My son bought two and said they rock. He got the dimmable ones, I think they were around $150 apiece shipped.

I paid $160 for mine that are dimmable and it has been perfect so far.

I've got the member modified on my 120, you're welcome to take a look. They are pretty similar to the reef breeder ones ( same circuit board and drivers)- minus the spectrum.

Yeah...it's the best reef tank in Union County ;-)

Oh lord, not LED knockoffs again lol.

Nothing knockoff/eBay/Chinese is ever good enough for our reef tanks

I have one of the 120 watt fixtures on a frag tank and it does just fine.

It's 50/50 blue & white. It even got 'dunked' once, while on loan. After drying it out, it fired right up and has been working ever since.

I bought it 2nd hand, so can't comment on the retailer/eBay seller.

How can they be a knockoff when just about everything is made in China any way?

Look up tdb320reef on reef central and look at his led threads (id it's not that username then it's tbd320reef). He runs a gorgeous sps system with 100% led lighting and says he is using 8 of the ebay fixtures, not sure which ones but it seems like it's working awesome for him so I'd maybe check that out.

If you look hard enough, you may find some "great quality" units made in other countries. I refuse to use words like "great quality" in the same sentence with the country you listed above. Get ready!! The Chinese is building a small car to compete in the U.S. I'd rather walk or take a Greyhound for those longer trips. :wow2: Just my 2 & 1/2 cents. :yes:

Mine were from eBay too, Chinese and dimmable, 50/50 white and blue, corals been so.happy, but I think I spend close to 200, but if I had know before reefbreders I could probably choose them, overall happy so far.

Hate to be the first to tell you, but the Chinese are already making transmissions for Ford.:wow2:

:yay: :shades: Yea! That's probably why I don't own a Ford; and probably will never own a Ford. I hope you are not a big purchaser of "Smithfield products". China has just purchased them too.
