The Neptune Systems GRO LED is a ‘new’ light recently announced by the Morgan Hill, California based aquarium company. The GRO is a flat panel of medium output LEDs that was designed specifically to grow macroalgae in a sump environment but this light wasn’t designed by Neptune Systems, it was on the market for many years as theZetlight E200S大藻光。
Zetlight为大型藻类生长提供了两个版本的此平板LED灯,55瓦E200和Neptune Systems Gro所基于的较小的20瓦E200。这两个中国LED灯的价格分别为199美元和149美元,但在大多数专业中方便地排出了库存美国盐水水族馆供应商在昨天宣布纽约市的公告之前不久。
We don’t look down on U.S. companies seeing the potential in mass market commoditized products and finding ways to add value and functionality to them, and bringing them to the attention of a wider crowd. Some good examples of remixing existing products include the Neptune Systems AFS derived from theLifegard Intelli-feed或者Otohime-基于Crossover Dietbut the Neptune Systems GRO is a near identical light in a different box.
Besides having an orange bumper and an option for a pipe mounted clamp, the Neptune Systems GRO doesn’t really build on or improve the original light in any meaningful way (the IP rating might have increased a微小的位,但首先是防溅的)。Neptune Systems Gro的价格为129美元withouta power supply so that it can plug directly into the power supplies already built into the Apex EB832 to power simple aquarium devices like modules and small feed pumps.
A separate power supply for the Neptune Systems GRO is only $19.99 bringing it right inline with the original one hundred and fifty dollar price of the Zetlight E200s fixture which begs the question, why rerelease a light under the Neptune Systems logo at all? It would be an entirely different story if the Neptune Systems GRO led light plugged into the EB832’s controllable DC ports but with only on/off operation, you might as well plug in this or any other储备大藻光into the Apex’s world-famous timer outlets.
Surely it’s no coincidence that the original Zetlight E200 and E200s have become out of stock in most of the U.S. market but you can probably still find the Chinese original from somelow cost aquarium specialists,withthe power supply. We definitely heard the light referred to as the Sky LED on the livestream product “announcement” so if Neptune Systems likes the Zetlight flat panel LED it doesn’t take too much imagination to speculate that the larger 55 watt Zetlight E200 could be the basis for the forthcoming海王星系统天空led。
Truth be told it doesn’t take too much light or a particular spectrum to grow . . .藻类。。。因此,许多不同的灯都可以工作,但是像Zetlight E200/E200这样的防水面板对于Neptune Systems重新发行是一个不错的选择。我们知道一件事情生长大量的数量Chaetomorpha对于养分出口,但对于陷入困境,我们非常喜欢防水且可污染的TUNZE LED避难光其多功能性和成本较低。
