Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a 65g salt water tank and really didn't like the "plain Jane" look of my fluorescent lighting.It just seemed so flat and boring.I really like the metal halide lights (who doesn't)but don't like the cost and power consumption.Also, having to possibly run a chiller in the summer months was totally out of the question.So I took a leap of faith and began purchasing these LED's.I have 3 hooked up now and I'm totally impressed.They're tiny and fit anywhere.I built a custom rack out of plywood and they sit right over the water under my old hood.Now there's tons of empty space under there and I'm thinking about fabricating a new lower profile hood.Just plug them into your timers or wall outlet and you're set.I plan on adding three more as each paycheck comes in.The beauty of these is that they are totally modular and you can add move them around as you please.One misconception is that the adds say "No heat".There is heat.Nothing like anything else on the market, but there is still heat being generated.However, it all dissipates up away from the water.There is little to no heat directed at the water surface.I would suggest you have at least 3 inches of space above the lights to allow heat to dissipate.No need for a fan.The light coming from these is sharp and bright for the level of power being consumed.The shimmer effect is insane.
