Im about to get these lights for $180, anyone thinks its a good deal? Well is it a better deal than aquatraders 2x54 for 50$ or current usa retrofit 1x24 @ $20 a unit...or better than plain old ballast + end caps in a hood with a mirror reflector?
The Tek Lights are really good. Check on ReefGeek or Premium Aqautics and see what they're prices are. If they're going to be your primary lights you may want to go with the 6 bulb setup. It has 2 switches so you can run either 2,4 or 6 bulbs at a time. Because if you get the 4 bulbs and you want to upgrade you need to buy the 6 bulb fixture. Just something to keep in mind.
