Sfiligoi VISION Plasma Lighting

[Aquatics Elite]

To everyone patiently awaiting pricing on these fixtures, we can tell you it will in fact be finalized this week with all details and model configurations.

In the meantime, here is a couple pics of a Vision single pendant over a 2m (78") tank in Europe. Pretty incredible considering the lopsided angle it is suspended at!




Also, here is the render of the Dual Vision 48" model expected:

spectrum (colour temperature)?

Peak intensity is 5800k however, not equal to what you would expect from a MH of that kelvin. Plasma is more representative of natural sunlight. Immediately during dimming of the plasma, the colour changes considerably to an eventual deep blue at 20% intensity. When dimming MH lamps via ACLS on all the Sfiligoi fixtures, it tends to dim more towards a purple look.

The first Sfiligoi Vision due for North America is currently in production and due to arrive on the new 225g show tank at Reef Raft sometime early November! We are looking forward to its arrival and to display this fixtures potential. It will consist of dimmable control of both Plasma and T5's via the Sfiligoi Link controller and be sporting an attractive powder blue enclosure. Stay tuned....

For those who are interested in comparison of Sfiligoi's closest competitor, here is a visual of construction:

meh...
comparison is interesting but meaningless without a price point for each fixture.

Definitely interesting technology though the color leaves something to be desired (very yellow) - though Sfiligoi seems to have taken everything into account by adding t5's (good thinking )

Heres a link to show the potential of Plasma (specifically the seashine units being compared in the pic above)

FYI - NOT MY TANK

I "borrowed" some of the pics and posted them here for discussion purposes

FTS (Lights are 16 inches above the tank and tank is 20 inches deep)


lights at 50%


lights at full power


Interesting how the spectrum changes significantly at different power levels.

Anyone know how efficient these lights are? Is there a chance for this technology to make its way to budget reefers ever or will this always be a "posh" technology?
