Are all black box the same?

I have been looking at a way to light one of my 90 gallon tanks inexpensively, lps, and some sps.
Are all the black box led's the same? There is one that caught my eye on amazon, galaxyhydro full spectrum 165w. Anyone have knowledge of this fixture? I can 2 of them for $ 210.00, amazon reviews are decent but center around "just got them, love them" anyone had them a while?

No, they are not all the same. Some use BridgeLux LEDs, some use Epistar LEDs, and the others use Chinese LEDs. Go with the BridgeLux LEDs if you can find them. Other than that, they are the exact same.

Do you have a link?, I checked on the one I mentioned, they are not specific. So there probably a sub par light. If anyone has a recommendation I would appreciate it.
