anyone use swc 60 watt cree units?

[ecvernon]

I just wanted to know if anyone here was using these leds. I did some research and they are made by a manufacturer in china. Some company's in the United States buy from them then slap their own brand on these led units. I bought them from TB came to about $530 (with black friday 11% off)for two units. also they have a two week guarantee in which if i dont like them i could send them back. figured hey what the hell! ill be lighting my 65 gallon tank with them. hoping they are enough

The units from china were like $149 before the rebranding. If you can I'd spring for the AI sol would be like $100-$150 more and imho better off.

Well I plan to see how they work first. 1st 2weeks I could get my money back. Ai is very nice but I dont need all the extra settings. just on off and dimming is what I need. $530 vs $911 if I dont like them I guess its aquaillumination it is. Just wondering if anyone had any failures with these units. TB gives 1 year warrenty and manufacture gives like 3 or 4 years

Like he mentioned they are all the same with some rebranding.

Go to nano reef. Tons of people bought them.

Beware swc....the owner steals patented products and
makes cheap knockoffs in china.

He was sued by reef octopus and ge stole PaulB's majano wand idea
