Nye reflektorer: Coralvue LumenBright
: man 3. aug 2009 23:24
Har fået ny reflektor ved navn Coralvue LumenBright. Det er den store model. De giver dælme meget lys til forskel fra vores tidligere 400 watt reflektor, som var meget nubret i overfladen.
Mange kender formentlig LumenArc 3 og lumenBright må siges at være et meget seriøst bud. De er ligeldes spejlblanke på indersiden men har endnu flere vinkler og kaster lyset mere direkte ned i baljen. Vi har to stk. hængende 60 cm. over vandoverfladen med hver 400 watt HQI.
Hold da op! Jeg kan kun bekræfte at de giver smæk for skillingerne. De dækker fint bunden med lys helt ud til kanterne og mere til. Om vi sænker dem må tiden vise. Akvaries overfladeareal måler 160 x 80 cm. Samtidig er der ikke nogen problemer med vandtemperaturen - den er ikke steget, og der er nogenlunde plads til at arbejde under dem hvis koraller skal flyttes lidt rundt.
Så et stort 5-tal her fra!

This whole concept inspired me to test one particular tank to compare the difference between a large LumenArc 3 reflector and a large LumenBright. At the time everyone was convinced that the difference was negligible and due to the supposable lack of spread of a LumenBright, the LumenArc 3 would be on top as you move further away from the bulb. It was evident to us that the LumenBright clearly outperformed the LumenArc in all distances from the bulb.
This clearly made me understand that with the use of LumenBrights comes an even greater need for proper acclimation, as these reflectors are just that much stronger. Seriously people, please be careful when switching to these reflectors. They are much stronger than people think. I can’t tell you how many shocked faces I have seen when I test there old reflectors and they see how low there PAR numbers are under other reflectors.
