Thoughts on "Cheap" LED fixtures

ajones2n · Jul 13, 2014

Hey guys, I've been discussing lighting with some friends and have come to you for advice. First, What would you consider to be the best LED fixture for your buck.

Second, I have a couple fixtures to ask specifically about. The first fixture is the Current USA Orbit fixture. Has anyone heard of them? What are your thoughts? And, has anyone ever used them? The second, Taotronics LED lights. Same questions.

While I have no experience with the two that you mentioned in your post I have used the reef radiance product and really feel they are a good value for the dollar that you spend on them. I also have a pear of Chinese blue and white LED's that seem to do a pretty good job but I would prefer the reef radiance better.

I have used both that you mentioned. The currents were horrible. Color of my coral changed for the worse.

Tectonics we're good, but they started flickering.

I am currently running reef breeder photons. I am very happy with them. They didn't break the bank. They are programmable and have a large spectrum.
