Hello all,
Long time lurker, first time poster...:Lurking:
Was at the swap on Sunday, what a great time! Thanks to whomever organized it and invited all the great vendors.
Speaking of which, I saw Acan Lighting there, didn't get a chance to chat with them but have been doing homework on them ever since.
Just by way of background - I'm running Innovative Marine Nuvo 16 with the stock lights (2 x 8 Watts at 14,000K) over a mix of softies and some LPS (let me know if you want other parameters but for this question I'm not sure its relevant)
Things are doing just fine, but as my system matures (been up since August 2012) I'm thinking about upgrading the stock lights to something with a little more power, par and functionality - would like to do better than just fine.
It looks like the Acan line of lights would offer just that.
I'm torn at the moment between the 18" 300 series, which would probably be enough light for my needs, or something in the 600 series. Any thoughts?
Also, with the understanding that the 600 prism series is running multiple colored LEDs, vs. just blue and white, I'm wondering what channel these other colors operate on.
In other words, it looks like the light works on three channels - white, blue and moon - I would assume that the other colored LEDs would be controlled by the blue channel correct?
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated!
Thanks.
