Figured it wasn’t as easy… lolWell I speak Arabic and blimey I gave up on Chinese in my first lesson.
I can have fairly ok listening and speaking comprehension. reading and writing is on whole other ball game, which I am absolutely illiterate. Chinese people at the restaurants always make fun of me since I can speak the language, but when I order food I say it in english...Figured it wasn’t as easy… lol
and really no real warranty...Processing Time is the timeline for an order to be manufactured, packed, and and delivered to the shipping carrier. After payment is complete, your order will ship within 10 days.
I use the ledzeal.com mirage x200 with my superblue layout.Ya, I was referring to V3 noop.. they are a sponsor here so you can get some support and such and 2 year warranty. I assume as long as they remain a sponsor, they would honor it.
I am a frugal reefer but I see better value in a V3 noop then the knockoff G5. It is cheaper and has support here and probably a legit warranty.
ALSO the reef uno 2.0 PRO right now is $360 - I have seen some nice tanks under this brand. I would also consider this a better value. It has support and a 3 year warranty. Price is pretty much identical to the offbrand G5. G5 with shipping is $417 and Uno 2.0 PRO is $360 + $55 mount + $15 shipping for mount so $430

As a frugal reefer I am always 'shopping around' and waiting for deals to drop.
Buying a brand new G6 is out of budget for me. It won't keep me from putting food on the table but I just can't justify it. So I get it... luckily there is always used equiptment available to buy or a large array of other lights that all still grow coral for different budgets.
I dont know where your coming from, but your doing the same thing you do on every mh post. Miss information mixed info ect.Sooo you want to drop $600 (with bracket) for a light sold by a trading company that has been in business for a year and has service like this:
and really no real warranty...
OK...
I picked a supplier..not finding "G5 knockoffs" hereI dont know where your coming from, but your doing the same thing you do on every mh post. Miss information mixed info ect.
The light is 377.00 WITH TANK MOUNT BRACKET. at aquarium low cost.
They have been around longer then 1 year. I purchased a number of things from them before brs carried the product. Example my kamoer x1 pro t dosers. I bought them from aquarium low cost 2 years ago, now this year brs carries them.
Guess what. If you need help with the kamoer pump brs tells you to contact coralvue as that's the USA distributor.
Well im planning to get 1 to compare. Obviously the controller chip won't be the same but there's a high likelihood that the rest of it is the same. After all the g5 is NOT made in the USA. I had posted multiple links so it wasn't hard to find the light on their site.I picked a supplier..not finding "G5 knockoffs" here

I will bet it is nothing like a g5, from the circuit boards to the fans to the diodes....
I use the ledzeal.com mirage x200 with my superblue layout.
4 fixtures running at a peak of 35% per channel gives me 300 par across the entire bottom of my 8x3x2 400g.
Those 4 wifi controlled lights cost less then 3 xr15 g5.
I like these knockoffs as a possible option for my frag tanks ect, or for others looking for the aesthetics of the g5. I've got this 400g and an 8x30x2 300g on the other side of the wall behind this 400g. If I were to try and light these with the real g5 I'd be looking at around 14 fixtures. That's 14x900.00 = over 13k with taxes. Not financially smart to spend that on lighting alone.
Agree to disagree..Obviously the controller chip won't be the same but there's a high likelihood that the rest of it is the same.
Nope that is why we are discussing the theft of intellectual property by the company selling the knock off out the back door of the factory that makes the parts for the G5 and G6.So all of the parts for the top reef LEDs are produced in the US? Right.
Link? The only thing I found was about a different light which looks similar but is not the counterfeit in this thread.Jake adams did an article about the xr15 g5 versions as well as the guy on the youtube channel reef dork. They talked about how close of a copy they really are and the app.
Yea seem to be discussing a knockoff of a knockoff . ...... Sort of .Link? The only thing I found was about a different light which looks similar but is not the counterfeit in this thread.
Chihiros Nova 1 is a Seminal Entry into Saltwater Aquarium Lighting | Reef Builders | The Reef and Saltwater Aquarium Blog
The Chihiros Nova 1 is a new LED light from a company which will be unknown to reef aquarium keepers but which has come to mean excellence in another side of the hobby. For several years now Chihiros…reefbuilders.com
Still waiting to see the teardown that has been promised in this thread.
Also waiting for the links to prove Ecotech changed their processes. Up to now they source components from various global companies, but key parts and assembly is done in PA.
That is the xr15 copy. Exactly what I said it was. Yeah still waiting for the tear down vid as well.Link? The only thing I found was about a different light which looks similar but is not the counterfeit in this thread.

It is not made by the company as your counterfeit. This one is also no where near the same design. It is a black square… but the heat sink, array and screws are different. This software is also completely different…. And the price is similar to Ecotech pricing.That is the xr15 copy. Exactly what I said it was. Yeah still waiting for the tear down vid as well.
Do you have one? Did you tear one down? Video proof of your claims? Or just speculation ? Your making definitive statements with zero evidence to back those up. I'm sure everyone else, just like me would love to see your video data.It is not made by the company as your counterfeit. This one is also no where near the same design. It is a black square… but the heat sink, array and screws are different. This software is also completely different…. And the price is similar to Ecotech pricing.
The light you keep talking about is junk, just like the a360x counterfeit that someone gave their first hand experience with.
Ecotech manufactures their boards (control, led, communication) in Pa.
The case, lens, fan and power supply are made by a third party per their design. Although the parts are made somewhere else, the design, material requirement and manufacturing specs come from R&D in Pa. Fasteners, chips and thermal paste come from suppliers after being ordered by Heatsink and cables… I have not seen or heard about those so they could be made in house or brought in. They have many CNC machines for building metal parts as they showed them in one of the Versa videos. Product is done in Pa.
Could the company where they have the case molded be selling them on the side? Sure. Probably not though as Ecotech would likely cancel future business with them and find another injection molder.
This is how things are made in today’s market. Many suppliers are used so no single one controls the product. They likely have multiple sources for many parts so they are not stuck in a sole source crunch.
This counterfeit is no different than a fake Rolex or Louis Vuitton. The Chinese govt does not respect patents or trademarks. They allow people to copy designs and distribute globally with no recourse other than the occasional bust to maintain appearances.
We are all waiting for you to plunk your $400 down and show us how this light has Ecotech insides.
I have the A360X knockoff from that brand (A+).Well im planning to get 1 to compare. Obviously the controller chip won't be the same but there's a high likelihood that the rest of it is the same.
