Robb in Austin Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Based on my research on Reef Central before I went with LED, these look like generic Chinese LED's marketed/sold by many different companies. The general consensus is they are good fixtures that will work. I'd say, if the price is right; go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'm looking for a light to go over a frag tank I want to set up. I'm using LED's on my DT so I want n LED fixture over the FT too. Thanks for your input Robb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bpb Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I don't see a pic but the description sounds like your standard eBay/Amazon black box specials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Reefer Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 LEDs have come a long way recently to enable down pricing. As with all electronics the market is moving to the programming and miniaturization of the product. It is here where you will find the additional costs. Chips, emitters secondary lenses and a better variety of more complete spectrums is pretty common now. It seems the Chinese have mastered this market. Go figure and do it a lot cheaper than American made products. The new frontier in aquarium lighting is changing and the all in one CFL E-27 socket style aquarium bulb with built in ballast for around $20 each is on the horizon brought to you by guess who. Get ready cause there coming to a web site near you soon. At 2X rating of MH these new lights will rival LEDs at a fraction of the costs. An array of 25 - 100 watt bulbs in different heats just like T5s will bring a wide spectrum of possibilities. Imagine 5 bulbs generating 500 watts total for $100 and that includes the ballasts. Ding! Ding! DING! Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 500 watts = lots of heat too. Not good for a built-in system. I've been able to completely do away with my chiller by switching to LEDs. These do sound very interesting, but I'll be sticking with LEDs for the foreseeable future. They may be perfect for the frag tank though except I think I want to have the same type of light over my frag tank as I do over my DT since that's what the coral is used to. If I'm going to sell or trade the frags, then maybe it doesn't really matter. When are these expected to be hitting the shelves? LEDs have come a long way recently to enable down pricing.
