Reply With QuoteHave you considered the beamswork super bright range?
I believe they are value for money.
Anyone seen this? UP has this new LED light.
Although this new Z-series still uses normal 56mW (not high powered) LED, it has almost 3 times as much LEDs on the fixture than the normal ones, so should be much brighter & uniform.
Model: PRO-LED-Z-20
Power: 56mW/1pcs
LED Lamp: 180pcs
Luminous intensity: 1400mcd/1pcs
Colour temperature: 8000k
Input power: AC 100V-240V
Output power: DC 12V
A review here:

The price is much higher than normal 2ft LED

From the specs, do you think this can be used to grow moderate to high light plants?
I'm thinking of replacing my bulky & hot T5HO with LED, but can't afford Aquasky or other high powered LEDs

Want to learn more so that i can give back...
Thanks, you mean the ones with 1W LED?Originally Posted by Altum_lover76
The 2ft one cost almost $200
$200 vs higher end models that are beyond $400 mark.
Hmmmm... :P
I know user Howie is using the higher model. Seems promising. Go have a look at his jungle disco! He made a thread.

Yeah, I know...But still overkill my lousy tank, Lol.
Anyway for low power LED, whats the different between 56mW & 0.06W LED? Which one is brighter?
Upgrade bigger tank.(I just love saying this so much)
That part similar to normal lighting.

I'd love to, but no space. Else i'd have started out with much bigger tank.Upgrade bigger tank.

Hmmm, maybe i'll just get 2x of those Beamswork 9 x 1W Light.
The UP PRO-LED-Z-20 costs around S$95 based on ebay site provided above, while I understand that Beamswork 1600 is in the $160 range ? instead of 1 Beamswork, buy 2 UP PRO instead ?
Thanks for the suggestion.The UP PRO-LED-Z-20 costs around S$95 based on ebay site provided above, while I understand that Beamswork 1600 is in the $160 range ? instead of 1 Beamswork, buy 2 UP PRO instead ?
But I will probably have to see the item itself to decide. I've checked the latest from high power LED from Beamswork and indeed they are quite value for money.
is this sold in Singapore yet? if yes then where can I find it? I have a 40cm planted tank and I am currently using a 2 x 15W aquazonic light fixture which I think is overkill but it does light up my tank nicely and supports plant (and a lot of algae if I'm not careful) growth. I am interested to see how bright this LED fixture is for myself...pretty reasonable price as well seeing that the Z-15 for 40cm++ tanks is about $80 on eBay..

Not sure bout that. I haven't seen it in stores yet. Probably sometimes this month
Ok, some updates.
Saw this UP Z-series LED in store yesterday. It wasn't very bright at all despite their claim of being plant light. Low light plants maybe.
Anyway, I bought this Beamswork with 6 x 3W LED with 6500K bulb. Total 18W to replace my 36W T5HO.
The LED is super bright, but not so much inside the tank. Maybe because its much higher position than my previous T5HO which just 2cm from the water surface. But despite not as bright visually, the fish are very vibrant, everything sparkles & shiny. We'll see by today if my plants are pearling. On my T5HO everything pearls like mad

Is the Beamswork Power LED 600 good enough for low thriving plants?
