New ATI Starton Pro Journey.

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback; noise was my last concern. Just ordered 3x 153s for our new 72x30x24.

Now that it has been a couple weeks, how are you liking the Straton Pros compared to the G6 Blues? Are the Straton Pros similar in color the the G6 Blue's SPS setting?

You can adjust them to any percentage of blues, or any other color(S), you want.

Can these be mounted in a canopy?

Check what ATI says.
"IF" I remember correctly they don't recommend being inside a hood.

 

[Oldreefer44]

Agree since there are no fans you would get a lot of heat. I

I have an open canopy so they hang from the ceiling but the actual fixtures are hidden.

That’s how my canopy is too. Considering statons for my new lights.

There are a lot of great lights out there so I am not going to say that they are the best because I think that it depends on a lot of factors. I do have to say that I really liked the originals but accidently fried one of them so didn't hesitate to upgrade to these.

They are passive cooled but a properly vented cabinet shouldn't post a problem - easy enough to test though. A low noise fan could be installed to direct air over them. I know a few who have Coral Care Gen 2's in cabinets although they have a larger heatsink but it does include the power supply.

I have 4 fans, 4 vent holes drilled in the top of my canopy and a chiller. I have a mix of lights that I am happy with in my canopy but just curious in case I ever decided to change out my lights.
