Well, here is the after video. Got my unit set up and running. Looks good.
Definitely like the shimmer.

Early critique....

I don't know if it was my expectations but I expected it to be brighter?!? I have the unit at 100% on all 6 channels and it is only slightly brighter than my T5 HO's were. The quality of the light may be much different however and the effects on coral growth are yet to be seen.

Definitely should have extended the casing down on the front of the light. If you sit at eye level with the tank, the glare is blinding. I covered the front of my lights with a 3" strip of reflective silver mylar.

Also, feet are somewhat adjustable in length but not in height.

You can hear the fan on the ballast turning on and off regularly,...it's noticeable but not too distracting. I think if they had it running continuously but at a lower speed it wouldn't be as noticeable.

Haven't started to play with the Android app yet
