Expert Series DIY KIT
After nearly 3 full years of testing, nanocustoms has developed a foolproof way to mod a 70w + 2 x 18w Actinics into your factory canopy, all while retaining the factory splashguard. While to some this may seem trivial, it means safe temperatures, and enduring operation.
Featuring the highest quality components, methods, and nanocustoms experience, the 1.70H series for the NC12 DX is the choice for those who want to add HQI light, all while retaining the factory fit, finish, and appearance. This setup will add actinic supplementation and allow sunrise/sunset simulation. This system runs so cool that in many cases it can be run without a chiller. Feel free to ask if this system will work in your case without additional cooling.
An updated, cooler running, and quieter 70w HQI lighting engine, and other options, this is the system for the person who wants it all.
Please note: Soldering is NECESSARY. Our results and standards of safety are based on soldered/heatshrunk connections.

Run fans 24/7 or at least 2 hour after halide turns off to ensure proper cooling. Nanocustoms also highly recommends replacing fans every 6-8 months for optimum heat removal and proper cooling throughout the canopy. |
