Anyone use/used these: Amazon product
They are super cheap for being a 300 watt light, just seems a little off to me. The reviews are decent and apparently they can put out massive par with 1 review stating 450 par at 12" over the tank.

Running two of these over my 75g mixed reef. They put out allot of light and you can adjust the white/blue ratio. Built in 6/8/12 timer is nice but if you want to do a ramp up/down, and increase/decrease light spectrum or intensity you have to do that manually thru the day. In retrospect I wish I would of spent the extra $ for lights with a controller.

They are not 300w.
900 Lumen @ 10000 Kelvin
Think about that for a minute. Their spec not mine.
Next see lifespan.
Somewhat disposable..

Compare it to their hort. light
Amazon product
  • Lighting Power: 300W
  • Power Consumption: 65W±5%

Only advantage is their reflectors vs lenses.

Take a look on YouTube for Ralassy Updated Aquarium Light. There are videos for both the older 300w $89 (Amazon) and the New 600w $179 (Amazon) which is programmable with dimmer functions.​

As previously noted running two 300w on my 75g. One went out after 2yrs. When these go out again I will be upgrading to better/programmable lights.​

Do you have a link to the 600w lights? I'm only seeing 300w on Amazon.

I wonder where 600 watts is coming from. There are 72 LEDs so each light would need to be over 8 watts.

Anyone know if that's possible? I never seen lights having over 4w per LED.

I'm not sure what you mean? What do tomatoes have to do with this?

Different lights help grow different things, my guess is this light is probably better to grow tomato instead of coral :)

It claims to be full spectrum, so it should be the same as any other reef light in that regard. I am curious on it's par output though. Also where the 600W comes from with 72 LEDs.

The "300w" and "600w" are, at best model names. Output is nowhere near that.
There are leds that run "5w class" diodes at possibly 4w but....this isn't one if them.

Magical thinking... :)
With 62 degree lenses and 14000 " lumens" they may be using the " equivalent" definition..

Even that is a s.t.r.e.t.c.h.
Actual wattage is prob around 150.
