Just installed my chinese led
So a quick review on my new light. I got this one but with optic lenses and customized the lighting to what I think I would like.
http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/108940417.html After ordering I thought I screwed up and used too much blue but after installing it in my canopy and seeing it on the tank I'm blown away. That being said this is an upgrade for me so I'm not by any means comparing this to my other "awesome light." My old lights were 2 vho's that were very old and came with the system so I can't compare this to an expensive LED unit. I will say that I think this is much nicer to look at then my 250w mh with 20k I had on a old system. I was advised to get t5 or another mh but I took a chance and it is early but without having to worry about replacing bulbs, evaporation and energy cost I figured it was worth trying. Again shipping was fast. Build quality looks great. The dimmers are awesome and I can tone down the blue and my corals are poping with color. I will post before and after pictures tomorow.

Looks good! At that price, it was definitely worth a try. Let us know how the coral like it.

Just read through the link and there is no cooling fan. I would make sure your lights don't run hot (i.e. have a small fan blowing over it) because overheating, especially in the summer, will greatly shorten its lifespan.
