Reef Factory Reef Flare PRO - any good?

[parclife]

Has anyone used or seen any good or bad reviews on the reef factory reef flare pro lights? Doesn’t seem to be much out there about them yet. Looking to upgrade my lighting and what a can of worms! Tank is 120cm length, 60 cm width and 46cm deep. Any advice greatly received!

Hello! Reef Flare Pro has been available on the market for one year, but mainly in Europe, Asia, and Australia. This light is extra powerful and has a really good spread. In my opinion best colors from LED's available on the market. The cooling system is very effective because it's not covered (as you see in the photo), so fans are barely turning on and Reef Flare Pro is very silent.

The design and the look are individual, but it's definitely one of the slimmest lights available on the market. On my tank 180 x 60 x 60 I was using 3 Reef Flare S Blue (only!) and SPS'es are growing well. PAR results are amazing so you can use much fewer lights to grant yourself really good growth of your corals. And because you don't need to use many units, it will consume much less energy ;)

Depending on what corals you have in your tank, if soft you should use 2 small if mostly SPS'es then 2 medium lights. Look at the photos and a movie of tanks with RF Pro and two YT reviews of the lights.

@aleksanderalski would you suggest Reef Flare Blue or Normal version? Can you please give me 2x examples from your aquariums (if you have): 1x Blue and 1x Normal version photos?

i currently have the blue and it’s a very nice light.. ordered 2 from BRS along with their mounts…

Lights seems to be good quality and they’re pretty thin and slick

The mounts work… but feel like it was just an afterthought and not so premium..


The support … I was sent a demo light by accident which BRS is fixing but when I reached out to reef factory support.. the guy literally told me since the distributor buys it for less.. they can help me fix it but I’ll have to pay 20% of purchase price… that didn’t sound like good customer service or ideal to me

What's the software like with these lights?
