Reefiis an aquarium LED light startup which is carving out a small niche for specific reef aquarium lighting applications. Based in Portland Oregon, Reefi immediately reminds us of smaller boutique LED light makers likeNanoBox ReefLEDs out of North Carolina and丙旋晶型从科罗拉多州的博尔德出发。
Being small and nimble means these companies can really experiment with new LED colors and try out interesting features, which is exactly what Reefi is aiming for with their Duo Deluxe and Duo Extreme LED light fixtures. With the same dual cluster design as the Ecotech Radion, the Reefi Duo versions have a boxy shape with two groups of multicolor, multichannel LEDs in a wealth of standard and exotic color spectra.
Reefi Duo Deluxe和Extreme都有9种不同的LED颜色,有72个二极管在Reefi Extreme上推216瓦,而Duo Deluxe的评分为144瓦,分布在48个LED中。除了总功率和LED数量外,二人极限还控制着自己的控制频道上的九种颜色,而二人豪华将它们分组为六个频道。
一些独特的功能啊f the Reef Duo fixtures is the use of individual reflectors for each LED creating a very strong field of light pointed down into the aquarium. Reefi claims their reflectors are also effective for blending, but we need to see this for ourselves as individual reflectors tend to exacerbate the disco ball effect, not minimize it – there’s a reason all the major manufacturers have moved towards ever broader angle lenses.
虽然它可能具有标准化的方形形状,但与从中国涌出的廉价黑匣子LED相比,Reefi Duo再也没有什么。除了LED的珊瑚礁范围非常高,Reefi Duo还具有内置的信息屏幕,非常重型冷却,以使LED在最热的工作环境中保持冷却,并且功能功能(如果不花哨的网络)可以快速访问所有颜色控制渠道和编程功能。
We’re on the fence about how well the individual reflectors blend the colors from this fixture, and mileage will vary depending on how it’s placed above the tank, but it should have some killer shimmer from a typical point source light. Other aspects of the Reefi like its mounting solution(s), programming and functions will hopefully only improve over time but at $650 for the Reefi Duo Deluxe and $750 for the Reefi Duo Extreme, this is actually a lot of light and power for a reasonable price and we’re glad to see another entrepreneur carve their own path in this segment of the reef aquarium hobby and market.
