Silent Lights Poll

In reading about the OR3, I do not seem to have control over spectrum the way I would with the Stratton or Mitras. Is that true?

This is correct. Its only option is dimming on all channels with the o6. The bars are "optimized" for a certain look.

You could just buy OR4s and have the program ability of their pendants but over a 5” span.

Looked up the tank. Best coverage would come from 6 or3/4s, 120/48” and only runs you 1230$ before tax if they are still running the intro deal on OR4s.

Thanks, folks.

Here is an or3 Reef day and a or2 blue plus and UV over my 40g breeder. No filter just my phone camera as you can see it very white vs other lights out there. I like the Atlantiks for this reason but they have fans They can look like 6500k medal halides if you like that look

Stratons are by far the best looking. Do everything the others do. Also can program based on PAR.

I deep dove into lights 15 months ago when I was getting back into reefing. I narrowed it down to Orphek, AI Blades, Quanta, and Kessil based on noise, spectrum, controllability, cost, how they looked, etc.

Orphek's lack of control took them out, and I ended up going Kessil because I like the shimmer/color, with an ai blade fill. If I were to do it over again, probably Kessil and quanta. Or just Quanta. But I do love my Kessils. I've removed the AI blade when I just upgraded tanks, and added another Kessil. I like the shadows and shimmer.
