AliExpress A8SE Reef Light

[Futuretotm]

Yes i have the Magnetic shades for this light and they fit but they are very delicate

thanks printing mine today, I just hope the polarity of the magnets is correct (tank at home, 3d printer at work). 50/50 chance Im right.

What have people experienced with duties/tarrifs on aliexpress vs alibaba. Looks like aliexpress covers them whereas alibaba doesn’t.

If you were impacted by last night's time change, you will receive a Time sync message when entering the app. Confirming this will not permanently change the time of the device. You also have to go into settings and adjust your UTC zone. In my case I also created a new light schedule with no other changes and saved group.

Well I had to get a 4th light for my 6ft. The A8 Pro Max II lacked punch and I was pretty disappointed in their PAR outputs.

Fast forward to hooking up the A8 Pro Max III and wow this thing puts out way more par. I'm having to run it at 25% less across all channels compared to the II and it's still putting out 30 more par then the II.

Anyway, my skepticism has been dispelled. They are a significant upgrade interms of output!
