A little change on the aquascape, and some corals moved in few days ago.
All pics were taken under blue LED lights.

I recieved my new Illumagic Blaze M90C LED lighting fixture. Here are some pics taken during the unpacking of this "New year gift".

Unpacking of the Illumagic "Blaze M-90C"

The specific box for the Blaze series products (thI got my M-90C in a larger box for M-120C due to their lack of M-90C boxes).


Let\'s unpack it! See those components of the M-90C. They were well placed in their own partitions.


Take all of them out from the partitions~


Power supplies and the cables.


Connecting cables from the fixture body.


Mounting legs made of acrylic.


Light dimmer for Blaze series products.


Lifted the paper cover. See~ M-90C appears!


The fixture was well wrapped in the bubble protective film.


Unwrapping the fixture........


A close look to the fixture. You can see those well arranged LED lamps. The fixture has a protective cover made of tempered glass.


Turn over the fixture. Let\'s take a look at the heat-sink hood! Black and shining! See the "Illumagic" logo? So cool~~


A close look at the "Illumagic" logo. This is really a fancy stuff!


Another side with cables out.



To be continued~~

Mounting the Illumagic "Blaze M-90C"

First, installed the mounting legs on my tank.




Two were all installed~~


Now, carefully mount the M-90C on the two legs. See, it looks really narrow compared with my W36"xL24"xH18" tank. Can it really offer enough light coverage to this tank? I doubt.






A close look at the fixture mounting on the legs (shining screen printing logo)


Same screen printed side cover with simple lables. You can see there is a spare socket for light dimmer!


The legs are tightened on the glass with plastic screws.




Here shows how the power supplies connected with the cables.


The bridging cable from the fixture connected with cables from the power supplies.


The light dimmer for this fixture. (Same screen prited lables. Cool!)


With the cable plugging into the socket.



To be continued..............

Dim the light!

With the light dimmer, one can simply adjust the light spectrum and intensity as well. Here are some pics taken under different dimming conditions:


When these pics are put together, they become a animation!

Lisa, try this link:
http://www.ph84.idv.tw/vbb/showthread.php?t=114998

This is the official thread on a marine aquarium forum in Taiwan. They seem not have their own website yet. However, you can still get some information from the thread.
