over all they seem to be nice.they use the royal blue leds and i like the clamp/mount 2

 

[REEF ADDICT]

i was wondering if that 10 watt flood lamp would be good for a fuge?

 

[REEF ADDICT]

good ?

 

[SWITCH420]

from what i read so far and can figure out it should be good 2 grow cheto.ect..well see if any led guys chime in

from what i have read...purely from reading. they said they had problems with the noise of the fan. people also mentioned the blue was way to blue for them to think it was promoting growth. also read somewhere that someone replaced the leds 4 times in a month. seen a video. i like the design...similar to others. best bet is to wait till technology advances and prices come down unless your going to go with one of the pricier units.

i think in the other thread, it mentioned that the bulbs were replaced at 18 months, and another at 24 months and so on.

FYI

Hi Rich.... this lights is new and at this moment only runs on 230w so might not be ready for export to US market yet.

As for the fan, most units (from what I hear) are working fine. Problems could be limited to the initial few units (teething problem I presume).

As for the LED, yes all bulb are stating a 50,000 life hours but then the color spectrum do shift after certain hours of burning in and that's the reason this manufacturer recommended a change of LED every 2 years (guess he is being safe)

And yes, the colors bulbs are adjustable from what I know. I've not used em personally but only seen reviews locally here from local reefers..
