Also I cant tell which LEDs they are using from the description but in most cases, these fixtures from China are using sub par cooling and LEDs. This will mean you will be replacing them every few years and you will be using more electricity than a standard CREE LED setup so in the long run they will cost you more than a higher quality setup within a couple years with less growth.

Please don't consider these anything close to equivalent to a AI Sol or CREE DIY fixture. These are the reason people say "LED don't work, ive seen it first hand"

Stick to fixtures with 3W CREE XP-G, XP-E or XM-L LEDs that have been proven.

My 2 cents

FYI I sell and work with LEDs on a daily basis so I know a few things about them.

have you seen Dez's tank?

Actually no I haven't. Have you seen all the reviews, studies, posts, and comparisons all over the net on these 1w LEDs?
