Reshore, a new collaboration between NanoCustoms, is displaying their new 54 watt Unibody LED’s at MACNA. The Unibody LED’s are made from CNC aluminum with a very slim footprint at 8.0×6.0×0.925 inches which makes it one of the thinnest actively cooled LED fixture on the market. Eighteen 3 watts LEDs power the light for a total of 54 watts, and a fan along with a heatsink provide active cooling. Each fixture will be 2 channel with dimmable control and is controller ready. The Reshore Unibody LED’s should hit the market in the next couple of months and will retail for $349,00. More pictures below.

    More LED Junk huh???How about a post about a QUALITY fixture such as ATI T5 or a Quality Halide pendant system.

    After a couple of years of using this, your growth and color will be TERRIBLE.

    You just never quit, do you? Can the mods remove this guy? I mean his posts hold as much weight as a politician saying they aren’t corrupt.

    This little fixture is awesome! Glad to see a company create a good looking mounting arm that fits the fixture. Just wish they could use some magenta LED’s or even UV. I am sure for the right price they will customize one though.

    Meh, no need to remove him. Everyone has the right to express is opinion, everyone has the right to appear like a total jerk, and everyone else has the right to ignore jerks.

    This being said, jerkness appart, his point is defendable. Although I don’t agree with it, and I think light is light, whatever the source, I know many very good aquarists who simply refuse to put LEDs over their reefs (among them the owner of my LFS who won’t even sell them).

    Time will tell, but from my own experience, my corals have never been so happy than since I switched to LEDs

    Hey there! I agree that everyone has their own opinion, that is fine. At least use some tact and show some proof when you claim that LEDs will kill EVERYTHING in your tank and make them look TERRIBLE.

    I am like you, my corals look great under LED. That isn’t going to change all of the sudden because I hit the three year mark using them. That goes against everything in this hobby. Everything bad happens over night and everything good takes a while. If LEDs are so bad, it would have shown by now.

    Very few people are as big of fans as T5 as I am. If you are on Reef Central you might know me as rtparty over there. I have pushed more T5 sells than just about anybody. I have helped thousands of people with their setups and continue to do so even though I dumped all my T5.

    Anyone that denies facts and proof doesn’t have my respect. LFS owners often let their own agendas get in the way of logical thinking. I am just rambling now though.

    The housing design looks like a Elos knock off……..seems like a real nice nano setup.

    Yeah this just looks like a copy of the elos e-lite…

    Hello all,

    I am the designer and I will be the first to admit that nearly all “clamp on” style lights were inspired by ELOs.

    Although i can see the similarities, the original design inspiration is from the iphone4 (solid metal band and acrylic), and not ELOs. 

    This unit is actively cooled and utilizes a revolutionary airflow design that allows over 90% of the aluminum to be in contact with the air, while air-cooling the LEDs.

    The active cooling design allows us to build a 54w LED light that not only performs well, but runs cool. The gooseneck tank mount will allow for some interesting articulations on bigger tanks, while allowing the ever popular rimless tanks new lighting options.

    With the average profile height of passively cooled systems getting as tall as 2.3 inches, the unibody stands in a  league of its own.

    In this industry, you have to roll with the punches. This is still a prototype, so who knows if the vents will survive in their current iteration.

    Cheers

    Chris

    PS – the article should state that RESHORE Aquatics is a new joint collaboration between Nanocustoms and Transworld Aquatic Enterprises (parent of JBJ).
