Ocean revive

[Jasonb]

Who is running ocean revive lights? My LEDS are wearing out and i am looking to place a order for 2 new leds. I am looking at the artic T247 specifically. Any other suggestions? I dont want to break the bank but i want a decent light with built in timmers at the least.

I tried using the Reef Breeders light fixture which is very similar and it did not work for me. I know some have had good success with them but Leds are not that difficult to make work, with BML I never had to acclimate or adjust colors or ramp up the intensity

Thanks alton.
I have had great success with my chinese black boxes for the last 2 years

Just to let you know Ocean Revive sells their lights on Ebay under the user name Aqua2goled.

I've been using them for about a year and a half now. Work great and only maintenance I've had to do was replace about 3 fans in 3 units in that time. The fans are $4/fan from the manufacturer and they were pretty easy to swap.

I actually removed all the 10k cool white, red, and green diodes and replaced them with 3.5k warm white diodes instead. This coming from a guy that never soldered before so I'd say user-friendly, though I am decently handy for full disclosure.

The diode swap cost me less than $10/fixture.

I say they look pretty good stock but I'm not a fan of bluer tanks and much prefer a crisp white tank which is why I made the LED diode swap.

Look at SB Reef Lights. I swear by mine and you can get a 32in wifi fixture for 425-450 give or take. You can get them cheaper if you go smaller. Check em out

Thank you. I was a diehard MH fan before these lights. I'm pretty satisfied with the results. I also added supplemental T5s to reduce the typical LED disco effect and for better coverage in some areas.

Went ahead and pulled the trigger on these T247 lights. They were 20% off here http://addictiveaquaculture.com/ (20% off the cart total) so ended up getting them for 140 each.
