First Full Day Of The New Led Lights.
So it turns out the 5" wide touchscreen I was going to use for the reef controller is faulty. Like, proper faulty. So I ordered a new one, and uploaded the sketch for the 3.2" screen I have - the right hand side of the display is faulty, but the touch works flawlessly (the 5" wide one was the opposite - non responsive to touch). That way the lights can run whilst I wait for the new screen.
This is them at their brightest setting - the picture was actually significantly bluer than this, but I tweaked the temp settings (my DSLR takes pictures in RAW format, so I get full control over the final product) so that it looks the way it does to the eye. They're very bright.
These are the lights themselves. The lenses are painful to look at.
As you can see by the controller, the total output of the units is maybe 1/3 of their maximum - only one LED string was over 50%. These emitters are significantly more efficient than the previous ones I was using.
