Has anyone looked into these LED's? New! Dimmable 1x120w LED Aquarium/Tank Light Marine Coral Reef Fish Grow Light | eBay
There have been so many clones of this light it's funny.
Blueline Aquatics and a host of others (including hydroponics lighting companies) have imported more or less this same light since LED's first appeared on the commercial scene. Blueline's version (they have 120w and larger units too) goes for $300-$340, just for reference. You might consider doing some research on these kinds of lights from other sellers like Blueline just to see what this format is like in deployment, what others' experiences have been with those. FWIW I think people who are accustomed to florescent lighting probably have a tough time adapting their preferences to this sort of light due to the shading inherent to point-source lighting....former halide users (like me) probably will have nicer initial experiences since they are already accustomed.
Someone mentioned worrying over efficiency on Chinese LED's and they didn't specify what they meant - I'm not sure there are any worthy concerns here. Lack of power factor correction is all I'm aware of and this is not a significant issue IMO. However, caveat emptor is always the rule concerning quality and a new product or manufacturer - that would surely apply as much here as it does everywhere else.
Good luck with the choice - let us know what you decide to do!

P.S. Check out that Tunze Turbelle Classic pump on that tank in the product pic!! Whoever is showing off/selling these on eBay at least has a good budget - would be interesting to see if they're building lights of commensurate quality. (And holy-moly did anyone look at that sellers other items for sale? Wow.)
I actually did not go with these lights.... I went with a well know LED company that is a sponsor on this site- I only posted this just to get some feedback on it. But I got a sweet deal on a Lighting unit for $379.99 all dimmable and controllable. Oh and I am switching from and ATI T-5 unit to LED. I am jumping ship.
