Neat lamp. However, I don't understand why to make a parabolic reflector if the lamp is not placed at the focus of the parabola. It would be good if you added a description of the lamp manufacturing technology and a list of materials used.

Scott8536

I am interested in the production of the lamp housing, ideally, if available - a photo report!

Joshua3019

Report to the studio.

Jacob4800

Currently, the MG is not installed in it, but I think it will be in the future. This form works well and only with T5. MG is almost always installed, so making changes for a single case doesn't make sense.

Andrew9246

The body is made of aluminum profile. It is covered with tempered glass at the bottom and perforated metal at the top. Both are inserted into the grooves of the body.

Catherine6534

1. Materials where they were sourced from and their exact names 2. A drawing with a parabola, what was used to create (draw) it, there must be some program, come on, share your experience.

Alexandra

You can create a drawing in AutoCAD, but there is an easier way to check the reflector.

George5104

A little more theory. In the picture, there is a medium-sized aquarium, and the lamp is positioned at a height of 25 cm (also average). As seen from the first image, a 100-degree sector reaches the water surface, while 39 degrees reaches the bottom surface. If there is no reflector or if it is poor, most of the light, which is a large portion, will escape into space. From the second image, it can be concluded that the larger the reflector, the fewer unlit areas (shadows) there are in the aquarium.

Anne4851

I have a similar one. I'm satisfied. 2MG at 150W and 2LL at 24W. I plan to install 4MG at 150W. The ballasts are placed outside.

Jeremy8404

Very, very... I am also currently in the design stage. 2 Mg+2-4 LL T5. I am very interested in the material for reflectors - where did you purchase it and what is the price...

Alexander

I took a ready-made one. I thought about making it myself, but "material for reflectors" tempered glass is quite hard to find; I couldn't find it in my district center. I calculated, and it turned out that buying a ready-made one is cheaper. I thought about getting a Chinese San-San for LL and putting an MH in it, but it has a metal reflector and plastic sides.

Joshua8425

Why is the material for the reflectors tempered glass? As far as I understand, polished aluminum was used. I have a question for you... what exactly is this aluminum, what is its thickness, where was it purchased, and of course, what is the price?

Erica752

Material for reflectors - two options 1 Stainless steel 0.8 (in the last photos) 2 Aluminum 0.3 Both undergo chemical polishing 1 comes in sheets (122x240) 2 comes in rolls of various widths Stainless steel can be found, but there are issues with aluminum; it is only imported for lighting manufacturers, I would buy it myself.

Andrea

Is the material in the last photo of the first post stainless steel or aluminum? Where can I buy it?

Brent8919

In the advertising industry, they use metal with a mirrored surface (either stainless steel or aluminum). Has anyone used it?

Melissa1838

Aluminum

Yvette209

I just found out that the polished stainless steel 12X17 sheet 1250x2500 costs 272. Even if making reflectors for T5 lamps, this will be enough for about 20 reflectors - quite a lot, though.. I need to team up with someone or start taking orders for reflectors :-)

Susan

I think I can call the advertising agency and order the necessary piece from them. I'll try today.

Dennis

I tried several times - it didn't work, they mostly use polished aluminum, which is several times more expensive than stainless steel... But if it works out, I will be genuinely happy.

Stephanie3084

Those who were into photography in the past should remember that in Soviet times there were glossers. It seems to me that sheets should work well for this purpose. I think you can look for them at flea markets. Maybe someone will find this idea useful.

Melissa3200

There are different qualities and manufacturers of stainless steel. The expensive one has a better polish. I bought aluminum by weight, it turned out to be cheaper.

Chad231

In this office, aluminum must be.

Erin

The surface of the bottom can reach even more than 39 degrees, as when light transitions from air to water, the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction: (drawing in the section "Laws of Refraction of Light")

Stacey4437

There is one more point. As the angle of incidence increases, the proportion of light reflected from the water increases. Therefore, the maximum efficiency is achieved by rays that are perpendicular to the surface.

Lindsey3628

There is such a point. But if the angle of incidence is less than 60 degrees, the light reflection coefficient does not exceed 20%: (worst case - graph 1-rs). For comparison: when reflecting from metallic foil, the reflection coefficient of which is 60-70%, 30-40% of light is lost.

Amy

Chad

Tried to mold something like this...

Adam

As a signature

Ricardo7341

Unbelievable! How did you make the patterns? Did you create the drawings yourselves?

Julie

Lumenarc templates are a useful thing. Did you make the projector under the reflector yourself? What does it look like in your version?

Jonathon8514

Yes, it looks similar! But I saw a similar one with Andrey Tkachev, only the lamp is sodium and, accordingly, the reflector has a different design (such lamps are used in aquariums). I can post a photo if needed.

Jill9137

Foam carpet, then from cardboard.

Melissa

No questions.

Joseph8592

Mixed option for using lamps 2x250, 2x150, 2x80

Ross

It probably results in a heavy light fixture. Have you tried moving the ballast and capacitor outside the fixture? The question is: how far can these be removed from the lamp?

Andrew419

Tried, excellent Easily about 2 meters, depends on the wire gauge In the LED fixture, it's better to take everything out, it lasts longer In this case, we did it inside as requested

Dennis

What kind of lamps are MH?

Brandon4517

Blv 14000k

Amy9618

A case was made and tested. The width of the aquarium is 80 cm.

Jennifer5784

The second attempt.... More successful The pattern has been improved, the optics have been enhanced (had to recall descriptive geometry) The reflector can be installed in the housing and modules can be made from 2, 3, 4.... This same reflector will also be used for 250W E40.

Joshua9847

the latest fashion trend is like this

Christopher3770

No problem to do it Just say it’s necessary...

Daniel4967

Optical scheme of the reflector It is easy to see that without the reflector, the area of the AC is shaded when using the reflector BC. If a reflector is made to the width of the aquarium, the result will be even better, which is what the enemies do.

Sydney

With a 250W lamp, E40 socket.

Jacqueline6670

A more compact reflector (29.5x29.5, H 10.5 cm) was made for the housings (H 14 cm). It is possible to install both 150W and 250W metal halide lamps.

Caleb6320

Compact reflector in housing...

Sheila

Carrie1606

Dear, I would like to ask you to not publish your products too often, otherwise I will just drown in saliva!!!!!

Melinda

The most I can promise is a week.

Tammy

You are evil... Your lights are simply exquisite. Huge respect!

Tammy

One must work on oneself Life will be even harder ahead These were just the flowers, the berries are about to ripen The first one is still a bit green, but not for long 170x55x14 The filling is supposed to be MG - 3x250W, T5 - 4x80W The ballasts should be electronic for both MG and T5 I’m thinking about what color to paint.... I’m drowning myself...

Earl

How much does it weigh?

Darrell7542

21-22kg

Amber6362

The optical scheme looks like this.... The areas that fall into the shadow are significantly smaller.

Gabriel

For the next model of the lamp MG2x250W, T5 4x54W, 132 x 47 x 14 cm, a reflector measuring 24 x 30 x 10.5 cm was developed and manufactured, which can also be used for 150W. A few words about why electronic ballasts are needed: They are lighter, They heat up less, They do not rattle, They have better efficiency, And most importantly, they increase the lifespan of the lamp. When igniting the lamp, they provide about 20 high-voltage pulses, while regular ones provide about 200; these pulses significantly burn out the filler and shorten the lifespan.

James8887

Lamp 1700x550x140 painting and assembly area...

Hunter1471

Just hold them in your hands and listen (not hear) how electronic ballasts work, and you won't want to take anything else in your hands. They perform better when starting with a hot lamp.

Susan9583

Are they sold or did you make them yourself? Judging by the photo, it's a homemade item. I'm curious, what is the price?

Joe

There is no point in buying ballasts for 250W, as only a few companies produce them and the price is unrealistic. It makes no sense to engage in the production of lighting fixtures without having components at a reasonable price. I ordered this product and received it, plus it comes with a warranty and service. This is a prototype, so it has signs of being homemade. In mass production, it will not differ from its counterparts.

Cheryl9296

It's time to publish the prices of the products and the production timelines; no one in your workshop doubts it anymore.

Stuart

The price probably corresponds to the skill.

Darlene4238

I'm just stunned, I still can't come to my senses... such quality... I can't find the right words. Now I need to come up with a brand name and the inscription "made in Ukraine" for Europe, so their jaws drop...

Bryan1851

I am not the only one creating this; there are quite a few people and organizations involved, and they have one thing in common. The price is not Chinese, but it is not European either.

Thomas5021

So announce it. Define the standard products, announce the price for them, I am sure you will receive a lot of orders!

Brent7831

The framework of this topic does not allow for open trading.

Jeremy

The product was tested. The lamp is installed at a distance of 34 cm from the floor; the camera poorly perceives brightness variations, so the shooting was done in different modes. In the first photos, 3x250W and 4x80W are working, then 1x250W. The theory was as follows: In the photo, the maximum rectangular shape is clearly visible in the center (width 34 cm), which corresponds to the optical scheme of the reflector. It can be concluded that with an increase in distance to 90 cm, the width of the maximum zone will reach 60 cm. It can also be concluded what the role of the reflector is.

With each time, it becomes more and more perfect))) I see that there are now openings for warm air ventilation in the MH reflectors.

Andrea9320

These are holes for lamps. It is made based on this model. Only the size for the aquarium is 90x90x70.

Vanessa6144

I didn't pay attention))) Initially, it seemed that the ventilation hole was covered with a mesh)) It seemed logical for hot air not to accumulate under the reflector hood of the MH - it would go up.

The advertisement is great, but you just froze me out when I asked my question. What’s the point of posting your creations here if you’re not willing to produce them based on the client's needs? Respect for the beauty, but a minus for the silence. At least you could have declined, but instead, you just ignored me.

Keith7534

I will improve.

Nancy758

Hello, 1) Do you make 19.5” MG reflectors? 2) Is it possible to manufacture a reflector from a material similar to "LumenMax Elit"? Thank you.

James4757

If we want to, we can. But for now, I don't really feel like it. I prefer another reflector, and we will do that. You'd better call me.

Jonathan6173

The question about the size of the reflector arose while looking at the lamp under the cube (where there are four MH). What is the height of the water column in this aquarium? P.S. I'm still waiting for a little problem to be resolved, and then we will need to meet instead of just calling.

David

In a 60cm cube, 150W would be enough, as I think, but Fedor has his own thoughts on this matter; after all, there is no such thing as too much light. As for 4MG, in my opinion, it is close to ideal light, and there will be minimal shadows.

Todd

4x250, I would set it up on 120cm x 120cm. As for too much light, hmm... extra electricity bill, and again additional heating... although of course, this is a matter of personal belief.

Julie4738

It's not a fact that all 4 will always be on; you can simulate the movement of the sun and turn them on sequentially, as I understood, that's what Fedor wants.

Michelle

I understand this.. because to always be bright, 400 watts with a large reflector (for example, Lumenarc 19.5” or Lumen Bright 20” but raised higher) is enough. Well, maybe adding some actinics on the edges would help... Therefore, I completely agree that 150x4 would be sufficient.

Jason5071

There are no perfect lamps, so I think it's better to use 2-4 smaller ones instead of one large one. This allows for a better selection of the spectrum.

Heather9815

Reflector 300x300x105

Jesse

No, I would have installed 400W if it weren't for overheating.

Rita

Theoretically, an excess of light can cause algae growth. However, in practice, I have only seen this with algae filters made of mesh. The main complaint about "excess" light is overheating. And this is more than often the case, it just rarely gets mentioned in this context. So you are not being entirely dishonest... that's why you didn't go for 4x400W. And Chubais is not idle either. As for the Bridge, I agree that the reflector is very interesting, primarily because it can be raised higher.

Stephanie4990

I am not being deceitful.

Robert800

It's fine, the surgeons will manage. I saw that Chubais. We have the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant nearby, and there are rumors that if they launch the third unit, we will enter the thirty-kilometer zone and electricity will be available to us at preferential rates.

Mitchell7972

What kind of bulbs do you use?

Brent7831

3 MH at 250W 12K Reflux and 1 MH 250W Chinese 20K, I bought them cheaply, + 4 LL 24W from Fauna Marin Duo.

Jessica6754

The next one will be this one from the Italians, I took a look and adapted it to the required size. Added after 5 minutes: Perfect - meaning in terms of color reproduction. RiffLux is close, but not 100%.

Laura9093

Hello, Could you please tell me which model you are referring to? Is it the Infiniti? Or is it some other one?

Antonio

infinity

Andrew7823

Hmm... what can I say? Cool! I can't wait for the photos! All the smuggled Italian lamps are made in Odessa.

Justin

It has been hanging here for two days already.

Alejandro

Hello, how much will the aquarium light for a sea tank 900*450*450 and a foam filter cost?

Yvette209

There was a desire and opportunity to refine the reflectors for T5 lamps. As usual, the optical scheme was first drawn up, then a 3D model, a mold... and here is what actually resulted.

Brandon9634

Cool reflectors!! What is the width?? Are they for sale!!!

Barbara

width 11cm, three sizes - for lamps 54W, 39W, 24W

George5104

Hello, can I change the reflectors now?

John3165

Hope, you have a reflector that is 30cm wide, and this one is 11cm.

George5104

I'm not talking about this one, but about in general.. here))

Amber6362

Can I do something like that around MG? I feel like I missed those moments...

Vanessa

Hello! Can you make a light for a sea tank 1000d*500w*400h and a skimmer? Do you have any used ones available? Please send the price in a private message. Thank you in advance!

Tammy2040

In this lamp, as I understand, there are 4 x T5-white and 4 x T5-blue. Did I understand the ratio correctly?

Anna9752

there are whites, blues, and actinics

Kathleen

Did you take a photo of how it shines? I'm just considering this kind of light for myself.

Brent8919

look at the photos here

Travis572

Yes, thank you. It's not an MГ, but the light in the aquarium seems fine. By the way, you should have a website for your creations so people can visit, view, and order. I happen to have a web studio, we could do a barter. I actually need a light and a pen. Well, I'm just thinking out loud. As for the aquarium, 1000x500x600 - could you send me a private message with the price for that?

David3217

I bought a device and tested the lamp. The bulbs are 250W RiffLux 12K and Radium 20K. At the glass: 180,000 lux On the water surface: 50,000 lux At a depth of 45 cm: 8,400 lux At 60 cm: 7,700 lux

Debra6575

Another test... The same lamp (China 14K) and electronic ballast with reflector and without... With reflector - 6,900 lux Without - 1,100 lux

Timothy

For the sake of the experiment, it would be interesting to measure a lamp with a simple reflector (even a piece of white PVC).

Andrew9581

I think PVC is excessive, the material will be available in a week. It is the best in the world today. There is a desire to compare it with what we used before.

Veronica

I am interested in ordering a lamp for an aquarium 100X45X45. The lamp itself is 2X150W + 4X39T5, how much will such a set cost?

Vanessa

2x150, 4x39W, 100x34x14cm ---- 330 euros without bulbs

Devon107

The visual difference between these materials... in terms of characteristics, the difference is 3%, which looks quite significant; with the silver coating, it reflects almost like a mirror. A little later, we will make a reflector and measure the difference in lux.

Robert800

Will you manage in a week?

Leonard

What will it look like?

Laura4892

Beautiful. This lamp is worth that money. Proven.

Danny

Very deep answer I know what makes neat and professional fixtures, but I am interested in which design from the above will be specifically this one.

Tracy4603

Just like this one, but with 150s.

Nicole7122

Finally, the test was conducted. Three reflectors participated in the test: 1. Geometry, material, reflection coefficient 0.98 2. Same geometry, material, and reflection coefficient 0.95 3. Geometry, material, reflection coefficient 0.95 The maximum value recorded was 1 -- 5030 Lux in the center of a 60x60 cm square (at a height of 80 cm), which is 17-20% more than 2 and 3. A used lamp from China was used for the test; absolute values should not be considered. 1. Reflector... 2. ... 3. ...

Heather

Do you sell reflectors separately? For T5 lamps? From the new material that I saw in a couple of posts above?

Larry

module 2x400W + 4x39W 550x850mm

Eric

like this

Danielle8118

Well, how can you refuse such beauty?

Jeffrey2277

How much will it cost to enjoy watching over your aquarium, a lid with 6*54W (T5) with the most efficient reflectors? (without lamps)

Whitney

I can't say the exact price yet. The lamp for T5 bulbs is currently in development and will be ready in about two months. I think the prototype will be ready in a week; I'll show it.

Aaron580

I will be looking forward to it =)

Bethany

In general terms, it will look something like this... although there may still be some design changes. The body is made of aluminum profile, cooling is convection. The material of the M-shaped reflector is Alanod Miro 98%. Here it has 8x54W, but there will be models with fewer and more lamps, as well as a mixed option of MH + T5.

Nancy

How much does it cost and what sizes are available?

Jose

The price depends on the size. First, it is necessary to determine the size and configuration, then we can talk about the price.

Shawn

and what if 125x45 with t5 and mg?

Jade

I'll try to guess.... The aquarium size is 125x45, and if it doesn't have braces, you can make a light fixture of approximately the same size. With a water column of up to 60 cm, it makes sense to use 2x150W MH and 4x54W T5 --- it may cost around 570 euros. If there are braces, there will be a model that is already cheaper.

Aaron6112

Is there a corner aquarium? There is an aquarium with a leg of 85 cm and a height of 60 cm. 1 mg 150 + 4 T5. Is it possible to make such a light fixture?

Kyle

There are ribs along the front and back walls (5 cm each).

Erin

there are two options the first the second

Alyssa1438

Then we need a model with a width of 340mm, something like this, but with T5 39W. It will cost around 320 euros.

Anthony7814

I liked the second option. 1MG x 150 + 3T5 x 36W. Can this be made? How much will it cost?

Kristen1161

It will be better 4x24W + 150W - it will cost about 250 dollars.

Andrew9581

Aquarium from Aquatica, round front glass ^ R4m. Shall I send the top drawing?

Jacqueline5976

and specify the edges, overflow...

Charles4157

, lamp 1220x450, for 8x54

Mario

I sent the drawing in a private message.

John

In a month, there will be a new case model for the T5. It will cost around 500 euros.

Jeffrey2277

there are two options 150 + 4x24 150 + 2x24

Brent7831

And the first option, can I assemble something like this for my aquarium? How much will it cost and how many T5 can I put in there?

Charles5941

And also, the aquarium is placed high - up to 1.40 meters. It needs to be arranged so that the light from the lamp does not shine in the eyes of someone sitting in the room.

Jennifer5784

Sanya, announce the dimensions.

William5838

4 pieces of 24 watts, two lamps in each reflector, 250 dollars. Attach a panel in the shape of a forehead to the facade; it will cover everything.

Monique1236

Leg 845mm, windshield radius 2m

Gene1948

Are there ballasts for 250 W and what is the price?

Leonard

Agreed. Deadlines?

Destiny

There is a regular Voslokhshvabe Electronic Coralview 2x250 Electronic China and Kharkiv Please in private messages

Thomas5021

2 150W + 2x24W

Katie4842

This way it might be clearer. Why does T5 only have two? The first option with 6 would suit me better. Pay attention to the height of the aquarium. A powerful light is needed. We can lower or raise the MH, and it should fit, right?
