Does anyone have the UNS mini refugium light? I’m considering getting one but wanted to see how others liked theirs. What settings do you use and recommend for it?

I'm not familiar with the light but wanted to mention pretty much any cheap grow light will grow chaeto if that's your intention. I used cheap LED grow lights at $10 each and lit mine from 3 sides and was harvesting almost 1/2 of a 5g bucket each week.

I wanted one because it would fit in my refugium and is water resistant, but could not find one in Canada, so went with the tunze one, which is submersible. It’s working well so far, and if I recall correctly around the same price?
