Tokertom Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Has anyone got one these LEDs yet at all? I see their for sale for £450 odd but I can’t find a proper spec sheet for them or indeed much information at all other than the usual description in several places their for sale. I’ve got a couple of Zeus pros and i want 1 more light but I’m tempted to try this for 1/2 the price but im a bit dubious as to why it’s so much cheaper. if anyones got one or knows more about them than please let me know thanks TT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrGreenThumb24 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I'm in the same boat. Clearly the components used won't be st the same standard as the Lunatek Zeus, but for the big saving on price I'm thinking it may be worth the try At 450 it doesn't come with the ballast though, so it actually sits in the 500 range and the same as the Omega LED. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I've seen these , I quite like the idea that you use the lumii digita ballast (got a few kicking around) saves throwing out obsolete hardware. No clue as to whether they're any good. I'm in the process of trying to "borrow" a 480 qboard off a mate who claims to have spares 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you shop around you can buy it for £460 odd with the ballast which is a huge saving but is it a case of buy cheap/buy twice?I’ve seen the omega,that does have a spec sheet that I found but it’s got almost 50% less red diodes than the Zeus,not sure how much difference if any that would make but information about both seem to be hard to come by at the moment,I know a guy whose got 2 of the lumii lights but it’ll be weeks before he can give me any definitive answers about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catweazle1 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 You can use a single strip as well it seems. I would say they sit between the cheaper Chinese-labelled stuff and the likes of Lumatek etc. LEDs probably won't be top bin. The advantage over the Chinese stuff is warranties will be sorted here, rather than there. I've got two Lumii ballasts, amongst others, and they work fine. I can see the difference in build quality between my Lumatek and Lumii ballasts. You get what you pay for. The other thing is, with them being new and untested long term in the field, are you going to test that for them? I think Lumii bringing one out is a good sign LED stuff is starting to become mainstream and overall prices will come down. I'll stick with the site sponsor's stuff here myself, as I only want to buy once and I know they like what they do and sell... it gives me more confidence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 1870 u/mols for that money seems a bargain. Shame they don't show you it's spectrum really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstealth Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 @Tokertom I have a friend interested in this light have you had yours delivered yet and if so whats it like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalEddie Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Has anyone got anything to say about these lights yet? I have just purchased some because of this heat! I love the fact they can be run off a digital ballast so you can swap them out for HPS in winter for the heat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddemon Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Hiya guys i have the lumi 720 led and its fire mate. The best ive seen so far yet, better than maxibright and lumatek pound for pound. Its cheaper and larger than their £400-£500 range ie maxibright & lumatek. It fills my 1.2 m x 1.2 m walls with a bit to spare on sides. I'm 3 ft off the canopy and running on 40%, ppfd readings are 620ppfd in corners and 670ppfd in centre i dare not run on 100%. I was thinking about lumatek and maxibright for ages but just went ahead and bought lumi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catweazle1 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I had the option of getting that, but plonked for a Parplus 465 instead. The price was around the same at the time. Knowing the PAR+ LEDs are top bin with stepless dimming swung it over the power gain of the Lumii. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
