LED opinions?

[Mark_C]

I've been looking for affordable and reasonably reliable LEDS for a couple of weeks now. I've read all the posts, seen all the sights, and am now thinking myself in circles overanalyzing everything and in a rut on moving forward.

Many of these Chinese based LEDs appear to be exactly the same unit - same housing, same light layout. Are they the same unit sold by different distributers?

Anyways, I've narrowed choices down to 3 for a shallow reef (48x24x12). I've a good outside review of the Oceanrevive which I've seen in action and am impressed with, but would still appreciate feedback and constructive opinions from anyone using any of these lights...

All have very good Amazon reviews. Any thoughts or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I've been running (2) OceanRevive S026's over my 90 gallon reef for a little over a year and love them. Corals have been growing great. My buddy also has (4) of the T247's over his 180 gallon reef and he loves them too. They're pretty similar, just the T247's have built in timers. They seem to go on sale here and there, so be on the look out. I paid $156 each and recently saw them down to $136 each for the S026. But even at $175 or $199, they're still a good deal.
