The VerVve One and VerVve Pro are Giesemann’s most mature LED light fixture that we’ve seen them release for the aquarium market. Two weeks ago in D.C. we got to see these new VerVve LED lights in person, and besides the obvious LED and controlling package, the fixture and housing are truly in line with what Giesemann is capable of in terms of look, fit and finish; the VerVve LED lights are simply beautiful.
Giesemann will be offering the VerVve in two models, the VerVve One which retails for $679 and the VerVve Pro which prices out at $729. Both models of the Giesemann VerVve have identical lighting engines but different control schemes. The VerVve Pro is essentially the ‘master’ LED fixture with the VerVve One acting as a secondary ‘slave’ to the VerVve Pro’s commands.
Giesemann’s vision is for users of the VerVve LED lighting platform to use just a single VerVve Pro LED for lighting a smaller tank, or to purchase a single VerVve Pro and multiple VerVve One fixtures. With such a slight cost difference of $50 per fixture, we’d just as well get all VerVve Pro fixtures if we were to invest in Giesemann’s LED lighting.
Where the differentiation of two fixtures is somewhat confusing, the installation of these lights and programming them is quite simple. We can’t stress enough how beautiful Giesemann has managed to make their VerVve LED fixtures, with a subtle curve to the topside, finned ‘wings’ for heatsink on either side of the internals, and a gun metal finish with hints of sparkling in the anodizing layer.
The middle of the topside of the Giesemann VerVve is completely covered in a metal speaker-grill style fan intake screen. This center section is bordered by a track that holds a bracket straddling the middle, allowing the light to be suspended or mounted in a variety of different orientations. It may seem like we’re spending a lot of time on the appearance of the LED fixture but in a field that is dominated by plastic fixtures, the VerVve really classes up the joint by going with an all metal construction, of an aluminum and magnesium alloy no less.
实际上,为Giesemann Vervve提供动力的是两个二极管簇,总共有56个二极管,并带有您期望找到的所有主要颜色。Vervve Pro和一个都有红色,绿色,温暖的白色,紫外线,以及许多蓝色和宝蓝色的LED。通过与iOS和Android平台上的智能手机的直接连接,控制Vervve并不是任何简单的。
在这个时代,亲自看到光线足以使人感觉到它的一般亮度和表现。但要真正know需要在现场珊瑚,活植物和活鱼的地方展示其能力的能力,以便在现实世界中准确显示其颜色演绎。Giesemann距离完全发布Vervve Pro和Vervve One固定装置还有几个月的路程,在此期间,在现实世界中评估固定装置的性能将变得更加容易。
