TheClark Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Not quite mainstream yet, but they are showing up: The complete breakdown of this particular SMD Aquaristik LED light includes four 50w white 12.000k multichip LEDs, two 50W blue multichip LEDs with a peak emission at 460nm and two 90W RGB multichip LEDs which we are told is specifically made for SMD Aquaristik.

Bombertech Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I've been disappointed with the multichips. Their efficiency has been pretty low compaired to the rest of the latest offerings (70-80% versus 90-95%). I'm pretty sure this has to do with thermal transfer from chip to chip currently. When the housing design standard changes hopefully this won't be as big of an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 with 4 50w whites, 2 50w Blues, and 2 90w RBG inst that like a 480 watt light? Or am I missing something? It does look pretty nice in the pictures via side by side comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
