I am not sure but I have had the coral life for about a year and my plants did horrible. They were doing great but now hardly anything grows. Unless you have a shallow tank I would get something stronger.

Sorry, I gave this as a gift and he's very happy with the light but no experience with the other light to make a comparison.

Bleed isn't too bad, but I wasn't impressed with the light quality. Its a downward cone. I've since moved on to a d120 style light from reef radiance. Similar pricing and I'd you wanted even cheaper there's one up on eBay for like a hundred that not programmable.

Low like, easy corals. You should look at getting the 48-60" version or finding another light that uses true 5w leds.

Thanks for the input. The light is flexible and an improvement over past attempts, but I had hoped this higher end version would be a true upgrade. Still a good light.

IMO, no. They are overhyping this light. It does not even adequately cover 2 x 2. And why have they not given us the working wattage? That is an important number.

As long as the green LED is lit your good. It all comes down to what kind of strike it's hit with. Most normal surges on in coming power should be ok. Lighting on the other hand can be a lot of heat, which would be the problem. That's why as long as the LED stays green it's good or turns red it's been exposed to high heat. It has a 3yr warranty and comes highly recommended. For most people it's cheap insurance. They pay up to $7500 I believe if something happens during the 3 yrs. I know people who have had them 10 years and still working. Hope this helps.

I was not impressed. If you ever need bright lighting (i.e. for reading, etc.), then you may want to go with a higher-wattage version. The light is nice, but if you can 'see' the bulbs, they do have some glare to them as they are clear, not frosted. If you are just looking for something that will give nice ambient lighting, you should be fine with them, though. I ended up using these in open, recessed can fixtures above our downstairs bar and they are fine there - but I don't need a bright light in that location. Also - these are NOT dimmable, so if the lamp has a 3-way switch, you may want to look at other options. Hope that helps! I was not impressed.

stay away from old style DC stuff, nothing but flutter and low bulb life. digital AC is the way to go now. go to Precision HID out of Miami, FL. correct headlight inserts, ac ballasts, plug and play connectors and bulbs

I can tell you that I like this light better than the UK SL4 eLED. I have owned the UK's for a long time, 3 SL3's and 2 SL4's, and by far, I like this light than the UK's. I hope this helps.

I personally never use the green dot but it is a nice feature to have. Some say the green light is easier to see but I guess it would be your personal preference.

Yes, KC, they are neon green, as can be guessed by what you see in the photo of beams of green. I understand what you mean about other products. It is disappointing that there is no product out there that's just right. I also don't like that it has a configuration that moves in the same path repeatedly. I would like simply twinkling white lights on a dark background, not with blue or green... Perhaps we should find a designer and manufacturer?...

I have it on my Spec V and love it. Its like it was made for the tank. Get this light. I have frogs, hammers, candy cane, zoas, and palys all growing with this light.

I just bought and returned mine. I got a 350 dollar ticket here in the US with it operating! I wouldn't trust this "new" model ANYWHERE. People may lie the new look or fancy lights, but until you have actually SEEN it protect you, or fail, it is all speculation. It failed.
