We started the LED Reef Lighting experiment with our 330 Gal SPS Tank and loved the results, so much we decided to do all our tanks with LED and T5 Lighting. In our experience LED Lighting is the best combination to tune your lighting for your specific needs. Colour and growth have been great.
Please contact us through our new LED website www.reefledlights.com for more LED info. We at Captive Reef Ecosystems are now totally dedicated to lighting captive marine environments with LEDs
As time allows we will turn the Reef Ecosystems into information only. We will still provide necessary products to our local customers but our goal is all about the home eco-friendly reef, and LEDs are the first major step.
Hi! I would like to pre-order 4 sets of the above LED DIY kits for 48 LED’s total. I was planning on using the meanwell D series dimmable ballast for mine. Do you have those to include with this kit?
could I just buy the Cree XR-E in royal blue with 80 degree lens only? If yes I would like to know the price for 50 XR-E in royal blue with 80 degree view angle.
Many thanks
im wanting to go all led for my 150 gal reef. let me know I will buy a set.
How to make a order for “6 Cree Q5 XRE Cool White, 6 Cree XRE Royal Blue (450nm), 60 or 80 degree lenses, Mean Well Driver, electric caps and Heat Sink thermal epoxy is $105 with free shipping”
I would like to be a part of this pre-order for this kit. Please let me know what else I need to do.
Just Let me know how many you want. When they come in I’ll shoot you an email.
Yes You can mix and match. 2 Blues for every white or all Blue.
48 royal blue will be $420…4 12 LED Kits…I can toss in 2 extra LEDs for free just have not driven more than 12 with the Mean Well Driver. An extra driver would be $25 and you could do 5 banks of 10.
The kits include the standard non dimmable LPC-35-700. Due the the response for dimmable drivers I’m ordering a Lot of Mean Well ELN-60-48D drivers which are dimmable with the Profilux Controller.
LMK if you prefer a different driver.
I would love to sign up for one of these kits. Please put me down for 1 and email me to confirm. Thanks again for a great deal!
I would like to preorder 3 sets with the ELN-60-48D dimmable drivers.
Please let me know when they are availabe
Will send you an email as soon as I have an estimate on delivery.

Is there a 40 degree optic option or a price without optics? Im interested on 6 kits.
I would like to pre order a kit,
Thanks
Im intertesed in both prices for a 12 and 24 led kit. I see seomone posted “How to make a order for “6 Cree Q5 XRE Cool White, 6 Cree XRE Royal Blue (450nm), 60 or 80 degree lenses, Mean Well Driver, electric caps and Heat Sink thermal epoxy is $105 with free shipping”
The lights should ship out next week you can order them above or on this address for more LED products. http://www.reefecosystems.com/products/lighting/led-reef-lighting/

I have a standard 125 6′ X18″ most sps and a few sps how much LED do I need and how much will be the cost for every thing
You mention in your diy link that these leds are equal to a 400 watt halide bulb. How many leds does it take to get this strength of lighting output.
Thats a loaded question. 48 LEDs on a 24″ heatsink with 80 Degree lenses will have more LUX than a 400 watt MH at the same distance. The MH does cover a larger area but in our aquarium environment the LEDs can use Optics to cover the tank without wasting light. Also a 48 LED fixture with fan was 133 watts on a KillaWatt the 400 Watt MH was 426 watts plus the heat.
Do you think a 24″ heatsink with 48 LEDs be enough to cover a 36″W x 18″L x 25″H SPS tank with most of the sps corals in the upper 2/3 of the tank?
Yes that is our frag tank set up with 80 degree optics and the LEDs are driven at 700mA. The PAR is the same as a 250-400 watt MH.
