CAD lights, the US based aquarium company has just released their new 100 watt Multi-Chip LED lighting system for reef aquariums.  The light is said to be similar to other canon lights, using a chip that has several LEDs “baked” onto once single board. This main “canon” uses a wide angle individual reflector that should deliver a spacious 30″ x 30″ light spread at a 30” height.  “Surrounded by individual LEDHO bulbs, lets you control the color that you like as well. 3 types of controls lets you easily make the settings of your preference. (1) Included into the unit is a built in digital timer, (2) built in dimmer control for the supplemental lights, (3) remote control for the supplemental lights. Super slim profile designed elegantly to be as inconspicuous as possible.” CAD lights Multi-Chip LED comes included with a ceiling cable hanging kit, and steel cable wires. These have started to ship now and our available with a base price of $574.99

Features:

* Single 100W Multi-Chip LED center bulb with 12 pcs 1W LED HO supplemental lights surrounding.

* Controllable with its built-in Digital timer, Manual dimmer controls and remote control. Multi-Chip center bulb is not dimmable.

* Ultra slim and compact design with dimensions of 15.5″ x 7.5″ x 2″.

* Steel cables, ceiling mounting brackets with height adjusting capability.

Add-on accessories available:

* Brushed Stainless steel lamptree pair, lets you adjust up and down 55″-80″, forwards and backwards as well 8″-12″. includes all mounting hardware and polished stainless steel hook.

    Looks nice enough, but will someone pick up the phone if you have a problem?

    Yes , new customer service being added to staff

    Question 1: Why isn’t the main chip dimmable? Thats really a killer for me. 

    2: What Kelvin ratings does this unit put out? 

    3: This looks like a DIY kit – not a professional, stylish unit like AI, EcoTech or Orphek. What makes them think this fixture will sell when there are other fixtures that are just as powerful, just as sleek and a lot more stylish?

    I get really nervous when a lighting supplier doesn’t post technical information.  And get MORE nervous when they make up terms like “LEDHO”, “LED HO”, “LED bulbs”, etc.  FYI CAD lights – they are called LED “arrays” not bulbs, there is no such thing as a “HO” LED array (since pretty much every LED array has a unique light output), and without technical data the fact that this new fixture pulls 100 watts is meaningless.  For 100 watts of electricity, it could generate 5000 lumens (bad), 10,000 lumens (adequate), or 15,000 lumens (awesome).

    Where is the lumen information?  Where is the Color Temp, PAR rating, or spectral luminosity information?  Where is information on the controller? If you don’t know this information, how is it possible that you designed a good light?

    I wonder if CAD lights understands that you can over or under drive LED’s depending on your system needs?  Unless they share their LED arrays with us (or else very detailed information on the specific light output of all of their separate LED arrays running at 100%) there is no way to evaluate this fixture.

    Additionally – 100 watts plus 12 x 1 watt does NOT equal 100 watts.  I have no real idea what they are talking about with this fixture – the description reads like it was written by a high school student with spelling errors, bad grammar, etc.

    The article clearly states that the multichip led in the center is a 100watt multichip led like what is used in the Ecoxotic photon cannons.  The entire unit reminds me of the MaxSpect G2-160 which uses 2 30watt multichip leds as well as 3watt semileds (I’ve owned one for more than 2 years and like it a lot).  The only question I have with this light is choosing to use a 100watt multichip led instead of a few smaller multichip leds.  The 2 30watt multichips on my MaxSpect are pretty intense and I don’t leave them on for more than 90 minutes a day.

    This has potential to be a good light, however it has two flaws that prevent me from ever considering it. First, that big white chip in the middle looks squarely identical to the common chinese whites that you see all the time on Ebay and similar importers— meaning, it’s not going to have anything close to the efficiency of a unit using a Cree or Rebel LED. 

    Second, it doesn’t have easily replaceable LEDs. If they are all “baked” (reflow soldered?) on to the same heatsink, then can you easily replace one yourself if an LED kills over? What if the LED dies in the “open circuit” position, then all the LEDs on that string go out– what do you do then, with this product? Send it back for repair while your coral shrivel? No thanks.
