I am currently running the Current USA marine orbit pro on my 50 gallon. I was wanting to upgrade to the DSunY 240watt. Has anyone had experience with this light?

Do you have a link to the DSunY 240 watt fixture?

It will certainly be more powerful than your Current USA fixture. I haven't used a DSunY fixture for many years, but they used to be just like most of the other black box leds. Almost all of them use 3 watt leds, so I'd bet this one has 80 leds. However, almost all of them run those 3 watt leds at 2.2 watts. I'd bet the driver has a 175 watt output.

Hopefully others will have hands on experience with the specific fixture you are considering. Good luck.
