I recently bought a pair of Straton X’s so not in the market, but came across an IG reel from someone in Vietnam. And while I didn’t understand what he was saying, I scoped the box and found that Jebao now has Straton dupes for roughly 45% of retail!

Curious if anyone has had experience with these yet and can comment?
I haven’t seen the knock off Straton X but I did purchase the Chinese knockoff of the prior generation of ATI LED reefing lights. They output a very nice spectrum but the unit ran hot and the spread was poor. One of the units also had a slightly defective seal over an LED which didn’t impact operation but could lead to moisture infiltration over time which isn’t a good thing with equipment running over a large reef tank. I ended up retuning those Chinese knockoffs which was not easy and required the help of my credit card company.

I now have the legit Straton X and could not be happier. Absolutely fantastic lights.
