Reef Brite LED's - Now Taking Orders!
We are happy to announce that Premium Aquatics is now taking pre-orders for the highly anticipated Reef Brite LED's. These LED strips were recently featured on a popular reef aquarium blog article which shows how intense and penetrable these specific LED strips actually area. Great for supplemental or highlighting actinic in the all blue color. You can also choose multiple white or 50/50 LED strips for lighting your entire system!

We should have the 36" test unit in here right after Christmas. I will get it hooked up and running over a system to get some par numbers, etc.

Thanks

Jeremy,
There is such little info on these so far. How do they mount? Can they be added to any fixture? Is it only one strip for the listed price or a pair? Thanks kc3

We heard back from Reef Brite this morning. They said that our demo 36" unit should be here in just a few days. I will get some pictures posted as soon as it's here.
Thanks, Jeremy |

I would like to order these instead of t5's or vho's for supplemental lighting. Do I need 2x36" for a 6 foot tank or can I use one 48"? Main lighting will be lumenmax elites with lumatek 400w variable ballasts & 2-250w & 1-400w radiums.

Hi guys, we just got our first shipment of these last week. They are awesome to say the least. I put a 24" module over a 48" tank just briefly, that is running a couple of 250 halides and a couple t5's, and the all blue reefbrite made a pretty substantial and noticeable difference, and that was only a single 24" fixture. I'll have pics up very soon.
Thanks, jeremy |

You can purchase the same led strips off e-bay. The pars on them are aren't what you say they are. They are like the led strips you put in for walkways,tailgates and all that other stuff. I bought a set off e-bay for 15.00 in the aquaruim setup and they just light up pars are very low. Impress me with something good.

The reefbrite LED strips use six 3 watt LED (bulbs) per foot. Therefore... 48" = 24 LED 36" = 18 LED 24" = 12 LED However, each 3 watt LED bulb is running at 2 watts. The reason for this, according to reefbrite, is "to insure proper life and color spectrum of the LED's". I contacted reefbrite directly. They said these LEDs are NOT dimmable. However, they hinted that a diimmable version will be available in the future, but no idea when that will happen. These are NOT $15 ebay LED strips. Google "This is what 200 watts of LED actinic light looks like" without the quotes and select the first result to see what supplemental lighting with these LED strips looks like. Also, google this " Reef Brite Actinic LED striplights blueing up some deep reef tanks " |

Flip77 - You are mistaken about these. While there are a ton of LED "strips" on the market, these are not the same thing you have tried, I'm sure of it. Here is what we have so far.....
The strips have the following number of LED's..... 15" - 6 LED's 24" - 12 LED's 36" - 18 LED's 48" - 24 LED's The LED's are adjustable in power, with roughly a 40% decrease or increase. For example, this 24" in the photos can be driven anywhere from 15w up to 25w. |
