Let’s here from him!

“Me llegaron las luces. Estoy Feliz con el color que emite!” – lights arrived. I am happy with the emitting color! (free translation Spanish to English)

“Las luces me han parecido espectacular, era justo el tono que Necesitaba. Las primeras semanas probé solo usar las 2 barras y los corales abrieron sin problema. Incluso han acelerado el crecimiento.

Sigo lamentando que no haya una versión en 30cm 😅

Respecto al servicio de ventas, me pareció bueno sobre todo en la rapidez del envío y la fluidez en el contacto por mail.” –

“The lights looked spectacular to me, it was just what I needed. The first few weeks it was only possible to use the 2 bars and the colors opened without a problem.

Also they have accelerate the growth. I still regret that there is no version in 30 cm 😅

Regarding the sales service, I think it is very good about the speed of delivery and fluidity in contact by mail. “(free translation Spanish to English)

OR2 150/120/90/60 Reef LED Lighting X T5
Orphek has been offering panel style LED lighting solutions for the last 10 years, providing a highly diffused light source and delivering the perfect intensity and spectrum to the reef aquarium in the form of the Atlantik series.

Now combined with our OR3 you can get the ultimate spectrum as if you were using T5s!

The idea was to develop an affordable LED, offering a T5 – like coverage length of the tank, but has all the efficiency, spectrum choice and power associated with LED technology with the following benefits:

  • OR3 bar LEDs typically use 50% less power consumption than T5.
  • Unlike T5 bulbs, which need to be replaced very 6-12 months, LEDs require no maintenance.
  • There is no new acclimation period required for corals – there is with T5 replacement for new bulbs.
  • OR3 bar LEDs have an output of around 2 x that of a comparable T5 bulb – meaning less units are required to fully illuminate the aquarium.
  • OR3 heat sink is around 41C and the heat is dispersed upwards rather than heating the aquarium water.
  • Each OR3 bar has multiple LED color chips providing a balanced spectrum for each bar.
  • OR3 LEDs penetrate the water column giving better performance at depth, providing a shimmer effect to give the aquarium a sharper, colorful visual appearance.
  • OR3 bar LEDs come as standard in 2 spectrum choices with customized options available for special order.
  • Just 2 x OR3 bars, a combination of 1 x Reef Day Plus and 1 x Blue Plus will deliver PAR of ~400 at the surface and ~250 + mid aquarium mounted 20cm above the water level.
