Yes they area little bigger than say a Radion but they also don't cost $800!

There is one set up at Aquarium Illusions. They have a sweet colour temperature(reminds me of fiji purple's) but if you want to keep coral they probably won't be enough, they'd be better on a shallow tank. Another downside to this fixture is that there is only one plug/switch so you can't run the blues seperate.

With the optics, the fixture might be alright. I have a 120w led fixture (without optics) that uses some Chinese brand (quote/unquote Bridgelux) 1w leds and it is alright. Keeps stuff alive but not much growth and ok color. Killer light for LPS/softies but for SPS, I could do much better.
