Yeah, they sure clean up the tank. No more large ballasts and large fixtures.
I think they give more shimmer than my halides did

No ballasts, just a small power supply the same size and style as a laptop

I bought two of them a few months back, my first lights ever. I love the shimmer too! Let me know how your corals do under them in a few months. Are you going to be running just the LEDs or an additional light for some UV?

I really like them so far, and the corals are doing great. Slowly ramping them up to acclimatize the corals. Started at 50% the first day , then 10% increases daily until I get to full maximum
