Is there any way to put legs on your fixtures for the people who can't suspend lights above their tanks?

All Acan Lighting LED fixtures are shipped with both ceiling hanging and tank-mounting kits, allowing you to customize your system. The tank-mounting legs and feet included with the 12" and 18" lengths will allow the fixture to mount to tanks up to 6" wider, and the bracket included with the 24", 36" and 48" fixtures will allow them to mount to tanks up to 12" wider.

Check out our website for more details.

are you guys ever going to make LED strips? either intense strips like the reef brites or simple moon lights like the current usa lumen strips?

 

[ClosetFishGeek]

I was just at Tropical Island on Deer Park Avenue and saw the new leg mounting system on the 104 he has over a tank. I have a 101 and would like to know how I get this leg mounting system. This is a nice system and will eliminate salt creep due to the old mounting legs(it is very close to water line). The new one looks like it keeps the unit a good 4-6 inches above water line.

Thanks,

Thane

We are currently working on some new lights, but do not have a date of availability. We will post any new items on MR as they become available.

So can the 12 inch unit stand atop a 20 inch tank?

 

[NYreefNoob]

I was kinda disappointed there was no 'swap' pricing... oh well

Out of the box the 12" will not sit on top of a 20" tank. We have 6" legs that are used for the larger models. Theses can be used on the 12" fixture. We just need to know in advance and we would happily put them in the box for you.

You are correct, our Blue LED's are currently only 1 shade of blues which is 460nm.

Me Too...

Ok after having used one at the swap, not this past one, my one dislike was the color of blue, it just doesnt seem to be that deep rich blue color, loved the ability to change settings ect, but personally wasnt a fan of the shade of blue thats used, other then that liked the fixture

 

[inkblue]

I think I speak for many... the price isn't exactly in line with the state of the economy.

I know I am not alone because everyone I asked said one phrase over and over again... "it's pricey"

 

[FMF0331]

Will there be a group buy on acan led lighting ?

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

While I agree the price is out of my reach, the light looks awesome
