@acer I would give you feedback, but dont want to do it in this thread and derail it. Perhaps staring your thread in the Light forum would get you more responses. Good price for both though.

Whats the coupon?- I thought you could not combine.
Edit: Your right SliceGolfer - so now my cart is $593 for the Photon 50 V2+ - that is a good deal. I finally got the code correct for the Noopsynce and now that cart is correct at the $575. Confirmed free shipping on both. will pull the trigger on one of these today or tomorrrow.
You only have to program once even with 4 K7's, once they're linked (which is easy), you just use the controller and it programs all your lights.OK - black Friday has begun/announced: Noopsync's are 15% off and Reefbreeders are 10% off. So for my 60 inch long x 24 front to back x 24 deep, 150 gallon mixed reef I am looking at:
Option #1) 4 K7 pro II's with one controller = $677 - 15%= $575. Each K7 is 95 watts each = 380 total max watts and comes with a 1 year warranty.
Option #2) Reefbreeder photon 50 V2+ = $715 -10% - $50 coupon= $595. The fixture says max wattage is 240 and it has a 2 year warranty with shipping covered both ways on them.
Of note: neither option has wifi programming, both have free shipping, the K7's are more versitile if someday I decide to switch tank setup, the photon will be much easier to program = only one fixture.
********opinions wanted****************
Lots of lights discussed so far, so here is a consolidated list of the ones that fit the OPs criteria (in order they were posted):
Noopsyche K7 Pro II
Noopsyche 1802 Hybrid
Reefbreeders Photon V2/V2+
SB Reef Lights (gone belly up, may be able to find some around)
ReeFi Duo
RedSea REEFLED
Current Marine units* (0.5W LEDs, only good for really shallow tanks and low light corals)
Aquaticlife Cetus 2
Lominie Pixie 30
Redsea Reefspec
Euroquatics Angel A1P (gone belly up, but still able to purchase)
Maxspect RazorX
RapidLED Corona
Coral Box Moon LED
i did not include AIs and Radions, even though they were mentioned, as they are not considered budget lights really.

This is awesome!!I’m gonna get booed off the stage if I say. Lol
I also have a $43 blue cree light that was meant for emergency vehicles on my 50 gallon naughty clownfish jail. The irony of that just occurred to me.
Kessil A360x is the way to go for $350 each and $99 for the new WiFi dongle. Good thing is 1 dongle can control.up to 32 lamps.A lot of the black boxes can be controlled via reef-pi. It may not be for everyone, as it is very much DIY project, but it is an option that for some might be very good and budged friendly.
Some of the SB Reef lights have features that you listed, however I heard rumor that they went under.
Noopsyche K7 have great reviews but for bigger tanks, not sure if they are cost effective. You would 3-4+ units (depending on what you want to keep)
Reefbreeders Photon V2/V2+ would probably be best bang for the buck for bigger tanks

Simply cannot beat the 2ft by 2ft spread even when hung from as low as 10inc above the water. Not the mention the blender spectrum and not the disc ball effect associated with other LED fixtures.
Where are they 225? I was about to get the 16 for 210... is the 26 too much light for a 29g biocubeThe hydra 26s are so cheap right now idk why you would go with anything else. 225 for new light I think is what you can get them for on the classifieds
Check the R2R classifieds they we’re gonna sale around bf as well. Might have sold out for the most part due to discontinued inventory. The 26 isn’t too much light you will be able to grow sps in the upper 12” sweet spot but not much past that. The only real issue with it is that the intensity is really concentrated in the middle and you get shadowing so 2 primes would be better but cost more. If I had to do it again I wouldn’t buy leds and go T5 but if I had to get leds id definitely buy it again.Where are they 225?
