fishmanmike01 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Looking for a couple S026 models. Let me know if you have any available. Perhaps trade for reefstar units. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack-the-reefer Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 What reefstar units? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higher Thinking Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I have one I won in a raffle that I'll unashamedly sell. It's never even been used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanmike01 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Not exactly sure. Purchased them from reef madness a year ago. Been in storage since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spilo Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Might have a t247 to sell shortly... not sure if I'll need all 3 that I have on this 3ftx3ft cube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanmike01 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Might have a t247 to sell shortly... not sure if I'll need all 3 that I have on this 3ftx3ft cube Those are the same size correct? Can you run them without the programming? By that I mean just leave the dials on and power them with just the plug? Strait up on/off.

spilo Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Not sure... it's the exact same light as the Arctics but built in timers and light power level... it's only got one plug aswell so I'd think you could make that work if you didn't want straight blue time or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanmike01 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Darn. The ones I have have two plugs which makes it easy to separate blues from whites. That's what I'm looking to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilo Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I have 3 of the Arctics too but wouldnt feel right selling them.. 2 have lost intensity and leds have straight died on them... 1 still seems fully functional but is probably right behind the other 2 in crapping out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanmike01 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Just out of curiosity, how old are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilo Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 No clue I bought them used and ran them for a year and a half or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilo Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Bought 3 of the t247s and was blown away by the difference... never even noticed the gradual decline of the Arctics til I got new lights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombertech Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 There was a guy on the Central Oregon Reef Keeping FB Page selling a pair of Arctics for $200 yesterday, was switching back to MH/T5's I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClark Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Bought 3 of the t247s and was blown away by the difference... never even noticed the gradual decline of the Arctics til I got new lights I have heard rumor of LED decline over time. Sounds like you experienced it? Interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombertech Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Crud on your heat exchanger acts as an insulator which causes your light to run at a higher temperature. If the junction is hotter, the light emmited is less (thermal runaway). This is both an instantaneous problem and a long term issue. Long term it can lead to emitter degradation/failure. the failed leds need replaced, the overall dimness is what it is with the exception of high running temperature issues (if it is causing enough output drop to be noticable). Failed diodes can short dimming the channel, othertimes cause enough voltage drop to lower the overall voltage making the light seem dim. An hour alone with a multimeter (preferably with diode testing built in) and you should have it down to the root cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilo Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I have plans to sit down and repair them.. Bo already mentioned I could get replacement stuff from him... kinda on the bottom of my to do list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
