MaxSpect LED 110W - G2

[BFG]

If one preference on mh, of course compare with mh.

If one preference on T5, of course compare with T5.

Gonna save a lot money that was needed to replace 8x54w T5 tube every year. :eyebrow:

That's almost the cost of a new maxspect.

I keep reading about CREE upgrade. What exactly is the benefits of CREE upgrade? Stronger, brighter LED? By how much? Tried looking at CREE website but there are so many different types of LED, I have no idea which ones are used for the upgrade.

Hi divinesloth

The use CREE XP-G white LEDs. do not that these are 7k LEDs, hence it will look more yellowish .

If using CREE option, the number of white CREE leds will be reduce to 14 pcs only to balance the tone of the light.

There is no CREE Royal blue option at the moment as I last heard about a month ago.

CREE has a higher lm output and the degradation is much much slower than the SEMILeds.

Thanks Jacky, still planning how I should set up for my 4 feet. This LED light is going to cost an arm man!

Actually Maxspect LED is still one of the cheapest options for LED lighting currently. For your 4ft, 1 x G2 180W should be sufficient. But it depends on what type of corals you intend to keep.

Hi Peter,

planning for LPS and maybe a few SPS right smack at the top. 1xG2 180W is 2feet in length only right? Can cover 4x2x2? If so it is definitely a great bargain. Any place that I can view the light for myself?

+1

when I was using my MH, each time I return home, I dread the feeling when you step into your home.

[divinesloth]

Each has it's own good points I guess. Decision, decision, decision. Best if I could put them side by side to compare. Pretty scary to buy something which I have not seen.

you are welcome.

i just realise that the 180w version has 8 fans in total.....thats alot of cooling...

It can cover 4x2x2 but there will be some light fall off at the edges of the tank. Some people in RC are using 2x160W for a 4x2x2 tank though but if you are just keeping LPS and softies, then a 180W would be more than sufficient.

Just curious that how many CFM per fan running for 180w version ?

Hi all, i just received my maxspect today.

Cant seem to figure out the timer issue.

I have set the time accurately.

And then I set the timer to on the white light between 6.00pm to 12.00am

For blue light, 5.00pm to 12.30am.

However, not at 2.05pm in the afternoon both lights are on. Any idea why?

is ur current maxpect timer/clock showing at around 14:15 pm now?

just switch off the light via the blue and white light button and wait for the light to come on at the next time cycle.

yes bro its showing 14.15 now. Is it correct or i set the clock wrongly?

Many thanks for helping.

Hi bro does it mean if I leave the lights as it is now, it will follow the timer after today's time cycle?

[jackywongto]

yes. I think u set the timer and then switch off and on the main switch. All the lights will turn on when u switch on at the driver unit.

[tian1974]

Many thanks for helping.

it is correct. Then like jacky said, you can manually switch off the white and blue leds first. So, later it will auto switch on as per ur settings for both leds.

To double check, you can press and hold the timer to see the white and then blue leds settings

[ibanez]

Thanks for both bro's reply.

If that's the case, I think its fine for me to leave the maxspect as it is for today. Just hope it will follow the timer after today's cycle.

Will post some pics of the lights later.

I received one set today and the other set next week.

So far can only say that it is very bright and the heat emission is very low, quite pleased with the overall product.

[tian1974]

Enjoy!

I just saw the moonlight from the maxspect after tha main lights are off.

Its simply fantastic.

One of us must post a pic with the moonlight on.
