One of the selling points Sfiligoi is pushing is bulb replacement. It should relatively easy as you can see that each LED is an individual bulb and socket. Great news about this is it should allow you to chose your bulb placement and highlight individual corals. E.g. Red LED over Pink Birdsnest Blue LED over Blue Tort. We’ve been experimenting with this idea for some time, and it’s great to see a company take this approach. The only possible reservation we have with the Galaxy is intensity.
High Intensity Cree LED Bulb
We have experimented with quite a few LED spot’s and none have the intensity to replace current Metal Halide and T5 lighting. Perhaps this is why Sfiligoi offers T5′s in conjunction with LED’s? The bulb below looks like near exact to those used in the Sfiligoi fixture.
Right now, we don’t know much. Maybe Sfiligoi is using a brand new 100+ lumen per watt LED and it does pack a punch. Intensity and efficiency numbers aside we feel given the “bulb” nature of each LED a much more attractive and less bulky fixture could have been made. The bulbs themselves are actually attractive with the built in metal heat sink… why not show a little bulb?
