What he said. Not sure what Gred said. I was just drawn to the whip. lol

sambrinar · 03-18-2009, 01:35 AM

you all know I love and trust you very much... BUT (there is always a but), we had to make some modifications to the legs of the light, I couldn't flip the legs to make it fit on the tank.. so you know how simple things go awry... WELL after having to buy a new dremel after MY dremel burnt up (thanks to the hubby), we got it done....

But... I was tired, didn't feel like reseting the timer to get picts for you all, but I have to go to the office tomorrow and I promise I will post them

For now.. here is the AQUA LED from Catalina Aquariums. that I am "beta testing" for them.

And have informed them of the design flaw in the feet, your welcome

.. this fixture is awesome!! beautifly made, heavy though, has 2 panels of LED, moon lights through out the fixture, and 4 T5's... The moonlights are awesome and have a dimer!! I like the look of it on the tank, very nice looking.. you'll see that tomorrow

Here is a pict of it on the floor.. more picts tomorrow

Jeremy0322 · 03-18-2009, 01:48 AM

So how exactly do you beta test something, and how much does it cost...I want to beta test a pimpin light

sambrinar · 03-18-2009, 02:08 AM

You know what, I have no idea what "beta testing" means, all I know is I got the light and need to document growth etc.. Jeremy, contact Zap he assisted me though a new company that he is setting up...

ZAPCOnj · 03-18-2009, 02:40 AM

beta testing is a term used by companies about to release a new product. they send out "beta" units to trusted resources to either test out the unit to see if the "beta" unit needs any more upgrades or changes prior to launch. usually the units are commped or they are sold at a discount price to the tester. the tester usually reports back to the manufacture/designer any thing they feel may be an issue with the item.

in brenda's case the light is at the 95% point of being ready for release. She is being asked to report any concerns from the consumer end as for the design of the light and to report back her growth experience in her tank. The 6 month in house testing showed similar growth to what i experienced with the Aquarium LED light but as we all know. real world trials by real reefers is what matters the most.

sambrinar · 03-18-2009, 02:41 AM

Ahh thanks Zap!!! great so far except for the tootsies.. but all better now.. you will see soon!!

Jeremy0322 · 03-18-2009, 02:55 AM

My whole "i wanna beta test a pimpin light" comment still stands..lol. Do you get to keep it when your done?

sambrinar · 03-18-2009, 03:15 AM

Yes!! I bought it, I better lol

oh, well if you have to pay for it then its not nearly as cool as I thought it was, it was my understanding, this coming from the computer software world, that beta testing means free trial to figure out where the makers screwed up

sambrinar · 03-18-2009, 04:02 AM

Jeremy it is still a very cool deal, I got it at a discounted rate, very well worth the documentation, actually I am very honored to be able to participate. Kind of exciting to have a light NO ONE else has!!
