I have a 48" Solarius LED light that I bought for my 80 g tank and need to now sell as I have now upgraded to a 7' long 245 g display tank. I have found these lights to be fantastic for both growth and power consumption. They also have the added benifet of no heat transference to the tank unlike the metal halide fixtures I ran before. But like metal halide they do give a shimmmer effect to the tank so you will not miss the stunning look of your metal halide just the power usage and heat transference. If interested please Pm me and I will try to answer all your questions. Im looking for $800.00 obo for these lights or will trade for a LED system to someone looking to down size thier current system. Thanks and happy reefing.:wink:

Which model is it?

The model number on the display is 03.03.18 and the manual says 03.03.16 I4 so I believe the manual is from an older model and the light is the newer model. As for power suppliy problems I did have one of them go down and had to replace it but I found a computer techinician in Drayton Valley who was able to take a new 600 watt power supply and modify it to accept the 4 pin conector for the lights and it works absoulutly great. The new power source also has two cooling fans built into it so as to help disipate heat quicker and easier. The best part is it only cost me about 150 bucks for thew new unit and the mods as he had to test all the connections on the old and new units to make sure he knew which wires to use. He said if the other unit go down for any reason he could cut the mod time in half bringing th ebill down to about 100.00 bones. Hope this answered your questions guys and let me know if you need to know anything else.

I think most people are reluctant to buy something when the company that built it was sued and is out of business

Well if they are not knowing of the reason for the lawsuit I can understand their reluctance but being the lawsuit was brought about due to a Patent on the LED idea by another company and not the technology or quality of the product(the power supply bing an exception as I feel they just did not get a chance to properly address the issue and come up with a proper fix due to the lawsuit shutting them down in mid stride) I feel that yes it is unfortunate that they are out of business and no longer able to support the product but that this in no way affects the overall quality and benifit of this particular lighting alternative.

Any Electronic/tv repair shop is able to fix any LED diode that may need repair.

Actually, I'm not sure that's 100% true as the emitters are soldered 5 to a PCB strip and you need specialized reflux soldering equipment to deal with these kinds of LEDs. If you overheat the board while removing and replacing one emitter you may end up damaging the others on the board. That is why PFO simply replaced the whole strip if one or more emitter burned out.

A couple of power supplies on my 72" Solaris packed it in a while ago, but I sent all my power units down to a company in Tucson, Arizona.
Here is a link for a discussion on another board regarding the shortfalls and design of the original equipment.:

I should be getting my units back in the next week or so. (I only sent them down last week.)

Yeah I looked into the Guy down there as well and I just had a hard time swallowing the 600 bucks canadian for two units to be repaired when I got it done here for less than 200 and had the added benifit of knowing the guy and not hoping to have no custom's or scam worries, that being said hopefully everything works out for you with the power sources but if not then pm me and I'll let you know the guy I used In Drayton Valley, AB and see if he can hook you up with some new power supplies. Cheers and Happy reefing all.
