With Ecoxotic releasing their newPanorama Pro Fixture对于业余爱好者来说，这让我想到 - 这似乎就像建立碎片坦克一样的时间。由于加利福尼亚州的电力成本很高，我一直在寻找一种节能的方法来使这个碎片项目向前发展。作为一生的长期金属卤化物的凉鞋，很难让我拥抱任何其他形式的照明，但是如果我要确信LED，我需要长期玩珊瑚。
While many of the other LED makers are going after the hardcore SPS keepers by pitching us big light in a small package with huge PAR numbers coming directly below the fixture, the Ecoxotic seems content with going after the everyday hobbyist that is looking for moderate light, which is spread out evenly all throughout the area. Follow the break to see some first impressions of the Panorama Pro fixture from Ecoxotic.
What primarily attracted me to the Panorama Pro fixture was its modular design. I like the idea that you can add optional Panorama Pro LED Modules and Stunner Strips to the fixture to get the desired look that you are after. My first chance to see the Panorama Pro came at Reef-A-Palooza 2011. I was immediately attracted to the features which are different than many of the other fixtures on the market today.
The various mounting options of the Panorama Pro LED fixture is the real magic of the fixture. When using the optional tank mounting bracket the fixture sits approximately 2 – 3” off the water’s surface. Due to the fixture’s size the spread is not an issue. While other fixtures have users raising them upwards of 12” off the surface to get sufficient spread, the Panorama can get right down on the water to et nice PAR down to the corals. For those with a PAR meter, we all know how much of an advantage it is to the Ecoxotic Panorama Pro!
