Any experiences with the squared HIGH Power 50 WATT LED compared to the 3 WATT LED

[BBQHILLBILLY]

Just curious if anybody has tried the squared HIGH Powered 50 WATT and 100 WATT LEDs?
I know that the life is half of that of 3 WATT LEDs but that still 20000 hrs.
Thats pretty good considering the costs comparisons.

I'd think it would need a pretty big heatsink.

are you talkin about the cannons ??

[BBQHILLBILLY]

Yes Cannon makes a pendant with the square 50 watt LED. Hero LED has parts too.

I think you mean the ecoxotic cannon?


If so, I think those are the ones Louis has over his frag tank at elegant..

[BBQHILLBILLY]

Thank you. That speaks for itself. sweet

You might want to ask him about the lights. Last i remember he said they weren't enough and that is why he had to put metal halide over the tank as well.

[BBQHILLBILLY]

You can get stronger emitters. Im liking this. There are many different sized emitters.
50, 60, 70, . . . 100 WATTS on up
You dont have to use the cannon for these.

50watt LED chips its an array of 5 rows of 10 1 watt leds i just got 2 blue one and am going to order heatsinks

Why not go with the kessils?

[BBQHILLBILLY]

I will be leaning towards the 50WATT emitter.
1. wider range of coverage no lense
2. penetrates deeper in the sw
3. can be replaced
4. lower costs

I built a fixture with 2x10watt of multichips and they are seriously bright!! to bright for the pico i built them for. the blue are amazing!

[Ms_Big_Pun]

the ones louis has are the 100 or 150 and par levels didn't cut it. when we did measurements we where very disappointed. light coverage is very spotlight like

(this is big_pun forgot to sign out on emilys comp lol)

[BBQHILLBILLY]

The lights are growing coral so par seems to be ok. I thought The cannon had a 150 degree angle spread. Surprised it acted like a spotlight. There is no lense. Of course that is a huge tank yall were trying to light.
