Review | Maxspect Jump L165 LED Light

[@CarterOwen-hc4jw]

Thank you one of the few reefers on yt who know how to review a light 😂

[@herbst8382]

Thank you for sharing your expirience with this light. I used it now since 3 Months and didnt find the right settings for my LPS/Softcorals. So i tried your profile and now the corals benefit from the settings.

[@MyFirstFishTank]

An excellent and in depth review! Thanks!

[@staylor6356]

Loved the Review! I wasn’t able to load the QR code for some reason…would you mind sending me a screenshot maybe of your light settings? Thank you!

[@cloudstrife8503]

The very best review on maxspect! Salute! Which one do you think is best for my tank: - Maxspect RSX 200w or - 2pcs Maxspect Jump LED MJ-L165 Tank dimesions: 40 x 16 x 18 inches (LxWxH) 180 liters tank. I have mostly LPS and Zoanthids. Thanks in advance for your advice!

[@poshey22]

Loaded your settings thank you

[@philipcheung7762]

Awesome review! Few questions. How did you derive the lighting schedule and the spectrum, what was it based off of? Also can you attach the QR code of your schedule along with the overview so that we can replicate it by scanning with the app? Thanks a lot!

[@DutchReefer]

Hi Philip, of course! I have updated the link in the description, which is: i.imgur.com/zaRaP6D.jpg I have made this schedule from personal experiences over the past years, so it's not something "proven"

[@philipcheung7762]

Dutch Reefer Thank you so much!

Hoi ik wil graag deze lamp aanschaffen. Twijfel tussen de blauwe versie en de gewone. Ik vind zelf fluoriserend wel mooi , maar wil ook wel de vissen en later zeepaardjes goed zien. Hoe blauw fluoriserend kan de gewone of de blauwe iets minder blauw? Mandarijnenpitvissen bijv verdwijnen denk ik qua kleur in de blauwe versie?

[@DutchReefer]

Hi! Ik vind zelf de "gewone" beter omdat je ook daar gewoon blauw voorkeur kunt geven. Met de Blue versie ben je net iets minder flexibel qua kleuren. Maar beide zijn goede keuzes :) en met beide kun je je pitvissen goed blijven zien hoor!

[@sork.5988]

@@DutchReefer bedankt voor je reactie. Over die blauwe kleur os dat dan ook fluoriserend effect. Ik heb t idee dat wit en blauw zijn gecombineerd bij de gewone waardoor je toch een "witte" uitstraling hebt.

[@DutchReefer]

@@sork.5988 Blauw is standaard fluorescerend vanwege het spectrum. Maar wat ik al zei, je kunt ook beide lampen het blauwe en witte kanaal zelf aanpassen dus met beide lampen is exact hetzelfde licht te maken. Alleen bij de Blue variant is er iets meer keuze in het blauwe spectrum, bij de normale kun je 'm "witter" maken zonder dat dit ten koste gaat van de opbrengst.

[@sork.5988]

Bedankt. Ik heb toch de blauwe versie genomen. Mooie lampen inderdaad. Het lukt nig niet om via de router te verbinden helaas dus qr code scannen is nog niet gelukt helaas...maar zoek nog een goed lichtschema om handmatig toe te voegen.

[@DutchReefer]

@@sork.5988 Ook heel mooi ja! Via de router is wat gedoe, hij moet op 2.4 ghz namelijk. Maar het lichtschema kun je ook prima handmatig invoeren :)

Very nice review, looking for a new light for my 27 by 27 by 27 aqua one cube. Do you think this could be suitable? Looks like it should be. Thanks.

[@alejandromiranda9880]

Thank you for the QR, I copied your configuration!

[@DutchReefer]

Good to hear, I have been using it ever since, gives great results!

[@NordicD.K]

Thx for the Video and QR Code ✌️👍

[@barbarawiddowson635]

If your corals are growing(and you can tell they are)then the light is a good one.Shame about the placement of the tightening nut but as you've said it's minor.Thank you for the review,Stay safe.

[@beatap6250]

So beautiful tank 😃😄👍♥️

[@twiny123]

What’s your tanks dimensions?

[@Lyra_Piter]

Oops, do you have the option of hanging it with a steel cable? or is it just in support?

[@TheDaveyd29]

great review thans, love this light, thinking of getting it for my tank, i have a 27 inch cube , do you think i can get away with 1 of these or will i need 2 ?

[@TheDaveyd29]

@BRIAN LENNON cheers mate

[@DutchReefer]

I agree wit Brian, one should be enough!

The spectrum of your lamp is quite good, can you share an LPS spectrum? Thank you very much for the QR code!

@@DutchReefer brilliant, thank you !!

[@JoergHH62]

Charming review.But I missed an overview of the automatic moon phase function and how to set it.

[@DutchReefer]

Thanks Jörg! That's right, I didn't cover that function since I'm not using it. I'm still of the opinion that your fish and coral require non-light periods during a day, which are at night. Of course you can use the moon phase function but I don't really see the need for it. Cheers!

[@JoergHH62]

@@DutchReefer There are animals for which the moonlight is important to orientate themselves at night. Therefore the moonlight function is already important. Too bad that you did not consider this.

[@DutchReefer]

@@JoergHH62 Yeah well I'm sure other reviewers have considered it though :-) and there's always *some* amount of light in our house even at night, so I won't use it. Have a good weekend!

[@jonandlisa2000]

Good review 👍

[@VluggeJapie33]

Fantastische review! Zijn echt lampen die ik aan wil schaffen, heb je enig idee wanneer ze te koop zijn in NL? Kun je 2 lampen ook koppelen zodat je beide hetzelfde instelt? En nog een laatste vraag, wat is het verschil met de Maxspect Ethereal? (behalve dat deze meer leds heeft)

[@DutchReefer]

Dankjewel Armin! Als het goed is zijn ze vanaf eind augustus / begin september verkrijgbaar, ik zal het even voor je navragen! Oh en je kunt ze inderdaad koppelen door ze te groeperen in de app. Dan doen ze exact hetzelfde. Ik heb zelf geen Ethereal gehad dus dat kan ik je helaas niet vertellen :)

[@VluggeJapie33]

Dutch Reefer thanks 😎👍🏼

[@AnythingForSouls]

no idea how you got to settings cant even get it to pair

[@hhinojosareef1]

Nice review thinking about getting 2 for my IM 50 lagoon. What type of leds do they use on this fixture?

[@DutchReefer]

Thanks! The light uses Cree XLamp, XT-E & XP-E LED chips

[@karennation3580]

@@DutchReefer Does it say that on the box or in the direction? I will send you the money and you can ship it to me in America! LOL JK This light is perfect. i was going to get a razor because it has all these colors but hate that it is in legs! But might have to or a fortune on the radions because I like the spectrum, very similar to radio!

[@irishlad7458]

Only trouble with fan pulling underneath is salt creep on a open tank

[@DutchReefer]

Yeah I agree, this could be an issue over time!

[@freakygoblin3068]

Surely what is important is the depth and spread rather than "liters". Are there default modes for lighting schedule as let's face it, many people want a simple plug and play rather than having to set up each colour. Alternative would be the ability to load profiles. Overall looks an interesting light but personally, I hate the massive logo.

[@DutchReefer]

Yeah true but that was too much to cover in this video. There are some default modes you can use as well, and you can import schedules that other people make by using a QR code. So overall very easy to customize even if you're not into doing it yourself. Agreed on the huge logo, although most of the time you don't notice it as it's on top of the light.

[@nathan6508]

Can u choose a ramp up time either end like the ai prime

[@nathan6508]

Hi there I know this is a old thread but I currently run a ai prime 16 hd on a 20 gallon tank but find its shading my sps up top because how there are more clusters in this light do u think I would get less shading beautiful tank BTW 😊

[@garrett_9092]

Shading will dramatically decrease with this light 100 percent

[@nathan6508]

Thanks dude 👍

Hi, did you use a filter for this video? Debating this lighting system for my new Waterbox.

[@DutchReefer]

Hi Michael, I didn't use a filter on this video. On purpose, since that would change the way it looked. So what you see is what you get :)

[@michaelboden5089]

Ah right ok, the blue doesn’t look very blue so assumed you used a filter 👍

[@DutchReefer]

@@michaelboden5089 Hmm that might have been the camera adjusting to the blues then. Since (especially in the dark) it is extremely blue :)

I might try the light and see 👍 the price is good so worth a look

Do you think this light can grow sps in a 2x2 cube?

[@garrett_9092]

Yeah it wouldn't have any problems I grow sps with a ai prime 16hd in a 18 by 18 tank. This light is much brighter than the ai primes and will give off way less shading

[@KreefAquariumhobby]

Netjes!

[@DutchReefer]

Dankjewel!!

[@karennation3580]

i have been looking for a light for a month and as soon as I saw your tank and all of the colors in the spectrum I said I have found my lights! BUT then when you showed just blues it wasnt very blue. I have not seen a light beside the maxspect razor (which I was about to buy, because it has the same spectrum and I found it for 100.oo off) It is the type that sits on legs though and I dont really like that type! I like mounts much better. I am also looking at noopsyche and zetlight ufo, which has even more spectrum because it has amber! But I dont really care for the way they have the spectrums mixed on the channels, then they have a newer model that has all separate channels and less colors but dosnt say it uses cree lens like the other ufo model I wonder why the blu didnt look very dark at all. I like the de[ blue look and since it has the marine bile as well as the lighter two It should be way bluer than it looked. I dont know why they eave so many red and green leds? Just as many as some of the blues. You tank certainly looks nice when you pumped up all the channels though! I am like you and like a whiter tank during the day and yours looks great with a lot of pop!

[@DutchReefer]

Hmm it might not have looked as blue on the video but I can assure you that it's really blue and popping if you use blue and uv channels together!

[@irishlad7458]

Can't remember last time I had a jump

[@DutchReefer]

Having a jump can be relieving, even renewing!

[@austinjt4264]

Products itself are Ok. But they better not be broken. As Maxspect has one of poorest service of all time. Everyone from dealer, to distributors, to company itself just plain irresponsible. I've learn to avoid choice to avoid Maxspect...
