Illumagic是一家台湾公司,一直在水族馆业余爱好中所有主要参与者的水族馆灯光。Illumagic与中国大陆,欧洲和北美分开,确实能够开发出其LED水族馆灯,外部影响很小。多年来,它导致了其水族馆灯的独特设计,这是他们自己的灯光。
如果您从未听说过光明的人,或者听起来只有模糊的熟悉,那是因为该公司的市场渗透在亚洲,尤其是澳大利亚都是最成功的。这是Blaze,Blaze X和新样式之类的固定装置已成为下面土地上最受欢迎的灯具。由于多种原因,多年来,家居礁,当地的鱼类商店和商业设施在光亮的产品系列中取得了巨大成功。Illumagic的分销商Dalua澳大利亚的出色性能,耐用性,尤其是强大的产品支持,导致了岛上大陆上许多成功的礁石坦克。
希望向我发送产品进行测试的公司经常与我联系 - 通常需要花几周时间与我自己的礁石罐一起使用几周,以便对水族馆的光进行合理的审查。In this case it was mutually decided that it would be more effective to actually come to Australia and see examples of Illumagic’s various lights over many reef tanks, in many settings, and to really ‘experience’ what these lights are capable of in a range of uses.
我必须在这里完全诚实 - 首先,我只同意使用,拆开,测试和评论我知道的产品,这将是相当好的质量。在这方面,我知道光亮的LED灯将足以与我的读者和观众分享。我的主要动机可能是终于到达澳大利亚并检查澳大利亚礁石场景,这完全使我震惊,澳大利亚礁石是最好的,我的意思是。
But in visiting so many stores, display tanks and a few commercial facilities using Illumagic lights, I came away convinced that Illumagic’s current product line places them shoulder to shoulder with the best offerings from the likes of Maxspect, Kessil, Ecotech Marine, and Aqua Illumination.
光照明的LED灯一直是由固体铝制外壳制成的,具有大量的散热器,导致灯完全被动地冷却,或者在灯光以完全强度或非常温暖的环境中操作时具有附件风扇。此外,Illumagic是最早认识到温暖白色LED的重要性之一,即平衡使用如此多的蓝色LED的冰冷蓝色外观,并增加水族馆的色彩再现。
The other hallmark of Illumagic’s engineering has been a deep commitment to replaceable LED modules – not all of their fixtures have had replaceable LED modules but most of their lights have LEDs that are user serviceable, making it easy to transform a FW light into a SW one or vice versa, as well as to upgrade a perfectly good light to the latest and greatest lighting technology.
The current Illumagic LED lineup includes the Comboray, Blaze X, Blaze Mini, and Style – however the older Blaze line is still alive and well with proven performance in the harshest environment, and we’ll come back to this light in a bit. The Comboray G2 does use interchangeable LEDs in a nice striplight form factor but for this review I really want to concentrate on the Blazes and the Style.
真正有趣的这三个不同呢ent aquarium light platforms is that they use the same cluster of LEDs, the design of which is actually pretty unique in the aquarium hobby. Many of the major LED light makers have settled on grouping their LEDs into clusters of discrete LEDs, each with their own individual lens or reflector, coupled with a slightly diffused surface to help with color blending. On the other end of the spectrum, multichip LEDs are grouped on the same surface with a common reflector, lens or both, which leads to excellent color mixing, a strong point source lighting effect and resulting shimmer lines.
照亮’s LED cluster falls evenly between these two paradigms – their diodes are placed on the same base, closely spaced but still separate dies. You can use these clusters as-is with a 120 degree beam angle, or in conjunction with a cluster-lens which narrows the beam angle to 75 degrees. Whichever path you choose, the Illumagic grouping of LEDs is a perfect intermediate between clusters of Radions, Razors and Hydras and the multichips of Kessil. The result is very effective color mixing, shimmer lines that are noticeable but not overpowering, and a longer fixture lifespan since the clusters are easily user-replaceable.
我对光亮的礁石颜色集群印象深刻的一件事是,对于礁石坦克来说,它几乎是完美的!实际上,今天可用的每个LED灯簇都包含一些颜色比率,我个人会更改一些LED的颜色和/或放置,但显然这是个人喜好和高度主观的。但是,光亮的LED群集是全强度最佳外观之一,因此,降低一些频道以实现完美的外观,没有浪费的功率。
此外,只有三个彩色控制通道可以调整,其中一个白色通道,包括凉爽的白色和温暖的白色LED,蓝色和深蓝色混合的蓝色通道以及带有两种紫外线LED的紫外线。在纸面上,只有三个频道似乎是一个缺点,但实际上,它使它变得容易得多,尤其是对于新用户来说,快速将光线调整为所需的频谱。
这使我获得了任何可控LED灯的最重要功能之一,也就是说,实际控制。任何高端LED灯都需要很好地访问灯光的功能,并且在当今时代,这意味着使用智能手机进行无线控制。Illumagic的Blaze Lights具有蓝牙,而该样式具有WiFi连接性,并且它们俩的工作效果都非常好。该应用程序本身可能有点稀疏,但是再次使您更容易找到用户需要调整和编程的设置,但最重要的是,灯光非常快速,可靠地连接,无论是使用蓝牙还是WiFi。
我发现在三个不同的水族馆灯光之间的这个常见集群非常吸引人,因为在Blaze X,Blaze Mini和Style之间进行选择只是为您的水箱选择最佳散布的一种。需要一个强大的条纹灯,并散布宽阔,使用BlazeX。如果您有一个纳米坦克,那么Blaze Mini很容易。如果您想为SPS坦克的LED簇的更多重叠,那么LED的样式适合您。
在我参观澳大利亚东部的旅行中,我必须看到所有这些灯具在各种坦克上使用的所有这些灯具。商店用它们来点亮珊瑚供出售,它们用于展示礁坦克以及纳米新鲜和盐水罐中。我与之交谈的所有商店都没有赞美光亮的灯光,特别强调了它们的耐用性,以及客户使用Illumagic的各种型号所经历的成功。但是,最令人印象深刻的事情之一是在凯恩斯海军陆战队(Cairns Marine)大量部署了Blaze S LED灯。这些固定装置已在澳大利亚最大的牲畜出口商中使用了五年以上,这种环境使它们暴露于极端的热量,温度和非常大量的盐喷雾剂。
尽管这个非常严酷的治疗,当我们打开up one of the Blaze fixtures to inspect their condition the inside of the fixtures looked virtually brand new. But most importantly, the thoughtful color spectrum with balanced whites, blues and accessory LEDs really brought out the colors of the corals at Cairns Marine. This is perhaps the largest and longest running installation of so many LED lights in a commercial reef aquarium setting that I’m aware of, and only a small number of fans have had to be replaced from nearly 100 lights that are in use there. (I don’t remember exactly how many lights it was, but enough to completely light up a large fish store).
我从这次澳大利亚水族馆之旅中回来,对这个孤立的礁石场景,对澳大利亚非常激动的珊瑚礁的极大尊重以及大火迷你使用自己。正如我所期望的那样,Blaze Mini在我自己的纳米坦克上表现出色,性能安静,色彩演绎,不间断的操作,看起来很棒,而且谨慎地挂在钢电缆上的这个简单的纳米珊瑚礁上。关于Blaze Mini,我唯一可以说的小讽刺是我需要循环到设备以使应用程序扫描蓝牙连接,但每次都可以立即起作用。
By now you can guess that I have become a fan of Illumagic. I ain’t going to lie, it doesn’t hurt that my honeymoon with this lighting catalog was in a country exotic to my own. But trust me, this is one LED platform that can deliver great aquarium lighting experience, and it can stand up to some pretty tough environments. Australia is lucky to have ready access to the Illumagic line of LED lights and it’s only a matter of time until the rest of the world starts to recognize the great balance of value and performance of the Blaze and Style LEDs.
I want to thank澳大利亚达鲁阿和照亮for inviting me to experience their lights in a very creative manner. If you have a chance to use Illumagic LED lights on your home aquarium, you won’t be disappointed by the look of your tank and the growth and colors of your corals.
