so my lfs just bought four of the 90 watt version of these, and I am going to be getting two 80watt versions for my tank. They haven't come in yet but i was wondering if anyone knows much about them, or have used them? The lfs is switching out all his lights with these, so thats why i got them, and if i do not like them, he said he would buy them from me for full amount. so i thought why not try it out.

they are skywood 80watt led lights. they are apex compatable and come with all mounting and hanging options.

It doesnt look bad. It would be nice if you could post a review of the lights when u get them. Be the first, help advance our hobby. Looks like its dimmable in 1%increments which would be nice. Kinda small it seems tho. what size tank?

they are going on a 90 gallon tank. I'm getting two of them and they are both 80watt. I will definitely post a review and maybe a video or two on youtube.

They look good and have the UV LED's which is great. However, the piece of plastic covering the LED's concern me a bit. That might cut down on light transfer a bit.

i thought about that too. there has to be a way to get it off. I believe its there for a splash guard but I have a glass top on my tank, i have cats, so a splash guard will not be necessary. it looks sorta odd being larger then the housing too . so yea, ill be taking that off if I can anyway.

EDIT: after looking at the pictures a little closer, the plastic piece is just held on with 4 screws, so ya ill be taking that off since its got to go through glass also.
