天空使from Neptune Systems is a new reef aquarium LED light that has been acknowledged by its parent company, but for which no details have yet been divulged. Fortunately, and perhaps intentionally, an image was shared online yesterday for just a few minutes before it was taken down, but not before a quick-thinking netizen could grab the first image of the Neptune Systems SKY LED.
You’d think that this top-down image showing just the upper surface of the light and the fans wouldn’t reveal too much but we’ve used, tested, and or reviewed nearly every LED light ever made and there is a lot of information we can glean from this image.DISCLAIMER-这里的一切都是纯粹的猜测,但我们不会在一定程度上对一般细节的信心分享它们。
It’s no secret that Neptune Systems’ lead hype man is a big fan of the飞利浦Coralcare LED灯,特别是在其分布式LED中,甚至在110V版本被发布到美国市场之前,还可以用220V电路重新连接其家用水族馆。我们始终怀疑Nepsys会受到Coralcare LED灯的启发没有weigh 14 pounds because of the built-in power supplies.
The leaked image of the SKY LED supports this train thought showing a light fixture with a smaller footprint than the CoralCare but still much wider and broader than theAI Hydraand辐射fixtures. The fans pictured on the top of the SKY LED appear quite similar to those used on theEcoLamps Spectra SP-200直径约四英寸,具有低调风扇叶片。
These kinds of fans are specially designed for low profile applications but they don’t move as much air as a custom fan like those used in established top-end reef aquarium lights. Unfortunately for us high elevation reefers nearly all these lights are designed and tested at sea level where the air is denser, but slim blade fans can be somewhat noisy depending on how fast they need to spin, especially in the thinner drier air of higher elevations and arid regions.
If we take the four-inch fans as a reference we estimate that the Neptune Systems SKY LED probably has a footprint in the neighborhood of 12 by 16 inches, if those are three-inch fans then the light might be closer to 10 by 14 inches. With a well-designed heatsink, a light of this size would be capable of between 150 and 200 watts of thermal management, positioning it well in a market of flagship lights running between 180 and 200 watts such as theKessil AP9Xand Ecotech Marine Radion Blue and Pro models.
In either case this wider and larger area and thin profile of the light supports our original assumptions that the SKY LED wouldn’t use LEDs in a cluster array but instead use widely distributed diodes. If the LEDs are not clustered and only equipped with their native primary lens optic the SKY LED will require some degree of diffusion panel to mix the colors and avoid the disco ball effect, and this is one design element which we believe will be a key detail of the Neptune Systems reef aquarium light.
The remaining engineering details such as the distribution of LED colors and channels are straightforward to surmise, the SKY LED will probably use around 60% or more blue LEDs with the remainder being populated with various shades of white, warm white, and accessory colors like UV, red and green. The Philips CoralCare has only two color channels to simplify control settings but that doesn’t jive with the ‘control freak’ tag line that NepSys likes to promote, and so we believe that the SKY LED will have between six and ten color channels with a happy medium of 8 channels being a happy medium.
确定Neptune Systems Sky LED的总体功效的一种关键工程选择是它使用了多少功率,以及该功率如何分布在LED之间。相比之下,我们认为我们认为是新的LED驱动灯的基线,Coralcare Gen2具有68个LED,平均每LED 2.5瓦2.5瓦 - 可通过但不是出血的边缘,而不是较新的灯光,每瓦产生更多的流明的灯通过开车moreLED与less力量。Most of the flagship LED lights now use LEDs with less than 2 watts of power each for a balance between efficiency and the upfront cost of the LEDs so if Neptune Systems wants to release a truly powerful light we’re looking to see around 80 diodes for 150 watts, and at least 100 LEDs if it’s closer to 200 watts.
The leaked image of the SKY LED appears to show a small bump on top of the fixture which we believe could be an indicator LED to communicate the light’s current connection status, and the spacing of the mounting screws would be clever if they line up with existing mounting arms on the aquarium market, but for sure it will at least some kind of hanging kit. Other design details that are completely up in the air is whether or not there will be separate channels for moonlighting such as those found in the newer Hydra and Radions, or whether there will be any kind of intelligent redistribution of power when the spectrum is shifted to opposite extremes, the ‘HyperDrive’ of Hydra HDs and similarly employed in the newer Maxspect Jump入门级MJ-L165as well as other lights.
这大约是我们可以从天空中收集的范围LED计划外的互联网首次亮相的程度,但我们确实希望其他细节与可比的现代礁石水族馆相符。肯定会通过蓝牙,wifi或两者兼而有之的无线连接,这是一个不错的选择。与三叉戟不同,我们不认为海王星系统会试图强迫天空才能在最高融合生态系统中起作用,需要单独的控制器,因为他们为提到宣布的公告而感到自豪海王星系统Grorefugiummacroalgae light. With demo samples of the SKY LED beginning to trickle out to perfunctory reviewers it’s likely we’ll see an official announcement from Neptune Systems sooner than we think.
