Selling my LED lighting

Hey guys. I am selling my LED lights so that I can afford an upgrade. Rather than building a new strip to place in front of these to schedule a mid day peak time light to the front of my tank, I have decided to try and sell them so that I can afford an upgrade.

Currently they are selling for $380 +shipping for each unit (this is a current sale price). In the past few months I have seen variation in pricing from $350 - the full $489 price. I have had them for LESS than 3 months. I would like to get as close to $700 as possible so that I can get back at least some of the investment I made. Reasonable offers can be spoken about.

I have not placed an order for the new lights as I am trying to get a feeler if anybody is interested in these first. Then I will order the new ones and we can do business.

There are 2 60watt LED fixtures and are both less than 3 months old. Each unit has 20 3 watt CREE XP-E LED's in them (10 white and 10 blue). I recently took some ACTUAL par readings from my tank and got the following using an apogee meter. Fixtures are 6 inches above the water surface, below the water surface 650, 8 inches below the surface 450, 13.5 inches below the surface 350, 19 below the surface (SAND BED) 120. These units feature automatic temp controlled fans. They are currently mounted inside of a tight hood and turn on for about 15 minutes every 2 hours or so during peak time. When I had them mounted open air I rarely heard them turn on. The White and Blue CREE LED's are each separately controlled by dual dimmers. I have these mounted over a 72 gallon bowfront tank and have seen beautiful coral response from them.

Here is an older shot that has not been edited to reflect the actual colors and was taken before the addition of my corals during some rock work. This was taken with both the blue and white on 100%.



The units were purchased from OCREEF one of our sponsors and I can show the purchase orders to verify the length of time I have had them.

Here is the information from their website:

OCReef XP-E® 60 Watt CREE™ LED Aquarium Light with 3 Watt High Intensity LED's

The CREE™ LED is leading the LED lighting revolution with its unprecedented lighting-class brightness, efficacy, lifetime and quality of light. These lighting-class features enable the CREE™ LED to replace many traditional light sources and save money with energy-efficient light and long lifetimes.

Specifications:
The 60 Watt CREE™ 3W LED Light Fixture gives an extreme light spread with penetration from 24 inches up to 48 inches of water depth. Are perfect for large to nano sized aquariums. The unit measures 15.8 inches in Length x 5.6 inches in Width x 3.0 inches in Height (L x W X H). Operating Frequency 50Hz/60Hz. The LED's are rated for over 50,000 hours, providing years of maintenance free and eco-friendly use. Unlike Metal Halide bulbs that require costly annual replacements, due to their deteriorating output and unpredictable color drift.

Outer Casing Cover Color:
If you are going to place the CREE™ LED Aquarium light on top of your open top glass canopy, the three available casing colors will allow you to match your aquarium decor. Casing Colors, include: Black, Silver and White. All casing colors are powder coated, with a clear gloss sealed finish. Select casing color from the above drop down, then Add to Cart.

No Heat Increase:
Running these light fixtures over your aquarium will drastically reduce the aquariums overall operating temperature. Therefore, typically there is no need to use other heat removal apparatus, while running these lights. Running these light fixtures gives you a working environmental temperature - 20 to +30 c. If you plan on using this fixture with or around other lighting fixtures including fluorescent or metal halide, you can simply turn the fan on, to ensure you LED fixture stays running cool all the time.

Dimming Capabilities:
As you introduce new corals to your tank, you do not need to reduce lighting hours, you can simply dial down the lighting until your new corals get accustomed to your tank. A wavelength of around 430 nanometers (nm), or higher are the required wavelengths where photosynthetic efficiency is at its highest for symbiotic corals. The 60 Watt CREE™ LED Aquarium Light produces a spectrum of light giving a pure 450~460nm spectrum with no harmful UV radiation unlike Metal Halides and T5 Fluorescents. And with the power supply built into the powder coated dimmer box, makes for an easy and less clustered installation.

Helpful Tips:
For reef aquariums 48 inches or 4 foot in length, fully stocked with corals, it's recommended to use 3 units minimum, either hung over the aquarium (with the included hanging kit), or placed on top of a glass aquarium top cover. For reef aquariums 48 inches or 4 foot lightly stocked with corals, fish only, fish only with live rock, and planted freshwater aquariums, you could run 2 units at a higher elevation to create a wider spread. PAR measures at a 48": Average of 276, peak of 381. Measurements are much greater as the depth of the aquarium decreases. On our PAR tests it out performed well over 10 times the reading of our comparable 250 watt MH lamp, and remember that's at only 60 Watts each unit.

Versatility:
These units work brilliantly on top of the 24 Gallon AquaPods, 28 Gallon Nano Cubes, 12 & 28 Gallon AquaEuro USA, and 29 Gallon BioCubes. Also great for custom reef aquarium builds and planted freshwater biotopes. The 60 Watt CREE™ LED Aquarium Light is so versatile, it makes the perfect gift for those on your shopping list who love all things aquarium!

Quality Assurance:
All LED Lights have been tested by us and have met or exceeded our high expectations, or we simply wouldn't sell it! We test all critical components in-house including PAR output, heat output, and electricity consumption, after a 24 hour burn in period for each unit, to ensure that each unit is of the highest quality.
