GNC AM366面板LED评论

作者：雨果·斯内尔

介绍

六周前，我购买了GNC AM366面板LED对于我的45厘米SPS立方体。我一直在坦克上运行AI Hydra 26HD。当我在水箱的某些地方增长良好时，我直接在光线下燃烧珊瑚，对水箱的阴影感到不满意。

我着手研究各种照明选项，这些选项将提供我想要的光线更均匀，并提供更好的立方体覆盖范围。由于我的水族馆为45厘米，因此T5并不是真正考虑的选择。我城市（新西兰奥克兰）的气候也不适合运行金属卤化物。我定居在LED上。我用来指导我的决定的标准（按照我的重要性）如下：

该光具有成长的SPS的良好记录吗？
光线是否会产生足够的标准杆以使我的Tridacna Maxima在沙床上快乐？
光提供了适合生长和自然色的正确频谱？
光线是否以均匀的方式提供该频谱，即没有任何热点？
光易于设置和使用吗？
Is the light safe to use around salt water?
光线安静吗？我的水族馆位于一个小公寓的客厅里，因此噪音应该至少。
Does the fixture look good and match the aesthetic of my tank?
光线是否可以为其产生的光量吗？
光在我的预算范围内吗？
什么是保修支持？

在查看了各种选择之后，我将自己的选择范围缩小到了一些选择：Triton Lani LED，Onesscape NextOne或SICCE/GNC AM366。

For me, the GNC had one of the best SPS track records, especially in Italy. I preferred its aesthetic over the other lights, and it seemed to match most of my above criteria. I had spent several days looking for threads on Italian forums using this light and translating the pages. The reviews had been all positive and the tanks looked amazing (to me) under this light.

Tech specs / features

AM366灯本身由210个二极管组成，仅消耗60W的功率。有196个白色LED（12,000-14,000开Kelvin）和1446nm Blue LED。如此多的白色LED的原因是为了能源效率。典型的单元使用7000k凉爽的LED，必须将它们与50％蓝色结合以获得所需的开尔文温度。蓝色LED使用更多的功率。GNC对这些高乳清白色的使用可为最大的管腔输出提供，并在所需的总色温下进行最小电消耗。

The overlapping light field produces enormous PAR despite its low wattage, with ~200 PAR measured on the sand bed, 40cm under water, with the light hung 20cm above the water line. I have found the AM366 perfect for my 45cm cube. If keeping LPS, this light would easily work over a 60cm cube too.

在将GNC与其他单元进行比较时，有些人可能会根据消耗的电力的管腔输出来声称效率更高。但是，LED的功耗与管腔输出之间的关系是非线性的。较高的LED效率较低，而不是更高。

随着瓦数吸收的增加，管腔输出不会按比例增加。例如，一瓦输出可能是100个流明，但是在2瓦时，输出只会增加到170个流明，而不是预期的200个流明。由于白色LED仅以0.179W的名义瓦数运行，因此它们的寿命大大增加了。这有助于解释光如何具有5年保修。

大量的LED还确保了弥漫性光。没有镜头。这有助于最大程度地减少阴影和热点。

光的尺寸为366mm x 286mm x 40mm。由于固体激光切割的铝散热器，光重4.4公斤。这意味着光线被动冷却，因此在其操作中保持沉默。当风扇工作时，九头蛇很安静，但这对我来说是一个关注的领域 - 风扇是最弱的联系：如果失败，LED可能会降低其强度或失败。

The acrylic panel beside looking nice (to my eyes) also acts as an insulator and directs the LEDs’ heat into the heatsink instead of the aquarium’s water.

整个单元为IP65额定值，包括电源线附件。在坦克周围和意外飞溅的情况下，这使我放心。

The power cord is also a gray color, which is less visible than traditional black. In addition, the power cord can be connected to the light to hang either parallel or perpendicular to the light. This may be useful for me if I decide to upgrade my tank size in future, as the lights are very modular, and larger AM466 and AM650 both share at least two common dimensions with the AM366, so adding a unit of any size to my existing fixture would still look sleek.

控制

My photoperiod is sunrise at10am，来自上午11点至晚上8点然后向下一个小时的坡道，因此全功率和11小时的时间为9小时。上面提到的标准之一对我来说很容易使用。在这方面，GNC擅长。它缺乏可控性对我而言并不是一个巨大的问题。Sure, perhaps some more blue spectrum would be nice at night, or some photorespiration peaks and troughs during the day to simulate cloud cover, but my first concern is my corals’ health and growth: the constant desire and ability to keep tweaking of the spectrum and intensity can be detrimental. Set and forget has been good for me. Some people may not like this aspect, though.

The light does come with a basic controller on a separate power supply to regulate the sunrise/sunset of the light. The reason this is not integrated into the light is that is keeps the fixture slim and it can be replaced/upgraded in future. Indeed GNC has released updated controllers that do allow the blue:white ratio to be tuned. Basically, this controller switch works almost like a solenoid valve. I have mine set up as follows:

电源电源在控制器打开之前打开5分钟（您可以一直打开主电源，但我选择对额外的保护进行限制以限制电源的磨损）。
一旦控制器的电源打开，光线就会升起其宝蓝色通道30分钟，然后将白色升高30分钟。这意味着您有1小时的日出。
For sunset, once the controller power supply turns off, the light smoothly ramps down in reverse to the sunrise.

如果有削减电源，并且两种电源都会损失动力，并且同时恢复了电源，则光线可以快速3分钟的日出。

如果您选择在没有控制器的情况下运行灯，则灯将始终进行3分钟的日出，这将是一个更简单的解决方案。

Some PAR measurements and a gauge on performance

I hung the light 8″ above the waterline of my reef. Below is an image of my aquarium with the PAR readings from a Seneye reef monitor superimposed. The readings are based on whichever coral is closest to the figures. The illumination is very even and the clam is receiving adequate light, visibly laying down fresh shell. As a test, I also place a

作为测试，我还在沙床上放置了蒙蒂托拉·digitata脆弱的片段。Within two weeks, its growth has been tremendous. An even 200 PAR across the whole sand bed for a 60W light is very impressive to me. The upper reaches of the tank are receiving in the 250-350 PAR range. The Seneye’s PUR reading was 75%. Of course, some of this light may in part be due to the reflective nature of small cube of glass, but it is nonetheless impressive to me.

In addition, since adding this light to my aquarium, growth has continued to increase, with alkalinity consumption increasing from 0.8dKH/day to 1.4dKH/day in the space of a month. Surely a sign that the light is doing its job!

Polyp extension has been extraordinary with this light over my reef, and all corals have responded well. The fish colouration appears more natural to me, and taking photographs seems to be easier too.

The light does not produce as many glitter lines (but still produces some) and is more akin to a T5-lit tank in that respect. There is absolutely zero ‘disco-ball effect’.

What aspects do I not like/least like?

灯具很昂贵。它以820欧元的价格零售。但是，鉴于固定装置和工艺的优雅，我很高兴付款。如果我要添加额外的Hydra固定装置，我将获得类似的最终价格，但是有了更多的电缆，尴尬的安装，缺乏优雅和更多的电子设备（风扇故障等）的空间。另外，我的Hydra HD年龄较大，并且是最早的。我读到了由于制造日期使用的不同的LED，因此读取了后来产品的颜色匹配，并且不想冒险。
由于不得不使用两个电源插座，控制器可能有些烦人，但这对我来说是一个小的不便。
I would like to have seen a smattering of some red and UV LEDs included, but I love the spectrum despite this and the corals have responded well too. I note the latest GNC Bluray does include some red diodes to help give an even fuller spectrum.
