wow, this is quickly becoming an awesome aquascape thread as well as a lighting thread. I'm now on month 3 of waiting on my lights. At this point, I may just go ahead and wait a little longer and let them sort out the programming issues. I'm actually a little surprised that the light isn't controllable from the apex or other controller.

He's an iPhone video of my programming in preview mode. Most of the dramatic changes happen at sunrise and sunset. Sorry for the poor quality. I may try to take another video at night to see if I can get a truer version of the colors in the video.

I have very little flickering. A couple times per day during intensity changes.

There is unequivocal proof that MH bulbs change spectrum after long periods of use. For instance, many MH bulbs lose a considerable amount of blue spectrum and increase the spectral intensity in orange and red after several months of burning. Now I am ignorant as to how these LED chips are made, but I assume, especially for phosphor coated bulbs such as the "white" LED's that this spectral shift will occur to some degree as well. How much so with the more narrow spectrum LED chips? I don't know, but it is definitely worth discussing because the initial cost of these fixtures would look even more prohibitive if after 2-3 years the stated spectrum was changing...Not to mention a general loss in the overall loss in output of the chip, which in turn would also effect spectrum. -Mark |

Mine only flickers when the bulbs turn on for a 1 hour ramp.
@Mark SF, I've been following your post regarding the Pac Sun, I'm very curious how this fixture is. I only run my whites and reds at 50%

I'm considering this fixture or the pandora hyperion. The eight controllable channels on the PAC sun are interesting, but I'm more a fan of ATI because of reputation and dimmable T5 lamps.
Anyone owned or seen both off these yet? Would love to hear from you guys if so.

Is that the 8x54w + 3x75w led is too strong for a 48x24x24 tank ?
Thanks |

I just joined the club! Picked up a new 8 bulb 24" unit to hang over my 36" x 36" tank.
The light is amazingly bright when the LED's are on. Build quality is typical ATI German quality. Now i have some questions: Has anyone figured out how they would run this with an Apex? The Apex is cool because i can turn on/off the lights remotely. With this controller it looks like i'm dependent on the built-in program. So if the lights are on, i can turn the entire fixture off with my Apex. But if the lights are off (because of the program) there is no way to easily turn them on, is there? With/without an Apex, how would i do this without having to reprogram the unit? If this is the case then i'll probably ditch the use of the dimming features and just program it to run 100% on all the time and allow the apex to decide the on/off schedule. Anyone else have ideas? I haven't played around with it too much so i'm interested to hear what someone more experienced would say.
