I am very pleased with these lights. I did pick these up second hand here, so I am admittedly biased due to the fact they are over my tank, and they were more like wholesale for my wallet.
I did my research and, best as I could tell, these lights specs/design was every much in line with the often mentioned brands we see recommended.
I found the app very easy to set up, use and dial in so that my corals got the spectrums they need, and yet presenting lighting that pops with color when I settled in my favorite sofa seat at the end of a day's work.
Maybe I am missing something why these lights are rarely mentioned in the what lights should I get threads.
My experience was upgrading from the wifi controlled Fluval 2.0 lights. While fluval publishes PAR and spectrum numbers that should satisfy reef tank lighting needs, IMO white LEDs will resuly in good numbers but don't result in the wonderful colors we demand from our sps. Coronas limited use of white LEDs are in line with the often recommended brands.
@Jake Adams has a nice review https://reefbuilders.com/2016/11/10/rapidled-corona-has-a-lot-going-for-it/
So, aside from marketing, why don't we see the Rapid LED Coronas recommended more often? What deficiencies or limitations am I missing?
