Just an FYI... and no I do not have an affiliation with the company.

I keep asking if anyone has bought and par tested but havent heard anything

 

[Mr_Knightley]

This looks awesome! I'll have to check them out at some point, lighting prices are what have kept me from setting up new tanks.

Similar versions of lights like this have been on Amazon for a few years.

Interesting. I think I've come across this company in searches for non reef related LEDs. I'm keeping an eye on this to see if anyone can provide data. Seems too good to be true. :-)

But if it doesn't say "Reef" on the box then how am I going to be successful? I better pay 20 times as much just to be sure.

I have seen these for years now.

Has anyone run them on a reef system? Would like to see some pics of systems running these.

Someone should get a couple 12k and blue and put them on a frag tank for our entertainment!

 

[WVNed]

I would love to try them but the cords. So many cords. Can they be daisy chained? Can they be dimmed? How high off the water?
Only 50 watts. It says 6 over a180, 3 white and 3 blue. That only totals 240 watts.
