NEW IceCap LED tube arrays!
 

470 nm Blue LED’s

The LED tubes have the same look of a standard T5 tube, but they are powered by a low voltage transformer, not a fluorescent ballast. The T5 form provides a very even spread of the light over the entire aquarium. Encasing the LED's inside a T5-style tube protects them and their circuit boards from the harsh, salty, humid environment that is your normal saltwater aquarium. The IceCap LED arrays also have an aluminum heat sink on the backside of the tube to dissipate what little heat they generate. These two unique features to their LED arrays protect them from the elements (salt, humidity, and heat) that destroyed other brands of LED’s.

Wait till you see what they do for your corals!

LED’s boast low energy consumption and a long life span, but Icecap knows the reason you'll want them is what they will do to the appearance of the corals. They are designed to excite the green fluorescing proteins in corals. They particularly bring out yellows, oranges, reds, and greens. If you think your corals look good under actinics, you haven't seen anything yet! Mushrooms, zoanthids, Ricordea, and most any fleshly large polyp stony corals look amazing under the LED's. This immediate and stunning glow is guaranteed to wow anyone who views your tank during the “twilight” hours and they will continue to cause fluorescence when all the lights are on.

The LED retrofits ship with mounting clips to secure the LED tubes to a canopy, commercial hood or existing fixture. The weight should not be an issue because the 2-foot unit is only 4 oz. Power connection to the LED array is a power tail with a quick connect to a low voltage power supply, no hand wiring required.

Will these work as moon lights, or in your opinion are they to bright to use?

One strip could be used as moon lights, especially if the small strip is used. They are pretty bright though!!

Those are very cool:biggrin: will you carry those in the store? also any idea when the opening is?

cheers

These are best for making the florescence of your corals really pop, they do nothing for growth. Ron99 would know better than I on how the lights do this but I think the very specific 470nm spectrum prevents "wash-out" that can happen with actinic or other blue light solutions.

LEDs typically haver poorer penetration than other lights so the deeper the water gives less florescence effect.

Comparison pictures would illustrate this better but I can't seem to Google anything worthwhile at the moment.

Do you think on a 2ft wide tank, could get away with 1 strip in front of the MH? My 60" tank, I was going to run a 48" T5 on front and back of the 3 250W MH, But I was gona run actinic, so these would be better for sure :D

i just want to replace my t5s on my giesemann system 230.. the t5s are tucked up in a odd spot and they dont do a hole lot

This is interesting, it's nice to see some new LED products on the market.

will or do they have a white version?
