Chihiros A-Series, A601. 5800lm!!

Thanks Martin, Just awaiting upon its arrival now. Avoid the above mentioned ebayer at all costs. My 5 day delivery has gone to "out of stock and 10-15 days" wait time! . Might just open a paypal case and go for the Evo beamswork I was looking at.
 
I ran this light for a while, it's got good power, is dimmable, looks smart, seems well made aside the dinner looks like an after thought. My only real niggle is the colour temp which I find a bit white, I like it warmer which also helps reds pop.

cheers chaps, you have instilled more confidence in my purchase. Up until now i have been making do with LED floods which definitely have a cool white flavour.
 
Have you used it in any of your journals Iain or Nelson? Seeing end results would be interesting.
 
Just what i was looking for, and that's the 2nd lowest setting! so in effect the 2 denominates double strips. With a dry start do you think i can just leave at full whack until i flood the tank? How is the heat after it has been on a while? thanks

Yes and yes.Doesn't get very hot either.
Never tried dry start,so don't really know.
It is a lot of light.The A series might be better,and cheaper.There's also other light options out there ;).
 
Well it arrived today and is pretty sleek for the actual cost. Output is massive. The supplied dimmer works well until you get below 50%. After that it starts flickering slightly. But pretty happy. Cheers chaps for the advice.
 
More than enough. I've turned it down a few notches as its to bright and washes out the colours as previously mentioned by nelson. Not bad for the price but I'm gonna add a strip of red less to bring back the colour.

How are you getting on with this unit? Even though I have a TMC Tile which set me back hundreds I've decided to get one of these because I'm hoping you get better tank coverage. That reaches the corners.

Admittedly I did buy this one by mistake, I actually wanted the 602 but hey ho. You can't go wrong for this price... I hope

Thanks chaps, the green is from the HC, Its a few months on from this now but the light seems to be just right for this tank.
