Default Looking for GHL reviews from users...

Hi all,
I am now planning a second tank and thinking about trying the Mitras. It may be a bit early but I'm looking for some real user reviews on these lights and not sales pitches please.

Thanks.

Can one of the mods amend the title from "GHL" to GHL Mitras?
Thanks

I have 4 on order I think there are only 3 users here in canreef that have the light that I know of. If you check out sphelps build thread he has it.

rodneyri on RC is getting amazing results.

I am holding off on the Mitras until the Radion Pro is out. If I can get similar coloration from upgrading my Radions, I will be happy.

I have three, what exactly is it you're looking for or want to know? I did a bit of a blurb in my build thread when I got them.

Steve, how do you feel the Mitras compares to MH as far as visual color appearance? Any disco? I think you've only had them for 3 weeks, right? So you can't really comment on growth and what coral color the lights produce. I'm checking out rodneyri's results...seems he's had the Mitras the longest.

Thank you for sharing. I really like your methodical approach in sharing your new build... With regards to the Mitras can you tell me if the spread is as good as they advertise and is the blending of the lights anywhere close to resembling the t5s as the pictures from what I have seen so far are hard to tell. I have had the chance to see some very nice tanks using t5s and i have not seen any LED lights (IMO) so far being able to mimic t5 lighting.

If they are the real deal would you hang two lights length wise parallel to the display or width wise like how you have them set up on your tank?

Thanks

Wayne

In regards to the price of these units, if it was too high the demand wouldn't exceed the supply. Simple concept. The price isn't cheap and it's not for everyone but there are plenty of people who would easily justify the cost, the value is there.
