Mine came in on Friday (12K & 20K). Time for me to get to work on the light fixtures.

Eric, i have not been around for awhile but this seems interesting. I have an idea floating around my head of a long tank with just a couple tabling acros on one side, maybe this lighting option will work perfect.

All I can say is, It’s about damn time! I’ve been waiting to see products like this available in our market.

I loved my Supakaru spotlight when I had it, so I am definitely excited to try these out. I know they won’t be as powerful, but honestly, who doesn’t love a spotlight?

Can’t wait to get my 12k.

@sam – While this is mostly aesthetic applications, which I agree makes you reconsider the investment, the CREE LED’s are usually rated at 50,000 hours. At 12 hours a day, that’s well over a decade before you would need to replace the fixture. Makes the price tag look more reasonable.

It depends on the goal you are looking to achieve. If you are looking to spot light a corol to make the color pop and a 5k bulb does the job then use it. It is a different theory then traditional American style lighting.

@ Matt Wendell

Isn’t 5000k getting a little close to the unusable spectrum for corals? I know 6500k has been shown to provide some good growth for SPS but I thought lower than that you start seeing detrimental results.

Thanks for the kind words.

Since our inception here at Nanocustoms, we have always strived to use first tier suppliers in all of our products, be it our line of retros, or products manufactured in our vertically integrated facility, quality is our first priority.

The unique combination of widely available E26 lamp base and the rapidly evolving trend towards Japanese style spotlighting, we felt this product, if priced right, could deliver value unparalleled in the industry.

Although we anticipated sucess, we never anticipated THIS much success, as all units are just about spoken for. We have one with your name on it. Clive will be in touch
