Does anyone have the A8 pro II or A8se max/blue (radion clone) LEDs?

[kodock]

Curious if anyone has or had these LEDs, and what their consensus was.. Maybe any decent pics of successful tanks running them. I’m normally anti-IP knock off “theft”, but I have a 8ft tank to light up and the budget calls to potentially disregard said values..

There’s a massive thread on R2R about them that’s worth reading. I’ve been debating getting one myself.

Yea, I’ve went through dozens of pages, but I haven’t seen a lot of mega colony tank with them.. or maybe I’m just not looking hard enough

A couple of good threads here from people who have them with big tanks:

AliExpress -A8SE light info help advice needed

Hey guys, so I’ve been trying to get my hands on some new lights for my 200 gallon and ofcourse the popular radeons and such are way too expensive for me… So i stumbled on the A8se lights on AliExpress but not much reviews out there just scams imo… Looking for some quality feedback on what you...

LED - A8 is enough?

Early data from the Radion lookalike A8. This is a tuned spectrum. With all sliders at 100%, it pulls 190W.

Thanks! Yea, I’ve got the info on them. Really just haven’t seen good full tank shots. The mega thread has some pics, but it’s 82 pages deep. A lot of details on the older models, but they have 240W newer ones now

AliExpress A8SE Reef Light

Anyone have any experience with this light? Just found it browsing AliExpress and thought it looked to be a pretty good knock off of the XR30 AliExpress A8SE I tried searching but nothing came up unless I was searching wrong

www.reef2reef.com

I came down to reefapalooza orlando, and was hoping to see some up close or something, but no luck. Lots of Gen4 radions and Kessil AP9Xs here.

The most incredible light I’ve seen is the ATI straton, but way out of the budget. They’re coming out with a long thinner led in a couple months that’s supposed to be cheaper. Anyway..
