OR3 120 Blue Sky LED, PAR measures, Euro per watt value by DaniReef LAB
Our OR3 Blue Sky LED Bar has already became the must have product among reefers and today it is also the best value per watt according to Danireef blog.
Danireef blog is the greatest Italian source for reefers in Europe and for our surprise and excitement has published recently a long article with an extensive review of our OR3 120 Blue Sky LED Reef Bar, offering a lot of technical information and performance of our newest product and what is really interesting is to check out the extensive PAR measurements results.
He also compares our newest launch to other Orphek OR3 120 LED Bars (OR3 120 Blue Plus ,OR3 120 Reef Day ).

*Pls. notice that the given prices of our OR3 120 Blue Sky have slight change for less.
As Danilio Ronchi explains:
“As we have already said for the OR2 Reef Day Plus and Blue Plus sisters , the LED bar is simply impeccably built. Solid, massive and very well assembled. I really like the extruded profiles as well as the finish. No programming ensures perfect simplicity of operation, moreover, several can be placed side by side until the required power is obtained. In this context, the measured PARs must be thought of, since the comparison with a ceiling light is rather merciless...
...But already if we consider the total energy the accounts begin to add up, even considering that the light adds up. So the bars are perfect for growing any coral, the important thing is to put a sufficient number of them alongside. Do you want to double the PAR? Put two of them side by side, do you want to quadruple them? Place 4 of them side by side, and so on. Personally I think that 4 LED bars should be able to get us to about 600 PAR in an average aquarium, variable according to the depth...
And he continues
“The cost per watt is incredibly low, the lowest of all those we have measured, while on the PAR per watt we need to have other bars available, in this case blue, before expressing ourselves. What else to ask from an LED bar?”

First we have the unboxing video where you will be able to see how your OR3 Blue Sky 120 LED bar will arrive to you.
If you speak Italian you will also be able to have a complete review of the product, a comparison to other OR3 models, PAR measures and his opinion on the product, since he is both an experienced reefer and engineer.
For non Italian speakers we extracted some of his opinions from the article that came with the video:
“The new LED bar of the very successful OR3 series is born with only two types of LEDs, 450 i 470 nanometara…The external aluminum finish works as a passive heatsink, and given the weight and volume of the aluminum we are sure that these LED bars will never have overheating problems. the assembly is practically perfect…The bars are, like the previous OR2, beautiful, solid and appear very well made... " (extracted from Danireef blog)
Let’s get to it!! THE PAR MEASURES:
DaniReef LAB metoda rada za PAR mjerenje:
Kvantni metar MQ-510 koji mjeri PAR, izražen u PFFD ili gustina fotosintetskog fotonskog fluksa ( gustina fotosintetskog fluksa ) u mol m-2 s-1.
Instrument was calibrated to work underwater, so when used in air the measured value must be divided by 1.32 which is the immersion factor.
Since measures were taken with no water the conversion was necessary, but the numbers and results that you will see will always be the correct ones.
In order to test our OR3 120 Blue Sky LED Bar they built a 70 × 70 cm base, with 17 points marked where to place the sensor of the Quantum Meter MQ-510.
The position the ceiling light – 20, 40 and 60 cm heights.
In total the three measurements were taken at 17, 37 i 57 cm away in the air and the corrective factor was applied.
So, with no further due let’s get these results!!
The measurement of PAR at a distance of 17 cm:
Danilo Ronchi from Danireef blog explains “As you can see, the bar creates a curve that looks like a curtain, with the spatial differences due to the type of LED used. Unlike classic ceiling lights, therefore the decay is very linear, being about 20 cm from the light source.”
Let’s see the differences with the graphs of the LED bars that they have already tested with the same scale:
The measurement of PAR at a distance of 37 cm:
Danilo compare results – “Again, as was obvious and reasonable to expect, the Blue Sky bar shows a greater number of PARs. The difference between the three ceiling lights in this case seems to be quite high.”
And finally, the measurement of PAR at a distance of 57 cm:
“By further increasing the space between the ceiling light and the sensor, the difference between the PAR measured at the center and at the edges does not decrease as we would have expected but returns to increase. Uniformity is practically perfect...
...The central value still decreases from 488 to 240 to 151 μmol m-2 s-1…The comparison between the three bars increases even more, much in the center, more than we would have expected, while at the edges the difference is minimal.” Explains Danilo.
So, as you all can see the performance of our OR3 Blue Sky is outstanding!
He gives a little more data that we find important to share with you!
The PAR in the center in the different configurations:
Energy variation of the Orphek OR3 Blue Sky LED bars based on distance:
“In my opinion, this is the most significant data among those measured, and the most comparable. The energy variation. The volumes subtended by the three surfaces you have seen previously have been calculated. Because it is obvious that moving away from the ceiling light the PAR values decrease, but they also decrease because the light illuminates a larger space...
...In this way we try to take into account all the light energy contained in the hypothetical square of 60 cm subtended by the ceiling light. And we see that the three values 318,000, 220,000 and 205,000 take on a different connotation with respect to the values measured in the center...
...When the former drop a lot because the distances increase, the underlying area, that is the energy, decreases very slowly. The differences between the three areas is very low indeed. Little energy is sent out of the underlying area.
In fact, looking at the values of the three curves we see that at the edges there is much more light at 57 cm than at 37.”

"Orphek OR3 Blue Sky plafon svjetlo : 62.04 vata . Considering that at 17 cm the ceiling light develops 488 μmol m-2 s-1 in the center, it can be said, in perspective, that it has a peak value of 7.86 μmol m-2 s-1 w-1 (PAR per watt ). This value is difficult to compare with a ceiling light because it is more or less constant along its entire length...
...The detection of the instantaneous consumption has been made possible thanks to the use of the handy RCE PM600 instrument which is also able to measure the Cos (fi) (or phase shift ). The result is given directly in watts”.
How to evaluate these numbers in the aquarium?
“Then we filled an aquarium with water, immersed the probe and redid some measurements. This has blown us away, but, as we have already said in previous articles, we will talk about it in a future in-depth article, which we will not fail to link below…”
We hope to see this article soon!
As he continues:
“In practice, while at 20 cm the result is practically coincident, as you immerse yourself, thanks to the glasses that reflect the light, and to the water itself that diffuses it more, you can find values that are even double compared to those measured in air.
…Obviously this is not a detail that can be standardized, so we believe that our calculation method is the most correct, and the best for comparing the coverage of different ceiling lights.”
We will keep you posted, meanwhile…

OR2 150/120/90/60 Reef LED rasvjeta X T5
Orphek nudi rješenja LED rasvjete u stilu panela posljednjih 10 godina, pružajući visoko difuzni izvor svjetlosti i isporučujući savršeni intenzitet i spektar grebenskom akvariju u obliku Atlantik serije.
Sada u kombinaciji sa našim OR3 možete dobiti vrhunski spektar kao da koristite T5s!
Ideja je bila da se razvije pristupačna LED dioda, koja nudi dužinu pokrivanja rezervoara poput T5, ali ima svu efikasnost, izbor spektra i snagu povezanu sa LED tehnologijom sa sljedećim prednostima:
- OR3 bar LED diode obično troše 50% manje energije od T5.
- Za razliku od T5 sijalica, koje treba zamijeniti nakon 6-12 mjeseci, LED diode ne zahtijevaju održavanje.
- Za korale nije potreban novi period aklimatizacije – postoji sa zamjenom T5 za nove sijalice.
- OR3 bar LED diode imaju snagu od oko 2 x više od uporedive T5 sijalice – što znači da je potrebno manje jedinica za potpuno osvjetljenje akvarija.
- OR3 hladnjak je oko 41C i toplina se raspršuje prema gore umjesto zagrijavanja akvarijske vode.
- Svaka OR3 traka ima višestruke LED čipove u boji koji pružaju uravnotežen spektar za svaku traku.
- OR3 LED diode prodiru u vodeni stup dajući bolje performanse na dubini, pružajući efekt svjetlucanja kako bi akvariju dao oštriji, šareniji vizualni izgled.
- OR3 bar LED diode standardno dolaze u 2 spektra izbora sa prilagođenim opcijama dostupnim za posebnu narudžbu.
- Samo 2 x OR3 šipke, kombinacija 1 x Reef Day Plus i 1 x Blue Plus će dati PAR od ~400 na površini i ~250 + u sredini akvarijuma postavljenog 20 cm iznad nivoa vode.
