I got to see some of the AI sol blues at PA and thought they were too blue. Turned the blues down and they were kind of yellow...Maybe I just didn't know what I was doing with them....

Nice thing about the Sol Blue is it has two separate blue LEDs (blue and royal blue) per puck so you can fine tune them individually to your tastes. The normal Sol White only has one blue so is more white.
Def didn't like the Sol white...Originally Posted by AZDesertRat
I believe you can easily change out the LED's in the Ai fixtures can't you? So you could always order the led's you want as long as they are at the required specs I would imagine.
Foxhole can you post some pics of that reefiltration fixture? What kind of options is available with it?
22g and 50g tanks
I think new AI pucks are $25 apiece and you can get different bulb combinations and different lens angles such as 40 degree or 70 degree.

If they have Cree dies, then they are Edison Opto Edixeon LEDs. They are the only Asian manufacturer of LEDs other than Seoul Semi that use their dies. Unfortunately, the general packaging used is common among nearly all the Chinese manufacturers, so it's hard to tell them apart. Not knocking them, as I know you have had them for a long time, and work well. Just clearing up some of the confusion. So many people get into a frenzy when they hear Cree, no matter what context it's used in.
Yep, that's the one Clive. I think I actually like the color in those Edisons better than the Crees. But The new Sunbrite models use LEDs from cree.
Detroit's oldest large LED tank! Est'd Jan 2005, went LED June 2009. 6' wide 130g reef, Sunbrite T10 LED tubes (3xGen 3 and 1xGen 1), mostly SPS, but chalices, other LPS, and a few softies too.

The the pucks, each with 3 LEDs are interchangeable on the AI?
Yes according to their website

Yes and no. While the SOL White (W/W/B) and Sol Blue (W/B/RB) pucks are interchangeable, using both in a single unit will result in some cross-control and each channel will contain a mix of LEDs (i.e white LEDS would be lit on a blue channel.)
