Aquatic Life Expert Series QUESTION

[shimshimshinil]

Hello Everyone I just had a question. Has anyone used the Aquatic Life Expert Series LED with 3w Cree Bulbs. I am looking to buying this light because a store close to me has one of these for sale at a pretty good price. However, I saw that online this light was discontinued. I just wanted to know if anybody has opinions on this light. Thank you

The light I am referring to is the 46 inch Aquatic Life Expert Series. It is $600 at Petco Duluth I lookied it up and it is a light that was normally 1,300, and I was wondering if it is a good light. I am contemplating that or just going with current orbit marine pros and buying corals

I can't find much on it. maybe there's a reason why it's discontinued

the 46' unit is 246 watts. which is rather low imo.
by comparison, the radion pro is 175/155 actual at 11.8 inches.

my unit is 165/120 actual at 15.8 inches, however mine are bridgelux.

id say its a gamble based on these figures.
