Approx. Duty cost on LED Lighting from China?

[msjboy]

many people sending pms on lite so:

eshinesystems.en.alibaba.com/ or more specifically: eshinesystems.com/aquariumlight/60w-cree-led-aquarium-light.htm

Don't go live ( or do it when it's nite time in China) because there's a pesky, (but informative )chat box where a sales person immediately starts asking you questions etc.

I found out this at reefsantuary.com user who bought it swears by it since buying it a few months ago. check out the link!:reefsanctuary.com/forums/equipment/67414-my-cree-180w-led-thread.html ( user is pimpala) The price has dropped since he bought the lights. .. and BTW, it can be $100 each but of course you have to be a big company buying 1000's under contract.

The company will also bring out a more powerful one(s) soon as well for those folks with 200 gallon and beyond tanks. Don;t suppose any group buy interest in Vancouver here? Might be cheaper for freight/duty/brokerage.

Do you led experts on this forum here think - is this is a good lite albeit no fancy controller?; i am not too knowleagible of lights except 3W Cree's are supposed to be good and price seems ok for a newbie - ? so Plz let me/us know if this is a good lite...

best regs

thanks for the link.

not sure about the light but could never understand need for a light controller to have synching to phases of the moon or having lightning flashes (though do run my T5 actinics before and after my MHs are on).

What do you think of them? Got a pic of them over your tank? What are you growing under them?

I bought mine from Fish Street in Hong Kong. Had to pay total of 50 dollars for shipping by UPS. No additional duties or costs. Took about a week to my door

I wonder if that would work on my 240 running 4 of them on there
