I understand the reasoning behind this but IMHO isn't quality light and color asthetics more important than a feature such as dimming? I had dimming features on some of my FW tanks and NEVER used it. I run everything through a DA reef Keeper. Dimmming is for us....not for the corals..... If dimming were that big if a deal then MH would never have been so successful.....

I really like the look of them and have had the opportunity to see the AI and Orphek side by side....over a tank....with corals.... both looked good but I really like the Orphek better even when playing with the color of the AI......
