In this video we look at the ViparSpectra aquarium light. Right out of the box i was impressed with this product. the packaging was excellent so rest assured that your light will make it safety to yea.
Looking at what's included you will see a hanging kit, remote light and power cord. The hanging kit is really easy to install. with the light only weighing 7 pounds you can hang the light off of a single hook.
This light is an 8 band 2 channel high intensity led light. We put it under our par meter and found that if was throwing so really high readings. each channel was showing a Par of400 per channel with a total in excess of 800 at 12-inch depth at 8 inches above the water.
Another test we did was checking the voltage draw. So running it like i am currently it only uses about 10 watts. At full power, we see that it pulls103 watts. So that is a lot of light for 103watts.
The last test we put out was a temp test. this Light was at max temp 42C directly on the bottom glass where the top frame was only reading 37C. This tells us that the aluminum heat sink is really doing a great job in the cooling
I would like to thank Austin from 420 reefkeepers for allowing us to use the photos of his corals
Thank you all for watching, Have a great day.
