Well same here not enough info.
But price is good and i don't care if they are not dimmable or controllable...
I am not a big fan of fancy $900 controllers, to me they are just fancy glorified timers that's what they are.
These new led lights are now 3W and individual lenses are replaceable. I personally spoke to someone who had SPS growing under old Marineland 1W x2 fixtures.
So with these 3W we have much better chance.
More so now we hear about SPS being bleached under LED's because there is too much light. Honestly i would like to know what is the difference between one 3W LED and the other?
Can anyone chime in?
Other then fancy features (ipad control etc) is there really a difference?
Why do we need Green and Red LED? what are these for? We newer had these colors before. All we had was MH DE or SE and some actinics, now we are being drawn in to something else... doesn't seem to ever stop.
So why spend $2K+ if i can pay ~$320 and have two fixtures with 3W LED?
I would really want to know.
