LED lighting,custom built to your requirements by BSLED and they are based in China and if you want their web page,this is it http://www.bsled.com/led-aquarium-lights/

This is Kitiaras aquarium journal on the new tank with these lights in use
( https://southeastqueenslandm.aforumfree.com/t768-kit-s-4x25x27-pic-heavy ).

Basically to order you work out what you want (casing color, number of LEDS, color of LEDS, what order you want the LEDS, whether you want timers or not, how many power switches and what they control and how many power cords) and you send one of their reps an email for a quote. They will email back details in confirmation to make sure they have it right and a price in US$ and if all is good you make payment through Western Union.

I originally wanted 200w lights but then thought it would be overkill and went to 180w instead (glad I did) this is the details from the emails for the 200w version I got which gives an idea for the specifics you can alter. Some people have the blue and white alternating horizontally or vertically 1 row of each, others checkerboard. Doing it this way they can't set up the timer to control blue and white seperately which is why I went for 3 bands.

2 units, each with the following configuration

Row 1 White 10000k
Row 2 White 10000k
Row 3 White 10000k
Row 4 Blue 460nm
Row 5 Blue 460nm
Row 6 Blue 460nm
Row 7 Blue 460nm
Row 8 White 10000k
Row 9 White 10000k
Row 10 White 10000k


2 meter power cord. Australian plug
Timer (English version)
Silent fans

In a preferred black casing is-
Switch 1 controls row 1, row 2 and row 3
Switch 2 controls row 4, row 5, row 6 and row 7
Switch 3 controls row 8, row 9 and row 10
It has a 2 meter power cord. Australian plug
Timer (English version), the timer control white/blue separately
Silent fans

and 2unit 200w led (include timer) unit price : 368.15USD/pcs X 2 = 736.30USD
2unit (include two timer) shipping cost : 193.11USD(UPS/DHL door-to-door express)




When I asked about pricing for other sized lights I was told the 150w, 180w and 200w use the same case, just different number of LEDS



The 180w price is : 305.93USD/pcs
The 150w price is : 266.67USD/pcs



The timers are made by another company and the quality is not all that crash hot (I have had 2 timer failures that were replaced under warranty) And the prices were what I paid in August last year so highly doubtful as to them being current.
It appears now that they also do 3w cree LED fixtures also, opinions vary as to whether these are better or not (the majority say that the 1w LEDS give greater coverage as larger fittings) I also believe there is an Australian importer now that demand has increased (though who that is I don't know, and if they are customizable through this company or if they only do standardized versions of the light)
