These will be great lights when the next couple of revisions of the software comes out, right now its very basic. The light output however is intense. The only thing I worry about though is having it all concentrated in the center of the tank. They are kind of like MHs in that way although people usually will supplement those with some T5s, so that's a little to think about.

One thing (other than the software) I was disappointed about was I was assuming that since it has wireless communication that it could be controlled wirelessly, but that's not the case. Programming and settings and such need to be done plugged in.

Other than that they are beautiful lights and awesome case design.

Here is a couple of pics of mine but not the greatest quality with an IPhone. Currently in the pics they are drawing 75 watts combined with a PAR rating of 400 at the water surface approx 12" below fixtures.

"The only thing I worry about though is having it all concentrated in the center of the tank."

Have four ordered from Modular LED, three for my new 120 and saving the last for a future frag or nano tank. Hope having the three hung width-wise (instead of horizontally ) will give more balance.

One thing (other than the software) I was disappointed about was I was assuming that since it has wireless communication that it could be controlled wirelessly, but that's not the case. Programming and settings and such need to be done plugged in.

Hope Ecotech will come out with a wireless USB down the road or even possibility of a Bluetooth for iPhones etc...
