ORPHEK PR72 THE BEST REEF LED PENDANT FOR THE COST

ORPHEK PR72 THE BEST REEF LED PENDANT FOR THE COST 

The Orphek PR72 Reef , was introduced to the market at the MACNA Convention held in Dallas, Texas in September, 2012.  The high PAR and coverage ability pleased all who visited the Orphek Booth.


The PR72 was designed for smaller aquariums and frag tanks and for those aquarists on a limited budget who want to upgrade to LED lighting and still have the same LED technology that goes into our PR156XP and our top of the line Atlantik.  Two of our PR72 Pendants will cover a 47.2" L x 23.6 " W tank with plenty of PAR in the PUR spectrum to grow all types of corals.  Dollar per watt, it is the least expensive pendant on the market.

PAR readings taken at our MACNA booth impressed all who witnessed and the Kelvin temperature the PR72s rendered was very impressive.  Corals and fish popped with color that no older lighting technology could provide.

Orphek DIF100 LED LIGHTING IS THE BEST LIGHTING FOR PUBLIC AQUARIUMS

WHY Orphek DIF100 LED LIGHTING IS THE BEST LIGHTING FOR PUBLIC AND LARGE HOME AQUARIUMS

Orphek has been producing LED lighting for nearly five years and we are very excited about our DIF100’s capabilities for both public and large home aquariums such as Pieter’s six meter reef tank which recently has been upgraded from metal halide lighting to our DIF series of LED pendants.

There are many benefits to be realized by upgrading to Orphek DIF LED Pendants in both public and large home aquariums.  The most obvious is the ability to see more of the exhibit or the display which leads to a big visual impact in seeing the corals and fish as if they were in their native habitat.

Most public aquariums run on a tight budget which is generally funded by admission charges to the patrons so saving money is always a priority.  A considerable amount of savings comes from much less energy being used and the elimination of yearly lamp replacement which also adds to maintenance time.



Many public aquariums and institutions are going green in an effort to lower their carbon footprint and the Orphek DIF Pendants will do that for you.

The savings realized will quickly pay for the investment in an Orphek LED upgrade.  Another benefit is that the amount of lamps required to light a given area is reduced with Orphek DIF Series Pendants which makes for a cleaner uncluttered look and making maintenance chores much easier.

For live coral displays, our DIF 100 Pendants excel at providing the necessary intensity (PAR) and spectrum to grow corals even at depths of up to four feet.

Our wide range of available Kelvin temperatures allows the DIF Series of Pendants to be configured for a variety of uses including freshwater displays.  Kelvin temperatures are available from 7,000K to 25,000K.

With a choice of four different high quality optical focusing lenses to choose from, the DIF Pendants can be used for a variety of different depth ranges as well as tailoring the light spread for a specific display size.

If you are a curator of a public aquarium, or have a large home aquarium and want to save money on energy and maintenance costs and improve the visibility of your display as well as the color of your inhabitants, please contact us for more information on how we can help you greatly reduce your operating costs.

WHY ORPHEK ATLANTIK EXCELLS AS THE BEST LED AQUARIUM LIGHT

WHY ORPHEK ATLANTIK EXCELLS AS THE BEST LED AQUARIUM LIGHT

At the MACNA 2012 Marine Conference held in Dallas, Texas, Orphek unveiled its new Atlantik Four Channel Programmable LED Pendant which proved to be a huge success with reef aquarists.  A testament to this lies in the fact that our first production run of the Atlantik were completely sold out during the few days of its availability.

Orphek’s design goals for our new Atlantik were:

Provide the highest PAR per watt.

Provide high Kelvin temperature using a minimal amount of blue LEDs by using our proprietary 17K white LEDs.

Provide easy programming.

Provide eight pre-programmed photoperiods for different applications.

Provide high PAR for tanks over 36 inches deep.

Provide useful features; no gimmickries like storm modes, disco effects, or useless green or yellow LEDs that add cost to the fixture, lower the PUR spectrum and provide no useful benefit to corals.

Provide whisper quite cooling fans to eliminate heat thereby extending the life of the electronics.

Provide high quality optical lenses so a minimum amount of pendants are needed on large aquariums.

Provide high efficiency industrial grade LED drivers.

Provide the best PAR/PUR per dollar.

Orphek engineers have met or exceeded all the goals that were set and we now have what we feel is the best reef LED pendant available for the price.  Our high intensity LEDs were demonstrated with a PAR meter at the recent MACNA conference which resulted in quite a few woos and ahs.  A short video can be seen here which demonstrates this.

Orphek did not stop with the above goals, the Atlantik also includes eight pre-programmed photoperiods which will allow new users to select a program based on their needs so that they can get their Atlantik up and running while learning how to program their own photoperiod, or they can simply use one of our pre-programmed photoperiods suited to their application.  Our Coral Acclimation program is very useful as it allows your corals to adjust to the intensity of the Atlantik without fear of coral recession due to an excessive increase in light intensity.

The Atlantik Wide Model provides high PAR/PUR at a height of 47 inches (120cm)  and at a distance of 20 inches (50cm) off center for all direction.  And at this height and horizontal distance, the Atlantik will still provide a PAR/PUR value sufficient.  One Atlantik Wide Model will cover a ~ 48”x 30”x tank with more than enough light intensity for growing SPS corals.  At the most distant location from the pendant, the PAR/PUR will still be at least ~70-80 and this is equivalent to about 160 PAR with metal halides while only using 187 watts of power.  Compared to metal halide lighting that would be needed for a tank this size (two 175 watt halide lamps), there is a savings of 163watts or 1.63 kilowatt hours per day based on an average 10 hour photoperiod.  That’s a savings of 595 kilowatt hours per year.  This writer’s energy charges are 79 cents per kilowatt hour which would result in a yearly savings for me of $470.00 dollars, a little more than half the cost of one Atlantik shipped to the USA.  Add to this savings are no lamp replacement or chiller expenses.

Our new Atlantik four channel programmable LED pendant is sure to please your wallet and your corals.  A questionnaire has recently been sent out to owners of our new Atlantik and their responses can be found by following this link.  As we receive their responses they will be added so keep checking our site for new entries.
