboard wireless network. But a few simple presses of the only button on the fixture, and the WPS button of most new wifi routers, and you’re ready to control and fine tune and program the multiple channels of color control of your Angel 1 and Angel 1 Pro LEDs.
天使LED最好的部分之一是,如果您对无线网络不那么精明,则可以继续从欧洲标语应用程序直接启用灯光的基本编程。预设程序在那里,如果您不确定如何以及如何设置某些常见的颜色组合,可以握住您的手。更好的是,应用程序中的一些预编程的“情绪”也可以启用特殊的颜色功能,这些功能受用户启动情绪程序之一时设置的计时器限制的特殊颜色功能。
最初,我们对天使LED的简单“象限”布局并不留下了深刻的印象。与其他制造商相比,自定义的圆形LED簇群体LED的集群感觉有些“现成”。但是,当灯照亮合适的礁石箱时,天使灯的LED布局的视觉差异完全消失了。
We’ve been using both lights, side by side, over one half of a very large 500 gallon reef tank at Unique Corals. We’ve found that together the two lights near-completely cover the 36 by 50 inch surface area, with great brightness to be had even well below 24 inches deep. The color blending at this depth and over this distance is really exceptional with minimal ‘disco ball’ effect that you see with nearly all multicolored LED lights.
The Angel LED is commendable for a first generation LED light, but it’s not without the need for some more refinements. The indicator light of the Angel LED that lets you know the status or mode of the light is tiny and recessed, as well as hard to find if you don’t know where it is supposed to be.
天使LED的单个硬件编程按钮也很小,因此它不知不觉地逐渐淡化为灯光的设计。这很适合当灯光已经启动并运行时,但是在硬件设计的这一方面,EuroQuatics可以做到更多的改进。
Additionally, having all the hardware built in to a single LED light is one thing, but it makes no difference if users have a hard time accessing this functionality. The Angel LED’s software package is quite powerful and thorough, but navigating to the functions you want to access, and the instructions to do so could stand to be clarified and improved.
欧价is the first new company to offer a fully featured, controllable LED lighting platform in a really long time. Other industry players were many generations ahead of the Angel 1 and Angel 1 Pro LEDs, so Euroquatics had a lot of ground to cover in terms of hardware, software, controllability and accessories. But there’s no doubt about it, the Angel 1 & Pro LED fixture is a worthy contender in the high end LED lighting space and we can’t wait to see where they take the platform from here. [欧价]
