I am all about what works. I paid 425 for a mp40 few years ago. I still want some because I love the way they look on the tank. I am using jeabeo now. They both work. I have kessils, and I love them. How ever I am thinking of selling one so I can get two of the ocean revive lights. I'll use kessil for shimmer and other led for Main lights. I agree the cheap lights are just as good. Where it's made dose not matter. What matters is ( support for the products we buy regardless of who made it, and the reliability) I use jeabeo power heads but I am too afraid to use them for a return pump. Given the past problems with there power heads I can't put my faith in there return pumps.
