Orphek OR4 bars

[Mr bigolsworth]

Ever had 3s to compare them against, spread seems pretty good, definitely a good supplement to my radion 15s that I am not too happy with

I’ve got 4 xr15 g5 on my 5x2x2 that I’m planning to use to supplement

 

[Jackd1023]

Have 2 on a 4’ tank just because of radions specs on their website, struggled to hit 180 par, now can hit close to 300 10” under the waterline, so pretty happy with that overall par numbers jumped at least 35-40% at 100% so pretty satisfied with those numbers and color is much better

G5 or g6?

Does anyone know the lens angle on OR4’s? I see better spread in the notes and typically that means wider angle lens. Hopefully they are still designed to be mounted high vs most lights that are designed to mount 9” or less over the tank.

G6 sorry got the late response

 

[JetCord]

They showed up today, and the app is connected, going to grab a par meter in the morning and mess with settings, any suggestions on settings?

Pics of the bar and its power supply? dimming capabilities and timer?

 

[flatlander93]

I need pics too. Is it the same for factor as the or3? Same mounting height requirements? I have an invoice from Orphek right now just waiting for me to pay but I still have questions.

 

[Jackd1023]

Hopefully this will help, the only dimmer is on the app. I did not find any physical dimmer for the lights.

2. Upgraded LEDs: The new modern type LEDs are stronger and more durable, providing superior lighting performance. Each LED features a 6W dual chip mix color chip, offering a wider spectrum for better color rendition.

3. Dual Color LEDs: Orphek is the first company in the world to design each LED with two different LED nm colors. This revolutionary technology enhances the spectrum output, resulting in improved coral growth and coloration.

I'm trying to understand these two points. Is this essentially saying they are putting two different color diodes under each individual lens?

I'd like to see a layout. One of the issues I had with the OR3 bars is that I felt that the individual diodes could have been laid out better (i.e. distributed more evenly).

 

[padilla95624]

I have seen a picture of the LED layout. Two diodes with slightly different color wavelengths are placed next to each other in the same lens. That and the reflectors around the LEDs should produce a better color blend.

I am in the process of ordering 3 OR4 150's and Osix controller along with an upgrade kit for a 4th OR3 to be converted to an OR4. This will go over a 6ft long 100 gallon tank. I am not sure if I will need to supplement these with the existing T5 lights or run them on their own.

Would be nice if they made 12 inch. Still orphek seems to last a long time.

 

[seant2h]

I should take delivery of two OR4-90’s today let me know if you have questions about them. I purchased one Blue Plus and one Reef Day Plus to go over an Innovative Marine 40L. I’m going to take PAR measurements to see if I want a second Blue Plus to get SPS PAR levels but they recommended two for my purposes.

I was going to get one AI Grow and one AI glow but didn’t like a few things such as the cost, limited LED colors in the two lights, led glare and how low they have to be mounted which restricts tank access.

Where are you finding these?

Where are you finding these?

I read this exact thread then emailed Orphek through their website to inquire about OR4’s. I emailed them my tank size and lighting goals and they emailed me back a recommendation, pricing etc. and aince they are not for sale on their website, they invoiced me through PayPal for the items.

I e-mailed them regarding a warranty issue on an OR3 and they offered an upgrade kit and package deal for OR4's. Same story as seant2h above.

 

[seant2h]

I got mine. I didn’t have time to play with them but here is the dual LED referenced

 

[LobsterOfJustice]

I’d still like to see a diagram of number and placement of each type

Did you get an OSIx with them or just the normal power supplies. I’m trying to see if the normal power supplies have icon WiFi built into them.

No OSIX, each bar has its own dimming power supply which connects to WiFi. To connect the bar/power supply to the app you have to hit the reset button next to the antennae 4 times for the app to find it.

Do they then just show up in the Icon app and you can group them together.
