Sea Life Aquarium at LEGOLAND Lighting Retrofit from Metal Halide to Ecoxotic LED

[MrFiat124Spider]

So will i be able to use one of these on a 120 gallon tank if it can replace 2 400 watt metal halides?

[ecoxotic1]

@MrFiat124Spider NO - there is a difference between replacing halides with LEDs on large tanks like this versus reef aquariums. Cannon LED pendants penetrate deeper in water vs. halides with visual light, so they are a great replacement on large tanks. On a 120 gallon reef tank, you would need to use 5 of the 50 watt pendants to replace your two 400 watt halides.

Sure is beautiful

the logos ruin the look of the tank

[ecoxotic1]

@goodtimes928 Not everyone thinks so - this is at Legoland! Kids love them.

@goodtimes928 I agree

@goodtimes928 I agree

Wow!! The light save Alot of money for the aquarium lol

Is it true that only half of the halides were on when this video was shot, and that a majority of the lamps were over two years old? 20Ks are also the least efficient metal halide lamp at only 30 lumens/watt max, and since they may have been nearing their end of life its difficult to get a good comparison. Anyways, great video, and great product, I have yet to use the Cannon but have seen them in person. Also looking forward to the 100w version.

@MkeFishguy Hi Mike, you would need to ask SEALIFE at Legoland in Carlsbad those questions.  The number of halides used and total wattage were given to us by them.

Haters are going to hate aren't they?

[ecoxotic1]

@bencae Yep, they sure will!

[counttravula]

i really cant see 8 lighting it up that much, in the suggested videos there is a tank with 5 of them on. and thats only a 4 and a half foot tank.

[ecoxotic1]

@counttravula When the Cannon LED lights are used for illumination viewing on tanks with very deep depths, they penetrate much wider and deeper than a metal halide. On shallow aquariums, such as a 4ft tank, numerous units must be used as the spread is narrow and a high PAR level is needed for coral growth. As we mentioned before, this tank is 290,000 gallons, 18 feet deep - and only using eight (8) 50 watt Cannon LED Pendants.

@ecoxotic1 The tank is actually under 200,000 gallons. I actually do allot of work for Sealife. Still, I know they are very impressed with the lights

[Benchowboy]

look at 1:18 you can clearly see the angle of the light output is less than 20 degree.

8 LED not able to cover that area. It need more than 8.

They are bragging.

[ecoxotic1]

@Benchowboy Hi Benchowboy - there are only eight (8) Cannon LED pendants on this tank. If you do not believe it, just go see it for yourself in person. The Cannon pendant your referring to on the right is at a lower angle as then needed a dimmer cove for their white tipped sharks.

Those lego fish are rediculously realistic. What set are they from? Best I ever made was the Millinium Falcon.

It is truly fantastic that 480 Watts of LED is brighter than 6700 Watts of MH, like this films shows! That means that the LEDs actually give off more energy as light than they pull from the power supply. They make energy! The world's energy problems are hereby solved!

[ecoxotic1]

@GeekNerd1024 Thanks - it doesn't quite solve all the world's energy problems, but every little bit helps!

>>That means that the LEDs actually give off more energy as light than they pull from the power supply.

I have a feeling you are being sarcastic, and if so, you should turn in your nerd credentials.

LED are more efficient than metal halide lamps at turning electricity into light rather than heat.

This is why 480 Watts can indeed be brighter than 6700 Watts of MH because its all light, not a little light and a lot of heat.

[OMGCichlidsFTW]

Wow! Just beautiful! Can't wait until i get my LED's soon :D!

[mercedesff2]

@OMGCichlidsFTW You won't regret it!!!!! I don't!!! What did you get if you don't mind me asking ?

[OMGCichlidsFTW]

@mercedesff2 Haha thanks :D I am currently setting up a brand new 150 gallon reef tank but I am going to get 3 retrofits and also 3-4 Actinic Blue 453nm modules :D for a more bluer effect! Check out my channel :D
