Does anyone have experience with these lights.

I purchased a light and it was advertised at 108w but it’s only pulling 42watts. I understand that reefbrite does run theirs at something similar 50%. Just looking for advice and experience.

Did you but the 45" light?

Yes

They use 3w leds of course the Chinese ones. Id be curious of what each LED pulls. Is the driver adjustable? Or does it say what the wattage is?

Yea none of these are run at 3W
Usually 2.X or so,
Voltage range on the driver would be helpful.
And amp output..

Listing shows 900mA but that actually is a bit high for Chinese.. 500-700mA is usually max for single strings.
One possibility is it's run series/parallel putting 450mA per string.
Put you around 40-45W

Only way around it is to change drivers..
