New controllable Chinese LED's

[AJ1080]

I've been looking into LED's more and more and it looks like theres a new Chinese fixture on the market for around $300

Heres some of the features I saw on it:

3 Channels (White, Blue, Moonlights)
Bridgelux LEDS (Colors can be customized)
90 optics
Fully programmable
1 single cord, (no more 2 cords and 2 timers per unit)

Just wanted to think what everyone things about these, They look pretty damn sweet to m but im still new looking at the whole LED thing. The review starts at post 4003.

Arnie, don’t know what size tank you want to put the fixture over, but you might want to look at Apollo. Brightlux LEDs and assembled in the US of A….and they are in the three bills area.

Thanks for the info guys. Id be putting this up over a 75 so I would need two of the units. I did see the Apollo lights but the reasons I was looking at these are because of the following advantages:

The new LED has the controller built into it, uses only a single power cable for all 3 channels, and can link the units together. I honestly dont care about the remote control features and what not but for the price it just looks like you can beat it. The single power cable is actually big because I don't have much room in my cabinet and that would just make it so clean.

If I were to go with the Apollos one two units would cost 798 and then I would also have to buy the apex jr for another 150 brining me close to 950 as compared to a little under 600 for the others.....

Its going to be awhile before I do anything but for now im just really looking into all of the different models out there and hopefully will be able to come up with something soon.
