I like the nava reef leds by nicrew. Cheap and work well.

radion xr15 pro
they are great lights but way too overpriced. if you want to spend that much reefi uno is the way to go.
nava reef was a great suggestion but is more towards the blue spectrum. nicrew hyperreef is more of a white spectrum similar to ecotech blue vs pro

reefbreeders meridian is great as well just priced between the reefi uno and the nicrew. kessil is always a good pick as well. I would suggest trying to find what looks best to you aesthically inside and outside of the aquarium (like shimmer and mounting options)

I’ve had great luck with Steve’s LEDs.
