The second one has 5 more blue than white. The first is 1:1 white blue. U really think its prob better? They 20 watts diff but the second does have lens
The 20 watts is only 7 LEDs and not sure you'll really notice 5 additional blues color wise. I have the the 1W version of the second over my 120 and while it lights the tank very nicely the edges are noticeably dimmer to me, with that I'd opt for the first if I could keep the light higher up. The 60* lens will work wonders lighting the entire tank even 12 inches off the surface, think of a mag light; bulb only produces so much light but when you focus the light it appears brighter.

So u think the first light would be worth a shot? It prob will cover my tank better and that it has lens. It's 26x26x17in deep. How high would u keep it over the tank to start? Not a fan of hanging my lights lol

Were u get yours from Ang?price?
Yes, if my 120 didn?t have the center brace I would add a third and spin them 90*. On a 24*24 the second version will leave either the front or back of the tank noticeably dimmer. On your tank I?d say start 12? and go from there.
Angelo, is this total for both fixtures or did you chose the 1W LEDs?
The nice part with these lights is the dimming feature, downside is the price next the eBay one.

okay i paid the same price as on ebay but where i got them they got tested out for 2 days to see if anything will go wrong with them. as you buying it on ebay mostly likely they wont even test them they will just sent to your place and wont care if one 1 led bulb goes wrong or not

Just talked to someone who has this and says it's a beast stronger than 250w halide! might have to go with it for that price and it'll take only a week to come in
