Do you have the regular ones or the dimmable? Are dimmable lights worth it or does it not matter much?

They also have solderless kits available as well. I'll more than likely go with them for my 90g build

I would be willing to bet that the majority of DIY kits are using parts made in China

One of the guys that works at another good LFS near me told me that "most of these lights/LED's are made in china anyways". Kinda funny because they sell those chinese LED fixtures there, but he told me to go on ebay and get them for almost half the price.

Those Onyx look nice.

The dimmable ones are way with it! The ability to adjust to what u like is nice. Plus with a lot of coral I buy I need to dim my lights for a while to help aclimate them. I got the manual 3 Chanel dimmer with the hopes of going to an apex one day..

This I know. But my concerned came with quality control.i know I'm not an underpaid worker that probably works long hours and can make mistakes. I'm not perfect but I have more confidence in my attention to detail.
