Stunned LED strip lights from Ecoxotic are the ultimate add on lighting effect for aquarists with existing pendants, canopies or striplights. These modular strips are specially designed to accessorize existing lighting units, including the Panorama LED light fixture, with 3:1 white and blue combination, an all white (8000K), an all blue (453nm) and a very very special UV color that has an emission peak at 403 nm. This last color of the Stunenr LED strip is extra special because there currently are no widely available high output LEDs in this color range so this medium output UV LED light is the closest approximation to true 420nm actinic light from an LED. The 6 watt strips are linkable with a single power supply being able to power up to 6 Stunner strip lights. The power supply will set you back $17.25 and any one of the Stunner strip lights will cost only $44 each. The Stunner strip lights will start shipping in November but they can be pre-ordered from the Ecoxotic website right now. Follow the break for a closer look at the Stunner strip light including the very exciting 403nm UV flavor.

I would definitely order a few of these LED bars if I knew the exact specifications on the LED bulbs themselves. As each picture shows, all the LED bars seem to have a total of 24 LEDs while only consuming a total of 6 watts per light strip. Do the math and the results yield that each LED would only consume about .25 watts (6w / 24 LEDs = 0.25 w/LED).. I am curious about the PAR ratings these may have an impact on, or no impact at all. Although overall, a .25 watt LED is definitely high power, but it is a long ways away from the 1 watt and 3 watt stable mates.
Any ideas how manufacturers are getting round the Orbital Patent? If made in the USA they would fall under this surely?
We are overseeing the build of a German made unit and have to go to great lengths to keep it Euro side and shipped direct, so just curious how others are getting round this.
The Stunner strip lights are clearly aimed at being either colored lighting accessories for exisiting lighting or as a viewing light for smaller tanks. I suspect that with 6 watts of power consumed, 5 watts of that is in actual light output and 1 watt is being consumed by circuitry.
I have a 6 x 39w T5HO unit over my 46g Bow Reef.. I was wondering if the 8,000k White bars would give off somewhat of a “MH shimmer”.. I would definitely go with the 452nm Blue and 403nm Ultraviolet light bars, the added blue would look great and they would not need to be replaced nearly as much as the T5 bulbs. I am just skeptical about the fact that I may not see much of a difference with the added lighting.
Also, I hope they made a typo on their website because the dimensions say the light bar is 12.5”L x 0.6”W x [U]4″H[/U]…. Why would they need to be 4″ high..
I think that might be 0.4″ high. From the looks of the picture it is wider than it is tall. Could just be a rogue decimal missing in action
Alright. Now it makes much more sense! haHA
