So I just picked up a set of these lights for my Reefer 350 as a refugium light and wanted to share my review of the product so far.
Product features:
Specification Parameters:
Overall I'm pretty happy for what it's worth. The real selling point for me was that there was a full spectrum of lights as apposed to the standard white or blue/red. This meant I could double it up as a small frag light in the sump to grow some lower light corals like Zoa, GSP and Leathers.
It's all controlled via a little IR remote. This is cool but the something I wish there was was a built in timer of some sort. Still having to run it on a tradition timer which is clunky. It also gets VERY hot as there's not active cooling besides the heatsink so don't touch it with the underside of your arm (Like I did) or you'll burn yourself lol.
The Cheato is growing very steady and I'm harvesting my little box once a week. Just added some dragons breath so will see how that grows under the light. For the price, it's a decent buy but there's obviously better options out there but with the space I had and what I wanted to achieve this turned out to be a decent investment.
