Solaris I4 Series

Wanted to see what everyones thoughts are on the new Solaris coming out soon.

I would love to try one of these fixtures but... $2,800 for the fixture to fit my tank. If it really does use 40% less energy than a 400w MH the cost would surely pay off quickly. I know they had some issues with some of the LED strips burning out with the first series but im sure they've got most of those issues squared away.

I would absolutely love to have one, yes they has some issues, but PFO is really good about warranty and taking care of their customers. not only does it use less energy but I love how you can completely customize your lighting and also create the gradual daylight on them. I would have tons of fun with one if I had some extra cash to blow on a 72 inch fixture.

Ill wait a couple of years till they are a little more affordable. They are cool though. Wait until the organic LEDs find their way into reefing. 3/8" thick. You can look right through them. They are just hitting the television market. Cool technology.

it would be interesting to see how the moon phases interact with the corals aswell.

ryan why would you want OLED's in your aquarium lighting fixture, they release less light then regular LED's

[NewbReefer]

like LED's 10 years ago, OLED's are just starting to grab hold and evolve each year regular LED's get consideribly brighter in lumens per watt once OLED's reach the point where LED's are now I would think it would be a better choice to go with.

i think the plasma in that would burn out quickly

I continue to see amazing tanks that use halides and very few that use LED technology, so I can't seem to think of a reason to switch. Not to mention that LED technology seems to improve so rapidly I am always waiting for the next thing to come out. LED's also seem to cost an arm and a leg, so to me they are also problematic in terms of cost, but if I should suddenly find myself in possession of a winning lottery ticket I will promptly buy one and tell you guys all about it.

I read somewhere that the plasma lights put off even more heat than Halides, maybe I read it wrong though.

Dustin as of right now I dont want any LED or OLED technology but Im very interested to see where both will go.
